Dear Jane

The redefinition of the family is not happening all at once.

It is happening one sentence at a time, buried inside 80-page bills that most lawmakers never fully read, drafted by legal bodies most people have never heard of, and framed as routine updates to reflect the modern reality of family life.

Patience Sunne, Engagement Director at Them Before Us, has been reading those bills. She joins Dear Jane to talk about what is actually in them: the removal of mother and father language from parentage laws, the legalization of surrogacy without a single background...

She was a nurse. She believed she was providing care and helping women. She had no idea what she was walking into.

Naomi Padilla spent four years inside a Tampa abortion clinic where, she says, surgical suites were wiped down with a household cleaner, women were processed like cattle, and the words baby and God weren't allowed to be spoken.

A woman who said she wasn't sure was still ushered through the abortion process.

A woman who called back, saying she was on the brink of taking her own life, received no emergency...

The New Jersey attorney general created a strike force to investigate pro-life pregnancy centers.

One of those centers received a subpoena demanding ten years of private donor records.

No complaints had been filed. No fraud had been alleged.

The case went all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled unanimously in the pregnancy center's favor.

Twenty-four hours later, the state found a way to keep fighting anyway.

That is just one case.

In New York and California, attorneys general are trying to silence pregnancy centers for...

What happens to the human embryos that are never chosen?

Emma Waters has spent years asking that question. A researcher at the Heritage Foundation and the author of the forthcoming book, Rethinking Fertility, she joins Dear Jane to talk about the 1.5 million frozen embryos currently in storage across the United States, human beings suspended in time, some for decades, and the fertility industry that created them with fragmented regulatory oversight.

Emma breaks down how genetic screening allows parents to test embryos for everything from Down syndrome to IQ, personality traits, and male pattern baldness, selecting...

What happens when you stop waiting for Washington to fix things and start building the solution yourself?

Anton Krecic left political fundraising convinced that policy alone wasn't enough to end abortion. So he started Seven Weeks Coffee, named after a question his wife asked: When is a baby the size of a coffee bean? The answer is at seven weeks, the same point when a heartbeat can often be detected on ultrasound. The mission followed naturally: give 10% of every sale to pregnancy care centers and build it unapologetically pro-life from day one.

Nearly $2 million in...

What if the reason most women choose abortion isn't because they want one, but because they don't feel like they have any other options?

Emily Berning of Let Them Live has seen it firsthand: when you remove the financial pressure, the isolation, and the panic, 98% of abortion-minded women choose life. Not because they were lectured or given platitudes, but because someone actually met their needs.

In this episode, Emily breaks down what a true funded alternative to abortion looks like: immediate support, mid-term stability, long-term independence. She makes the case that the pro-life movement can't...

Jesse Ridgway, known online as "McJuggerNuggets", recently shared that he and his wife aborted their unborn son after he was diagnosed with Trisomy 21, also known as Down syndrome.

The Ridgway's viral announcement sparked a much bigger conversation about abortion, disability, and the sinister role of eugenics in abortion decisions.

In this episode, we talk about why a Down syndrome diagnosis so often changes how parents decide the value of their child’s life. We also expose what happens when technology is used to identify genetic conditions before birth and abortion becomes the expected next step be...

Some commenters said unborn children have no more value than sperm. Others claimed no one is truly pro-abortion, abortion regret does not matter, and the abortion pill is safer than Tylenol.

This video dives into a candid and often intense abortion debate, exploring differing views on the value of unborn life and the concept of abortion as health care. We respond to some of the most revealing, frustrating, and widely repeated reactions to recent episodes, then turn to the growing debate over equal protection and whether pregnancy help centers could be affected by mandatory reporting laws.

Breanne Houston had an abortion at eighteen. Today she sits on the other side of the room, helping women in the exact moment she once lived. And she holds a view most people don't expect from someone with her story. She believes women who get abortions should be held liable.

In Part 2 of our equal protection series, Breanne joins Marcie and Scott to make her case, from the terminology people get wrong, to the line between pressure and coercion, to what it would actually mean to treat abortion the way we treat any other taking of life...

She's been through it herself and she doesn't believe women should be prosecuted for abortion. In this episode of Dear Jane, post-abortive advocate Victoria Robinson sits down with Scott and Marcie to debate why she believes criminalizing women misses the deeper realities behind abortion decisions.

Drawing from her own story and years of working with post-abortive women, Victoria unpacks the role of coercion, shame, guilt, and accountability in the abortion debate.

In this episode:

-Why Victoria opposes criminalizing women for abortion

-What coercion really looks like behind abortion decisions

What happens to infants who survive abortions? Is infanticide happening in America — and why is nobody talking about it?

Olivia Summer, Senior Litigation Counsel with the ACLJ, exposes the legal loopholes, redefined language, and blocked investigations that critics argue allow born-alive infants to die without consequence.

⚠️ To be clear: Infanticide is illegal in all 50 states. This episode examines whether legal changes are creating dangerous gaps that allow born-alive infants to die without investigation or consequence.

In this episode:

• What "infanticide" actually means and what it doesn't

• The difference between "comfort ca...

This week’s headlines are hard to ignore.

A newly released DOJ report is raising serious questions about how the FACE Act was used and whether pro-life Americans were unfairly targeted.

At the same time, troubling stories out of Canada show patients being encouraged toward euthanasia, even before receiving a full diagnosis.

Also, during a recent congressional hearing, one simple question about abortion stopped the conversation cold.

Scott and Marcie walk through these stories, what is being said, what is not, and why it all matters right now.

What happens when a politician invokes the Bible to defend abortion?

On this episode of Dear Jane, Scott and Marcie break down the escalating fight over the abortion pill in Washington and across the states. Congress is weighing major legislation to ban Mifepristone and give women harmed by the drug the right to sue the companies that sold it to them. Meanwhile, some states are moving in the opposite direction, trying to stockpile the abortion pill in anticipation of future restrictions.

With millions of women having taken Mifepristone since 2000, hundreds of thousands have reportedly been sent to emergency rooms, raising serious questions. The episode ends with a disturbing...

Grab your coffee because Scott and Marcie are catching you up on the pro-life headlines everyone’s talking about. First up: Puerto Rico just passed a law recognizing unborn babies as human beings… but abortion is still legal. So what does the law actually do?

Then they head north to New York, where lawmakers in this deep-blue state have introd...

In this episode, Nelly Roach, Founder and CEO of Choose Life Marketing, explains how Olive engages women at the exact moment they search for abortion online.

Everyone says the Trump administration was pro-life. But when you actually look at the policies on IVF, the abortion pill, and Planned Parenthood funding, the story gets uncomfortable fast. On today’s Dear Jane Podcast, Scott and Marcie break down what really happened—and ask the question many refuse to: Was the Trump administration protecting life… or quietly weakening it?

Should women be criminally punished for abortion?

Dear Jane is back for 2026, and Part 2 of this two-part conversation goes straight into one of the most uncomfortable debates inside the pro-life movement.
