Hi everyone and welcome to this new episode of the explicitly pro-life podcast.

I'm Kristen Hawkins.

Thanks for tuning in this week and thanks for subscribing.

Now, as you all know, we have entered into our official second season.

And this year, well, actually this season, so I'm going to go a whole year, but this season,

we're going to just talk about Pro Life 101, kind of an introduction to go a whole year, but this season, we're going to just talk about pro-life

101, kind of an introduction to the pro-life movement, an introduction to the issues, but this

isn't just something that's just for folks who are new to the pro-life movement.

You're going to be learning a lot of things that even if you've been in the pro-life

movement for decades that you didn't know before or maybe a better way of

talking about an issue. So today I actually have on a scientist. I have Dr. Katrina Firth.

She's a neuroscientist. She received her degree from Boston University. She's an adjunct teaching

professional at Catholic University. And she's also associated scholar with the Charlotte

Lozier Institute, the research arm of the Susan B. Anthony lists are good friends at the SVA

list.

So Katrina has spoken at the National Pro-Life Summit.

I've seen her around.

Actually, we've never met in person before, and we still kind of haven't.

We're on Skype today.

But Katrina, thanks for coming on to kind of help us with this episode of Pro Life 101

of how human beings develop and how they become persons.

Because I think, you know, we need a scientific response to this question that it often gets asked a lot on college campuses
