This week we tackle the growing clash between technology, ethics, and children's rights. First, we break down President Trump’s executive order expanding IVF access—what does it really mean for the tiniest humans created in labs? We explore why the IVF industry, as currently practiced, is incompatible with a pro-life, pro-child ethic and what a truly pro-family approach to fertility should look like.  Next, we examine the controversy surrounding Elon Musk, Ashley St. Clair, and the conservative response to their unconventional family structure. And we take on tough listener questions about raising kids with traditional values in a progressive culture.  Join us for a powerful discussion that refuses to trade truth for convenience.
