A surrogate baby was saved after the woman refused to abort him because of a heart condition. Now, the intended parents are suing her for $100,000.

McKenna West was carrying a baby as a surrogate when she learned he had a serious—but treatable—heart defect. The intended parents asked her to have an abortion, but McKenna couldn't go through with it. She fled to Texas to protect him.

Baby Gabriel was born on August 12 and has already undergone his first life-saving surgery. But he still has two more surgeries ahead of him. Meanwhile, McKenna is fighting a custody battle and a $100,000 lawsuit for allegedly breaking her surrogacy contract by refusing to abort the baby.

What does this heartbreaking case reveal about the dangers of commercial surrogacy? What happens when a human life becomes the subject of a contract? And what can Christians learn from the story of King Solomon and the two women who claimed the same baby?

On today's episode, Brent, Kim, and Michaella discuss McKenna's courageous decision to protect Baby Gabriel, the troubling questions surrounding surrogacy, and why Texas lawmakers may need to take action to protect mothers and children.

Please pray for Baby Gabriel, his health and upcoming surgeries, McKenna, and everyone involved in this case.

People Magazine recently published a list of more than 60 celebrities who have publicly shared their abortion stories. The article claims these stories can help erase abortion stigma—but when we actually read what many of these celebrities said, we found something very different.

In this episode of the Pro-Life Podcast, we unpack People Magazine’s list, talk about what these stories reveal about the culture surrounding abortion, and discuss how we can respond with compassion instead of simply telling women that abortion is their only option.

We also discuss New York’s new physician-assisted suicide law and the slippery slope of euthanasia.

Is abortion really necessary for women to achieve success?

In this episode of the Pro-Life Podcast, we debunk the argument that women need abortion to get ahead in their careers, education, and personal lives.

Instead of changing women and erasing pregnancy to fit an inflexible culture, we say our culture should do more to support mothers.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Stevie Nicks' abortion comments and the cultural response

- The claim that abortion is necessary for women's success

- Research on abortion and women's well-being

- What philosophers teach about happiness and human flourishing

- Why motherhood develops unique virtues

Republican voters are finally talking about surrogacy—but not for the reason you think...

After a recent Supreme Court ruling sparked new concerns about birthright citizenship, many conservatives began questioning the security threats international surrogacy brings. But the real dangers go far beyond immigration.

Whether you've never thought about surrogacy before or have followed the issue for years, this episode dives into the ethical, legal, and human costs.

What do you think? Should Texas ban commercial surrogacy—or all surrogacy? Let us know in the comments.

This week, we're celebrating our nation's birthday and an incredible miracle.

Two-year-old Annelise Camp nearly drowned on Memorial Day. Soon after arriving at the hospital, doctors said they wanted to stop treatment and sought to declare her brain dead. Refusing to give up on their daughter, they connected with Texas Right to Life for help.

After weeks of legal battles, a transfer to another hospital, and countless prayers from people across the country, Annelise is alive—and improving.

In this episode, we discuss what "brain death" really means and why we need better laws to protect patients.
