Summary
Erika Bachiochi, a fellow at the Ethics in Public Policy Center and author of the book Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision, is a legal scholar who shares her insightful thoughts on pro-life ethics and femininity. When Erika was in college, she considered herself to be a socialist and feminist. While Erika's views have changed significantly over the years, she still calls herself a feminist, but now she is a pro-life feminist with a Christian worldview. Erika shares with us some of the history of feminism and abortion and how it affects what is going on in our world today.

| 0:45.9 | listeners just a little bit about why we're having Erica on other than that she is an awesome |
