Summary

Dr. Gillian Frank explores the legal and religious challenges faced by Lisa Sobel and two other Jewish women in their lawsuit against Kentucky's abortion laws. The episode delves into the trigger law that immediately banned abortions in Kentucky, even in cases of rape or incest. Lisas pregnancy journey highlights the conflict between Kentucky's abortion policies and Jewish religious beliefs, particularly focusing on the impact on in vitro fertilization. Historical context is provided on the longstanding involvement of Jewish and mainline Protestant leaders in advocating for reproductive rights. The episode underscores the continuous efforts by people of faith in Kentucky to preserve reproductive freedom amidst rising Christian nationalism.
