E80: The Spark of Life - Abortion, Science, and Responsibility

Host Edgar Mills explores abortion through history, science, and culture, tracing the issue from Margaret Sanger and early laws to Roe v. Wade and recent policy changes. The episode examines embryology (the “zinc spark” and fertilization), statistical patterns and racial disparities, common reasons women seek abortions, and alternatives such as adoption. Mills argues for consistent application of scientific evidence, greater personal and parental accountability, and clearer, more compassionate public conversations about new human life.
