  “Can a 13-Year-Old Order Abortion Pills Online? An OB/GYN Went Undercover” with Dr. Christina Francis | Ep. 44

  Aug 19, 20261h 11mS1

  Can a 13-year-old order abortion pills online without anyone verifying her age, confirming her pregnancy, or speaking with her face-to-face? Dr. Christina Francis, a board-certified OB/GYN and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), decided to find out. She went undercover, posing as a 13-year-old with multiple serious medical risk factors, including severe anemia, an IUD, a history of ectopic pregnancy, multiple prior C-sections, and blood thinner use. According to Francis, despite the red flags, she was able to obtain abortion pills through the mail without an ID check or an in-person medical evaluation. What arrived four days later raised even more questions about medical oversight, informed consent, follow-up care, and what happens when complications occur. In this episode of Bioethics Babe, Dr. Francis takes us inside her undercover investigation and explains the medical risks women and girls may face, including hemorrhage, infection, incomplete abortion, and the danger of an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy. We also examine how easily abortion pills could potentially be obtained by abusers or traffickers, why Dr. Francis believes the current system falls short of genuine telemedicine and informed consent, and what she is calling on the FDA to do as it reviews the safety of mifepristone. How did we get to a point where powerful abortion drugs can be mailed with so little direct medical oversight, and what does that mean for the women and girls medicine is supposed to protect?

  “Is Caring for the Environment Actually a Pro-Life Issue?” with Clare Ath | Ep. 43

  Aug 12, 20261h 18mS1

  Has environmentalism become so politicized that Catholics have forgotten what the Church actually teaches? And here’s the bigger question: Is caring for the environment actually a pro-life issue? In this episode of Bioethics Babe , I sit down with Clare Ath, co-founder and president of Vita et Terra, to unpack a side of Catholic teaching that is often misunderstood, dismissed, or surrendered to politics. We explore why Catholics are called to care for creation, what Scripture really means when it gives humanity “dominion” over the earth, and why that does not mean domination. We also examine Laudato Si’ , integral ecology, human ecology, and the contributions of St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI to the Church’s environmental teaching. But this conversation goes far beyond theology and into practical effects. What happens when chemicals, plastics, pesticides, and other environmental toxins make their way into our food and water? What could environmental degradation mean for fertility, pregnancy, children, and future generations? And can we protect the natural world without embracing an environmental ideology that treats human beings as the problem? Clare makes the case that Catholics should reject the false choice between protecting human life and caring for creation. Authentic environmental stewardship begins with human dignity and recognizes that clean water, clean air, healthy communities, and responsible stewardship ultimately serve the human person. We also tackle consumerism, the technocratic mindset, environmental policy, subsidiarity, and practical ways families can care for creation without falling into partisan politics or nature worship. Can you be authentically pro-life while ignoring the world future generations will inherit? And have Catholics ceded the environmental conversation for too long? This is a conversation about reclaiming care for creation from politics and putting the human person back at its center.

  “Four Years After Roe Was Overturned: Did Dobbs Save Babies?” with Dr. Michael New | Ep. 42

  Aug 5, 20261h 3mS1

  Four years after Roe v. Wade was overturned, did Dobbs actually save babies? Many headlines claim abortions have increased, pro-life laws have failed, maternal deaths have risen, and women are receiving worse medical care. But does the data support those claims? In this evidence-driven conversation, Dr. Michael New, assistant professor at The Catholic University of America, Senior Associate Scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, and one of America's leading researchers on abortion policy, examines what has actually happened since the Supreme Court's 2022 Dobbs decision. We discuss: • Have pro-life laws saved babies? • Why abortion numbers alone don't tell the whole story • The rise of telehealth chemical abortions and mail-order abortion pills • New research on births in Texas, Florida, and other states • Infant mortality and maternal mortality after Dobbs • Are women receiving worse miscarriage care? • Are OB-GYNs leaving pro-life states? • What migration and public health data really shows • The biggest myths surrounding Dobbs • What the evidence says nearly four years later Whether you're pro-life, pro-choice, or simply looking for an honest examination of the evidence, this episode goes beyond headlines to explore what the data actually reveals.

  “When Your Baby Is Born With a Brain Injury: One Mother's Story of Hope” with Anja Baker | Ep. 41

  Jul 28, 20261h 29mS1

  When your child is born with a severe brain injury, how do you grieve the future you imagined while fully embracing the child in front of you? Where do you find hope when doctors, therapies, uncertainty, and endless medical decisions become your new normal? In this powerful episode of Bioethics Babe podcast, Arina Grossu Agnew sits down with Anja Baker—pro-life advocate, wife, mother of four, and disability parent—to share the remarkable story of her son, Hershey, who suffered a severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) brain injury at birth. Anja opens up about the heartbreak of receiving a devastating diagnosis, the realities of medical parenting, and how her family's faith, community, and supportive school helped them find hope and to "dream again." She also offers encouragement for parents navigating grief, disability, and life-altering diagnoses while challenging our culture's assumptions about human dignity and the value of every life. In this episode, we discuss: What HIE (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy) is and how it changed Hershey's life How parents can grieve while continuing to love and celebrate their child Why human dignity is never determined by ability, intelligence, independence, or any other characteristic The realities of raising a child with profound disabilities How parents become their child's strongest medical advocate Why faith, community, respite care, and support systems are essential How Harbor Day School gave Anja's family the "space to dream again" What hope looks like when circumstances are difficult Practical encouragement for families facing life-changing diagnoses Whether you're a parent, healthcare professional, pro-life advocate, or simply someone seeking a deeper understanding of disability and human dignity, this conversation will challenge, encourage, and inspire you.

  "Will AI Decide What Human Life Is Worth?" | Pope Leo XIV's Warning | Ep. 40

  Jul 22, 202649 minS1

  Artificial intelligence is transforming medicine, health care, education, scientific research, and nearly every aspect of modern life. But as AI becomes more powerful, one question rises above all the others: What does it mean to be human? In this episode of Bioethics Babe, Arina Grossu Agnew explores Pope Leo XIV's groundbreaking encyclical Magnifica Humanitas ("Magnificent Humanity") and examines how Catholics, and everyone concerned with human dignity, should think about artificial intelligence. Topics include: • Pope Leo XIV's vision for AI • Christian personalism and human dignity • AI in medicine and health care • Embryo grading, embryo ranking, & designer babies • Quality-of-life medicine & algorithmic bias • Catholic social teaching and AI ethics • How ordinary people can help shape the future of AI The stakes could not be higher. Technology should always remain the servant of humanity—not its master.
