Dear Jane

This podcast brings together pro-life leaders and individuals of all stripes to have meaningful conversations about the issue of life. How do we tackle the massive injustice of abortion while keeping the abortion-minded woman at the forefront of our considerations? How do we hold heartbreak, anger, and compassion close to our hearts to minister to everyone impacted by abortion? How do we work with others with whom we differ ideologically on every other issue except the issue of abortion to promote a culture of life? These are just some of the questions we wrestle with on our Dear Jane podcast. The other side only wants to highlight our differences, but we want to talk with people in the movement about what unites us. Dear Jane focuses on the one thing we can all agree on: the sanctity of every human life. Dear Jane will host the hard conversations, ask the tough questions, and acknowledge our differences while always keeping in mind our shared beliefs. Tune in to listen to heartfelt conversations and learn more about what your place in the pro-life movement may be!

  If We Can Treat Babies in the Womb, When Do Their Rights Begin?

  Oct 1, 202646 min

  William Lile, known as the Pro-Life Doc, joins Scott and Marcie to pull back the curtain on what modern fetal medicine can already do inside the womb. Botox. Open-heart surgery. Spina bifida repair. A dangerously fast heartbeat stopped for five seconds and reset. Even identical twins born 87 days apart. These are not abstract possibilities. They raise a more fundamental question: If medicine can diagnose, anesthetize, operate on, and heal a baby before birth, what does that mean for the way we define a patient? That question runs through the entire conversation, especially as Dr. Lile contrasts medicine aimed at treating and healing babies in the womb with training that teaches physicians how to perform late-term abortions and selective reductions. He also recounts the case of a 17-year-old in Louisiana whose father gave her abortion drugs without her knowledge, then explains the Abortion Pill Reversal Network (APRN) training nearly a thousand physicians and nurse practitioners. Dr. Lile and his wife even cover the $109 prescription when a woman seeks reversal. He also turns to the church. Of 120 pastors he addressed, only three said they had received formal instruction on how to speak about abortion alongside healing and forgiveness. Meanwhile, he cites an estimate that 18 to 24 percent of regular churchgoers have been personally involved with an abortion. If medicine can save a baby before birth, what does that say about the rights that baby should have?

  What Happens When Abortion Grief Stays Buried for Decades?

  Sep 24, 202639 min

  Infographic: WHAT TOOK 51 YEARS? WHY NAME THE BABY? CAN A NAME HEAL? WHAT STAYED BURIED? WHAT FINALLY SURFACED? Description: What if abortion grief does not surface until years later? Matt Freeman of Rachel’s Vineyard joins Scott and Marcie to talk about abortion healing and the buried, unresolved emotions that can remain long after abortion. Most people do not come to a retreat for four or five years. Some wait decades. The longest gap Matt has seen? 51 years. What can stay hidden for that long? And what finally forces it into the open? The conversation turns to raw grief, anger, self-medication, and long-carried pain that people may live with for years without ever connecting the dots. Then there are the men. The father who felt powerless. The partner who went along with it. The one who pressured her toward it. What are they carrying when they finally walk into a retreat? Matt also explains why some people may come too soon, how men grieving alongside women can change the room, and why the physical aftermath of the abortion pill can become part of the trauma itself. And then comes one of the most intimate and profound parts of the weekend. Each person is invited to give their child a name. For many, it is also the first time they have ever told their abortion story out loud. Why name the baby? And what happens when years of silence finally break?

  The Biggest Lie You’ll Ever Be Told About Abortion

  Sep 10, 202632 min

  What if the freedom abortion promises does not feel like freedom afterward? Shaun Freeborn of Tradies for Babies joins Scott and Marcie to talk about what he calls one of the biggest lies young couples are told: that abortion will let them keep living the life they want. For Shaun, that belief is personal. He and his wife had an abortion when they were 17. Years later, they still carry lasting regret and have turned that pain into a mission to help other men understand the role they can play when a woman is facing an abortion decision. Shaun also shares how Tradies for Babies grew from tradesmen and blue-collar workers speaking up online into a grassroots movement with videos coming in from around the world. For many of them, it is the first time they have had a public place to talk about abortion, responsibility, and even their own grief. The conversation also moves into abortion laws in Australia, the backlash men can face for speaking publicly, and why Shaun believes changing someone’s mind may require something more than the right argument. If abortion was supposed to help them move on with their lives, why is it the one decision they regret every day?

  Who Is Really Ordering the Abortion Pill?

  Aug 27, 202631 min

  An abortion pill can be ordered online and mailed across state lines. But what happens when the person ordering it isn’t the woman who takes it? Andrea Trudden, Vice President of Communications and Marketing at Heartbeat International, joins Scott and Marcie to discuss what the organization calls abortion pill poisoning: documented cases in which women have allegedly been given abortion drugs through force, coercion, or deception. Pills crushed into drinks. Orders placed using a woman’s identity. A doctor accused of poisoning his girlfriend. And a father charged with giving abortion drugs to his 17-year-old daughter at 23 weeks pregnant. Andrea also shares the story of Catherine Herring, whose now-ex-husband was convicted after secretly giving her abortion drugs and attempting to do so six more times. Heartbeat International now maintains a public tracker of these cases, documenting each through court records or local news reports. The abortion pill debate usually centers on access. But when these drugs are this easy to obtain, who is really getting them? Watch the full conversation on Dear Jane .

  What’s Changing Gen Z’s Mind on Abortion?

  Aug 20, 202628 min

  Gen Z has grown up surrounded by abortion messaging. So why are more young people beginning to question it? And why now? Lydia Taylor Davis, a spokesperson and Social Media Coordinator for Students for Life of America who once identified as pro-choice herself, joins Scott and Marcie to talk about what she is seeing firsthand on college campuses: young men becoming more engaged, young women proving harder to reach, and students reconsidering abortion after encountering arguments they had never heard before. But those conversations come at a cost. Lydia says she wears a bulletproof vest when she speaks on campuses and received threats after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Students for Life considered canceling its speaking tours. They didn’t. She also discusses what the pro-life movement gets wrong when speaking to women, why graphic abortion imagery can backfire, and why social media may be one of the most important battlegrounds left. All of these facts paint a picture and also raise an important question: what actually changes a person's mind about abortion? Watch the full conversation on Dear Jane.
