Josh Brahm and Monica Snyder return to discuss the question: “Do You Need Religion to be Pro-Life?” The conversation touches on practical and philosophical points, including discussion about objective and subjective morality and its relationship with deism, as well as Monica’s experiences responding to both pro-life and pro-choice people who raise a scrutinizing eyebrow when they realize that they are talking with a pro-life atheist.
I’ve never been very good at a traditional ERI-style outreach or active sidewalk counseling. I’ve always struggled to strike up a conversation with a random stranger. No matter how many times I rehearse an opening line, when the moment comes, my voice chokes off before I can get a word out. I literally feel my throat and diaphragm physically seize. I’ve not completely given up on trying to clear this hurdle, but I’ve had to accept that my social anxiety is a real barrier to certain types of pro-life advocacy.

After much anticipation, Josh Brahm FINALLY gets to interview Monica Snyder from Secular Pro-Life about her background and expertise in Forensics. Monica explains how her work in forensics and DNA analysis affects her view on the abortion issue, particularly when it comes to questions about the justice system and why we shouldn’t prosecute women who have had abortions.
Content warning: Includes discussion of forensic rape kits as well as methods of testing whether a baby was aborted instead of miscarried.

Content warning: This whole episode is about sex. It’s probably not the episode to listen to around your kids.
Secular Pro-Life’s Monica Snyder returns to the Equipped for Life Podcast for another series of episodes, beginning with the topic, “It’s About Babies, Not Your Sex Life.” Stemming from real-life conversations, Monica and Josh identify many of the various factors that contribute to pro-choice perceptions or labeling of pro-life people as being “anti-sex” and then respond accordingly to each factor.
The Dynamic Duo also provides some fun commentary on the symbiotic relationship between Secular Pro-Life and Equal Rights Institute, and how the pro-life movement as a whole can benefit from similar relationships.
Finally, towards the end, Josh and Monica talk about how snark might be a good last-resort effort in a dialogue situation.
