In Jordan Peterson's interview with Sarah Hill about her book, This is Your Brain on Birth Control , he suggests that what the pill is doing in essence is to change women into men. He calls it “the biggest biological transformation in our species’ history.” In many ways, Dr. Hill is a champion of the birth control pill, but what she has to say about its dangers well may shock you. This is a public...

The state of Alabama found itself in hot water after its supreme court declared that all human embryos would be recognized under the law—including those cryogenically stored in fertility clinic vaults. Donald Trump has since insisted that legislators must make allowances for the "miracle" of IVF. But for anyone who opposes abortion, on what grounds could they actually do this? This is a public epi...

Have you ever considered that Planned Parenthood destroys parenthood under the banner of Parenthood? Pretty devious, right? As America's largest abortion provider, by a mile, wouldn't Planned Abortion be more appropriate? And what would their website look like if they decided to say the quiet parts out loud? It's time to find out. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with ot...

Taylor Swift's music is hard to resist. It's little wonder that she's Spotify’s most-played artist and Time magazine’s Person of the Year. And now the Taylor Swift Super Bowl is upon us! But America's darling has also become increasingly political and increasingly partisan—which is why the Democrats have, according to Forbes , pinned Joe Biden’s reelection hopes on two things: Taylor Swift and abo...

The federal legalization of abortion in 1973 led to the largest one-year abortion increase in American history. Outlawing abortion in 2022, even in just a fraction of states, led to the largest one-year abortion decrease in American history. That's worth considering. This is a public episode.

In the aftermath of Hamas' brutal attack on Israel, in which close to 900 innocent civilians were killed—including women and children—one uncomfortable fact remains. Israel itself kills twice as many Jewish children each day as Hamas did on October 7. Does that mean anything? Existentially? Or does the God of Jacob no longer care about child sacrifice? This is a public episode. If you would like t...

Alex Berenson points out that in post-Roe America, abortion has become a real problem for Republicans. And an apparent boon for Democrats. He suggests that unless Republicans move on from this toxic issue, the Democrats are going to continue running the country into the ground. But is he right? This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonu...

The ACLU has made abortion rights and transgender rights its top two policy priorities and has partnered with Planned Parenthood to craft state constitutional amendments which would guarantee the right to abortion without respect to age. The ACLU also recently published a 34-page brief calling for the total decriminalization of sex work—including sex work for minors. Is it possible that the legali...

When you hear the assertion that abortion is gay, do you consider that a positive or a negative? And why? Though it’s not my general habit to lump these issues together, we’re going to hazard the exercise for at least one episode—in case mere opposition to abortion isn’t controversial enough. It’s not that I’m a glutton for punishment, but sometimes things need to be said. Answers must be given. A...

The admonition to store up treasure in heaven is a familiar one. But what does that mean exactly? Chances are, it doesn't mean what you think it does. So here's the case for a rather unconventional retirement strategy—based on spending all of your money. This is a public episode.

Something interesting is happening in the world of killer comics. Bill Burr, Louis C.K., Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle seem to all have recognized the same thing about abortion. Perhaps it's time we started listening to them. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit abort73.substack.com

In the aftermath of last week's fatal shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville, pundits are again decrying the violence and looking for explanations. Most of the resulting commentary is predictable and uninspiring. If you want to know what has fundamentally changed in America since the rise of school shooting violence, here's a teaser. It's not the guns. This is a public episode. If you would...

When C.S. Lewis first published The Screwtape Letters in 1942, legal abortion was still decades away—though it’s not hard to imagine how Screwtape and his cadre of demonic tempters would have salivated at the prospect. But why would such a rascally devil throw his weight behind something as urbane as celibacy? That is precisely what this five-letter narrative sets out to demonstrate. This is a pub...

What if Jordan Peterson's world-beating 12 Rules for Life were applied to the issue of abortion? What could stopping to pet a cat or leaving kids alone to skateboard have to teach us about the treatment of unborn humans? A lot, actually. This 90-minute lecture turns each of Peterson's 12 Rules (for Life!) into a mandate for protecting the lives of the most innocent and helpless members of the huma...

The CDC won't release their 2021 abortion numbers until the end of the year, but we needn't wait that long for a reliable nationwide total. Based on state abortion numbers from 33 states, it's possible to extrapolate a U.S. total for 2021—which we've done. The results, unfortunately, are not what we would have liked. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscriber...

It's hard to imagine anyone reading Brave New World and concluding that the future it portrays is a good or healthy one. And yet virtually all of its individual parts are things we've come to celebrate in our own world today. Perhaps that's because so few of us have actually read this dystopian classic—so we can't recognize the pending threats. This episode identifies one of those threats for you....

A discussion of the lawsuit brought by Mario Villegas against the Arizona doctors who intentionally killed his child. The caveat: his baby was a 6-week embryo at the time of death, killed via medical abortion. Villegas' contention is that the abortion clinic did not properly disclose state-mandated information prior to the abortion, but the bigger question relates to a father's right—or lack there...

The Left likes to claim that those who oppose abortion are trying to force their religious beliefs on the rest of the country—but this is mere projection. It is the Left who clouds the abortion debate with metaphysical arguments that subvert the normal scientific process. The biology is clear: abortion kills an unborn human being. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with ot...

Despite public feuds and ideological divisions, the world’s richest men are united in their financial devotion to abortion. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised.

A discussion of the incongruous intersect between animal rights and abortion rights. The problem is this. As animal rights activists have pushed the definition of person out further and further, they’ve entirely skipped over unborn children. Chicken eggs are sacrosanct, but human embryos are deemed disposable. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or ge...

As the abortion ratio rose in 2020 for most of the country, it fell dramatically in South Dakota and Oklahoma. Buy why?

And what does it tell us about a post- Roe America? This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with othe...
