We're joined by Adam "Ray Ray" Cochrun from the "TAG You're It!" Podcast, who is also a member of the AAMO executive board, to discuss the other bills regarding abortion in the Missouri House and Senate.
Adam has done the time-consumptive work of going through the various bills in our congress and boiling their main problems down for us.

This will be exceptionally helpful for the work of abolition as we need to always know what those who oppose abolition are working toward.

   We're joined by Joshua Jenkins, Kevan Myers, and Stephan Albin to discuss what it looks like to lead local churches in the fight for abolition.

Please continue to like, subscribe, but most importantly - share this podcast so that we can reach more people with the important message of abolition.

We're joined by Wes Scroggins and State Senator Mike Moon to discuss SB356 and how you can help us fight to see abortion abolished.

Our Website - https://abolishabortionmo.org/

The process for the Bill to pass into law:
1. It must be referred to committee
2. The chairman of the committee must "hear it"
3. It must then be voted "out" of committee
4. It must go to the senate floor for discussion and debate

We need help at each stage - to start, contact Senator Caleb Rowden and ask him to assign the bill to committee
Caleb Rowden's phone # - 573-751-3931

Also, to encourage Senator Moon, you can call you email him @ the following:
Phone - 573-751-1480
Email - [email protected]

Make it your New Year's Resolution to be more involved in the fight against abortion, and especially to pray for Senator Moon and his supporters, and for SB356 to pass!

We're joined by Wes Scroggins and Violet Stephens - Violet helps to educate us on a recent story about a hospital in Missouri that supposedly refused needed medical care (during an emergency) to a pregnant woman. Specifically, the hospital is being investigated because they refused to abort the baby.

Our Website: https://abolishabortionmo.org/

Show Notes:
An Article on Expectant Management
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15254557/

Article on "Neonatal survival after prolonged preterm premature rupture of membranes before 24 weeks"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25437729/

A Very Biased Article on "Maternal morbidity after preterm premature rupture of membranes at <24 weeks"
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34736914/
- Here's a note from Violet on this particular article: "I want to emphasize that the conclusion was that 15% of women walked away with a live baby and no morbidity. But if you look at what was included in morbidity, they were including things like repair of lacerations and readmission to a hospital within 6 weeks. That's downright misleading, as a lot of women delivering babies have lacerations requiring a repair.
The other glaring omission was that when compared to women who chose termination - 0% walked away with no morbidity and a live baby. I guess they just thought it went without saying.

We're joined by Wes Scroggins to review the November 8th Election and to ask "what does this mean for Abolition's prospects this legislative session?"

We're joined by Joshua Jenkins and Kevan Myers to discuss the subject of "single-issue voting" and why it's a must for abolitionists. Though we have some important clarifications to make along the way as well.

Most importantly, we see to answer questions regarding how saying this affects liberty of conscience, weighing the pros and cons of candidates, and political offices that don't have much to do with the issue of abortion.

Joshua and Kevan hit this one out of the park with their wisdom and nuance, while still presenting the truth in clear ways.
