John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive into the latest news in the pro-life movement, starting with the aftermath of Right to Life of Central California's 37th Annual Christmas Dinner and Auction and the emotional tribute to Marianne Angelo. The conversation shifts to the political fight over the abortion pill Mifepristone, the slow-moving FDA review, and the Susan B. Anthony List's call to fire FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. John and Jonathan discuss whether the real issue lies with the commissioner—or with Donald Trump himself—and explore the broader challenges of the pro-life movement's standing within the conservative landscape. Plus, a detour into conspiracy theories, Candace Owens drama, and the generational divide in modern conservatism.

652: Killing People is Cheaper
In this episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi dives into the crisis facing pregnant women in Madera County, California. With Medi-Cal reimbursements so low that OBGYNs can't afford to accept patients, maternity wards are closing and home births are on the rise—leaving low-income women with fewer and riskier options. John breaks down how the expansion of Medi-Cal under Gavin Newsom has created an unsustainable system, why Planned Parenthood isn't helping these women, and the troubling reality that California's healthcare policies make abortion easier and cheaper than childbirth.

650: Kennedy and Casey
John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive into Justice Anthony Kennedy's new memoir and tear apart his legacy on the Supreme Court, focusing on his swing vote in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that preserved Roe v. Wade for three more decades. They explore Kennedy's obsession with "liberty," his lack of judicial philosophy, and the devastating cultural impact of his decisions. Along the way, the conversation expands into reflections on the fragility of human life, from childbirth to the end of life, and why our culture's approach to sex and marriage is so deeply disordered.
