Recorded in late 2022, Monica Snyder from Secular Pro-Life joined Josh to film a few episodes on what the pro-life movement should be doing right now. It took us a while to get back to regular podcast editing due to a TON of travel, but everything they said is still relevant.
The discussion includes:
– What do we mean when we use the term “pro-life movement” in this particular discussion?
– Lots of ideas for things that pro-life people can do to fight abortion.
– 4 “unforced errors” Josh is warning pro-lifers to avoid.
– Choosing our terms carefully depending on the context.

Note: Monica referenced Amazon Smile which was recently discontinued, because we filmed this late last year.
The 2022 Abortion Referenda: Responding to Pro-Life Setbacks
by
Now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, states can once again legislate directly on abortion. Following the Dobbs v. Jackson decision, laws restricting or upholding abortion access triggered in several states. More legislation and legal battles across the country followed soon after.
Partisans on both sides of the abortion debate recognize that legislation can be changed and is not enough to provide a permanent resolution. Accordingly, they turned to state constitutional amendments to establish whether or not there is a right to abortion in each state’s constitution. Establishing a right to abortion in a state constitution does the same thing as the Roe decision—invalidates all laws restricting abortion and prevents future ones from coming into effect. Amendments that reject a constitutional right to abortion are more limited: they essentially tell the state supreme court that it can’t issue a Roe-like decision and find a right to abortion, but they don’t change any existing laws or prevent abortion-friendly laws from being passed.

The discussion includes:
– The five state amendments the pro-life movement lost in the midterms, and why we lost them.
– Does the CA amendment actually mean that infanticide is being legalized?
– Where is the American public on abortion? What do we know?
– The difference between how Josh and Monica reacted to the Dobbs decision.

Editor’s note: There’s a little electrical hum noise in one of the microphones that we didn’t catch that day because we haven’t had that issue before and decided to record without headphones. Oops! Won’t make that mistake again. We’ve minimized it as much as possible, but there’s no way to totally take it out. Sorry about that.
