Summary

Carl and Todd are joined by Ryan Anderson and Alexandra DeSanctis to discuss their book, Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Solves Nothing. Todd puts this exceptional book in the top three of all time on this critical issue. Now that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade and returned abortion law to the democratic process, Ryan and Alex reflect on our fifty-year experiment with unlimited abortion and argue that it has harmed everyone—even its most passionate proponents. Congratulations to Ken D. from Marietta, GA, the winner of a copy of Tearing Us Apart: How Abortion Harms Everything and Saves Nothing, thanks to the generosity of Regnery Press!

1:21.7	I believe we have fridge magnets or something with that.
1:24.2	Something like that, but I'm not a fellow.
1:27.1	No one will have me as a fellow.
1:28.9	Well, there are standards. How can I get on that bandwagon? Is there like, can I buy my way in
1:32.9	somewhere? No, you have to have talents and that could be black, black mark against you at
1:37.2	I mean, that's not going to happen. There is a very worrying rumor going around Grove City
1:41.0	campus at the moment, and this is true. I was approached by a student at this other day. Apparently, we do have a younger listenership. There are some guys
1:47.6	on campus who listen to us. I thought we just appeal to the bald and the disillusioned
1:52.4	like ourselves. But these guys have actually bought, believe it and all I believe, are going to
1:57.3	buy some of those Todd Pruitt endorsed muscle shirts with our logo on them.
2:03.8	So I can have the horrific vision of male armpit hair in my classes and connotations of you.
2:12.3	So very, very disturbing.
