Challenging deceptive language around abortion, Stephanie Gray-Connors is next.

0:09.1

Hello and welcome to Focus the Catholic Answers Podcast for living,

0:12.4

understanding and defending your Catholic faith. In the coming year, expect lots and lots of

0:18.5

conversation, debate, arguing, fighting, and even a good deal of deception around abortion,

0:24.5

because here in the United States, the Supreme Court has taken up an important abortion case,

0:28.2

and there's all this question about, are they intending to overturn Roe v. Wade or not? So both

0:33.4

sides will do their best to have their say, well, we all await that decision of the Supreme Court.

1:24.4

but it's also, it accomplishes, let's put it this way, it accomplishes those ends, I would say,

1:29.3

by being deceptive. Here's what Stephanie Gray-Connors had to say about it.

1:38.9

Stephanie Gray-Connors, thank you very much for joining us on Focus.

1:42.6

Thanks for having me on.

1:44.6

We're kind of anticipating a year of more intense conversation about Roe v. Wade this year,

1:50.0

because the Supreme Court has taken a case that seems like it might have grave implications

1:57.5

there. So we're expecting a lot of public debate. Are you expecting the same this year?
