A monthly podcast release on the first of each month, covering varying topics that fall under the category of respecting human life.

Bob talks with Ann Poirier, mother of a child with Down Syndrome and board member of Gigi’s Playhouse in Cincinnati about having a child with Down Syndrome, and how to better educate the public so that people do not consider abortion to be a solution to knowing your child will have Down Syndrome.
Bob talks with Ohio Representative Adam Mathews about HB324, the Patient Protection Act, which requires in-person visits with a provider before and after receiving medication, if that medication has a 5% or greater likelihood of serious side effects such as organ failure, hemorrhaging and death. This law would require in-person as well as follow-up visits for the safety of women taking the abortion pill.
