Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Antisapologist and Speaker, Trent Horn.

Today, I want to talk about Lila Rose's recent appearance on the Dr. Phil show, where she

debated Dr. Phil and other guests and members of the audience on the issue of abortion.

Right out the gate, I want to say that Lila did a really good job.

She's a very gifted pro-life apologist.

She has an understanding of media and sound bites.

Now, we need a lot more young pro-life apologist, especially women, being able to go out in

public to make this case.

So she did a great job.

What I want to do here is I just want to comment on it, point out what's going on, give

other people tips for if they find themselves, maybe not on Dr. Phil, but who knows, or just

in conversations with other people, how to navigate this issue.

Now, when I do talk about this, I want to be clear when I'm not offering any harsh criticisms

of Lila, I think she did a really good job.

But I might say there's other points she might have been able to bring up or other avenues

that might have been more effective, but I don't want that to take away from the fact

she did a good job.

This is really hard.

As someone who has done debates, who has been in the hot seat, it's very easy for other

people to say, oh, well, you should have done this or you should have done that.
