Summary
For this week's episode, we have special guest John Burtka, President of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, joining us to discuss free speech on college campuses. Ann starts off by reminding us all that the 10 year anniversary of Kermit Gosnell is coming up. Although Gosnell has been given his sentencing and justice has been served, there is always work to be done in the pro-life movement. Listen as Ann has some very important news regarding the anniversary, which you can revisit the event information on our website. Next, we get into Ann’s interview with John Burtka and how free speech is being targeted on college campuses. John had a very interesting experience hosting one of his famous debates at the University of Pittsburgh, so you won’t want to miss out on this!
