Lois McLatchie-Miller is a Senior Legal Communications Officer for the Alliance For Defending Freedom International. Lois is a writer, speaker, and thinker on issues of bioethics, faith, family and freedom.
In this conversation, Lois and I think out loud about abortion, how prevalent it is and how it became so prevalent, the methods used, changing cultural perceptions, why the emotional impacts on women are so high, how men can think about it, the political landscape surrounding abortion, how there are generational differences in attitudes towards abortion, what a post-Christian Britain means for societal views on abortion, why the Barbie film might have been more traditional in tone rather than a longing for feminist utopia that it was perceived as, Lois' changing views on the birth control pill, and much much more.
This is a difficult conversation, which contains graphic medical descriptions of the various means abortions.
