Episode Description from the Publisher

TW: This episode discusses abortion, rape, and infant/maternal deathOh boy, on this episode we are really getting into it as we discuss the current abortion policies across the US. We tackle the history of the LDS Church’s policy on abortion, the rise of maternal and infant deaths after the fall of Roe v. Wade, and how restrictive abortion laws in many states violate the religious freedom of Latter-day Saints as well as other religious groups.About the hosts:Brad, a PhD bioethicist and medical school professor and Calli, a PhD candidate in bioethics and genetics data analyst, explore the world of bioethics through the lens of LDS theology and faith. As life-long active members of the LDS Church, and some of the few bioethicists that are part of the faith, they hope to bridge the unique teachings and doctrines of the LDS Church with some of the most controversial topics of our time. The opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the presenters and do not represent the views of their employers or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  Music: Alan Hawkshaw    / alan hawkshaw - topic
