Abortion

In Evangelical homes across the United States, sex outside of marriage is a sin against God. So, when Abbi becomes pregnant at 16, her devout parents hide her away at the Liberty Godparent Home, a little-known facility for pregnant teens on the campus of Liberty University. The Home says it helps girls decide what comes next – whether that’s parenting their babies or placing them for adoption. But... more

  • Very well done!

    TJ, this was an excellent and eye-opening series. I really enjoyed it and was hooked, with often a facial expression of “holy smokes”. Great job! Learned about this from the American Scandal on Georgia Tan.

  • Should've been 4 Eps

    Started out really good and compelling (listening on 1.5 speed bc omg painfully slow). But then it dragged on. Abbi started to become a lot less likable, which I'm sure was not the goal! Also, I found myself yelling "abort" over and over again. Ladies: you'll save yourself a lifetime of heartache by just taking care of it!

  • Better to abort than adopt

    So sad to hear a woman say a woman is better off by having an abortion than to let her child live

    I’m sure if you were to ask the young man his opinion he would say he is happy he got to live

    Despicable outlook on tiny humans

    Sad that this woman story was hijacked for the abortion movement

  • Must listen!!

    I’ve never been so infuriated and enraged by a podcast. It’s unbelievable that this has not only been allowed in the past but continues and is growing. This is what happens when religious extremism and capitalism combine to ruin kids lives and especially girls. This should be on everyone’s playlist. As a mom my heart shattered for Abby. And those adoptive parent are NOT innocent in this. They are adults knowingly and willfully manipulating these girls. Those babies will grow up to learn the trut... more
