The Pillar In-Depth

Maternity homes might be one of the best kept secrets of the pro-life movement in the United States. But with the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, it’s time more people knew about them.

This week on The Pillar In-Depth, Kate Olivera profiles a maternity home in Chicago and two women who have benefited from its service.

This week on The Pillar In-Depth, I talk with a longtime journalist and fact-checker about how we can separate fact from fiction when it comes to abortion-related content we see online.

Then, something I’ve seen a lot of in the wake of Dobbs are stories of doctors turning away women seeking care for miscarriages or ectopic pregnancies. I talk with a friend who experienced a miscarriage recently about her own experience, and the questions she has after the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Conversations about abortion have become so angry, especially with the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade. In this episode, I ask if it’s even possible to have a good conversation about abortion anymore? And what does a good conversation about abortion even look like?
