Hi, everyone. I'm Kristen Hawkins, and welcome to this very special live episode of the explicitly pro-life podcast. We are here on Capitol Hill, just steps away from the Supreme Court. I just came in from outside,

from standing outside since 6 a.m. I'm so excited to be sitting here and talking to you. I

My feet are still frozen.

So hopefully sometime during this podcast, they will thaw out.

But, you know, this is a real hard ask to come and sit in a nice warm instead of being out there.

So I have a few minutes with you before you have to head off.

But I wanted to get your thoughts of where you see us

headed. I was doing NBC, ABC, USA, all the big, you know, networks today, and the question I got from a lot of

them was, where is this headed? You know, where is our nation headed culturally and politically on the issue of
