An extremely simple pro-life argument, Joe Heshmeyer is next.

Hello and welcome to Focus, the Catholic Answerist Podcast,

for living, understanding, and defending your Catholic faith.

I'm Psy Kellett, your host.

And we've been doing a lot of programming on pro-life issues,

and that has to do with the current situation in the United States,

where the Roe versus Wade decision might be overturned.

And a lot of that programming takes the form of,

here or there, you will find various media folks doing what we call obfuscation,

that is making an argument that's a pro-choice argument

that really kind of muddies the water rather than clarifies.

So we like to address those and have experts on who can debunk some of what is being said,

as far as the pro-choice position goes.

But that's not always the best strategy.

One good strategy for addressing lots and lots of confusing arguments being thrown up here

and there and everywhere is just to make the simplest and clearest pro-life argument

that you can. So we asked Joe Heshmeyer to come and do this.

I got to say Joe's in rare form in this episode.

Here's what Joe said when we asked him for the simplest argument for the pro-life position.

Joe Heshmeyer, author of the early church was the Catholic church.

Thanks for being with us.

I'm happy to be here.
