Summary

On this episode of “The Kylee Cast,” Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, joins Federalist Managing Editor Kylee Griswold to discuss federal funding for Planned Parenthood — which is set to resume just in time for America's 250th birthday unless Republicans in Congress get off their keisters and defund it once again. Kylee and Kristan talk about the politics of the pro-life cause, other things the Trump administration should do to protect women and children, and the nasty contaminants in our drinking water thanks to rampant DIY chemical abortions (YUCK).
