Our culture tells us abortion is about “reproductive freedom” and “women’s rights.” As Catholics, we know abortion is really about the right to life of the unborn, and a culture that has transformed the meaning of pregnancy from a beautiful and purposeful outcome of the marital act to an unfortunate and unwanted side-effect.

This month kicks off with an interview with Deacon Nathan Beiersdorfer, a teacher at Moeller High School and father of three young children, on the important role men should play in the pro- life movement. The rest of the month’s podcasts focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected mental health care, especially on children and the elderly.
