  • S3E2 - Valuing Life From Birth to Death: What Are the Principles of the Consistent Life Ethic?

    Our guest in this episode is Herb Geraghty, Executive Director of Rehumanize International. He and Scott talk about his work with Rehumanize International, what it's like to be an atheist in the pro-life movement, and how he helps people understand that abortion is not about women's health or health care.

    You can read more about Herb and his work: Rehumanize Website: Rehumanize International, Rehumanize on Facebook, Rehumanize on Instagram, Rehumanize on Twitter, Rehumanize on YouTube, and Herb's Twitter.

    Herb joined the Rehumanize team in 2016 as a summer intern while studying rhetoric and politics at the University of Pittsburgh and has been working in some capacity for the organization since then. When the founder stepped down in 2020, the Board of Directors chose Herb to fill the role of Executive Director.

    Throughout the years, Herb’s unique position as a politically independent pro-life atheist has broken down barriers to reach demographics often untapped by the mainstream pro-life movement. Similarly, Herb’s common ground on the abortion issue with many folks on the political right has enabled productive outreach on the issues of war, torture, and the death penalty.

    Herb is a passionate and engaging advocate for the Consistent Life Ethic who has a passion for building bridges and finding common ground with people across the political spectrum to call everyone to greater consistency in the fight for human rights.

NWH provides a location where pro-life PA students, nursing students, and medical students can do clinical rotations to understand how to practice as a 100% pro-life medical provider.
