Do Christians Want To Control Women's Bodies? with Karen Swallow Prior

Kyle Worley and Rebecca McLaughlin are joined by Dr. Karen Swallow Prior to have a conversation about abortion and how we as Christians can engage with the sanctity of human life issues most helpfully.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Would you be willing to share a bit of your story: How did you come to follow Jesus? What led you into your field of study? What led you to become involved in right to life and sanctity of human life issues?
• How has your involvement in this changed over the years?
• How do Christians engage most helpfully?
• What was your response when you heard about the prospect of Roe’s overturn? How should we respond?
• How do we live in the tension of being pro-life and glad for progress on this and at the same time relate to friends to who this feels like an injustice?
• How do we be sober-minded enough to view how tragic the full sweep of abortion is?
• How do we move forward? What’s next?
• What do we do now practically?
