Summary
Abortion has been packaged and falsely marketed as a form of healthcare necessary for women's empowerment, while pro-life advocacy has been mislabeled as anti-woman. Dr. Christina Francis knows this reasoning is backwards, and she uses her voice to fight for the wellbeing of women and babies. Today, she does that as an OB-GYN and CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG). Dr. Francis works hard to inform women about the realities of chemical abortion as well as the lifesaving option of abortion pill reversal. This week, she talks about her journey of becoming a passionate pro-life advocate, the harms of chemical abortion, the progress of her lawsuit against the FDA, and how Christians can be thoroughly pro-life.
The Way of Medicine: Ethics and the Healing Profession by Dr. Fahr Curlin and Chris Tollefson
Secular culture has widely embraced the destructive ideas produced by Critical Theory. But these ideas have caused great cultural divisions and a loss of faith. Neil Shenvi and Pat Sawyer's latest book, Critical Dilemma, is a much-needed resource to help Christians understand Critical Theory in all its forms and respond with discernment, truth, and love.

| 0:00.0 | In the last few years, secular society has slipped into a critical theory mood, |
| 0:07.0 | where group categories like race, gender, and class determine who is right and who is wrong, about nearly everything. |
| 0:14.0 | These ideas have had devastating consequences. Christians must be informed about the ideas set forth by critical theory so that we can lovingly respond to them with biblical discernment and truth. |
| 0:26.9 | Neil Schenby and Pat Sawyer's latest book, Critical Dilemma, takes a look at critical theory in all its forms from a Christian worldview. |

| 1:08.5 | Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where we explore the beautifully diverse ways God invites and equips women to participate in his story. |
| 1:17.7 | We're here to encourage one another as we step out of the shallow definitions of what it means to be a woman and into the flourishing life that comes when we walk out our design. I'm so glad |
| 1:29.3 | you're here. Welcome back to the Strong Women Podcast, and I am honored to be sitting across the |
| 1:37.0 | table from my new friend, Dr. Christina Francis. In fact, her lawyer is also sitting in the room. |
| 1:43.3 | He's very nice. That sounded ominous, but he's just making sure we're on track, because as you'll find out, Christina is involved in a lawsuit right now. But that's coming. Hold on just a second. I want to tell you a little bit about her. She's an OBGYN doctor in Fort Wayne, Indiana. And she's a leader and speaker in the pro-life movement. |
| 2:02.6 | And you're going to find out that what I just said is not adequate enough to describe |
| 2:08.3 | how involved she is in the pro-life movement. She's the CEO of the American Association of |
| 2:15.2 | Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists. And I want you to tell us a little |
| 2:20.9 | bit about the lawsuit you're involved in because you're going to know the details better than me. |
| 2:26.1 | Yeah, absolutely. Well, first of all, Sarah, thank you so much for having me on this podcast. |
