Dear Jane

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? Is this an incremental win worth celebrating, or a symbolic step that changes very little? Scott and Marcie break down what it means, why some are calling it progress, and why others aren’t so sure.

Then they head north to New York, where lawmakers in this deep-blue state have introduced a slate of bills that will make your head spin. From targeting pregnancy help centers (again), to shielding abortion data from insurance oversight, and eliminating state-sponsored travel to pro-life states, these proposals raise serious questions about transparency and just how far abortion extremism is driving public policy.

When USA Today published a critical feature on Olive, the first pro-life AI chatbot, it signaled something bigger than media skepticism. It signaled impact.

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. Instead of being funneled exclusively toward abortion providers, women encounter immediate, private, life-affirming support and direct connection to local pregnancy centers.

This conversation covers:

• How abortion-related search traffic shapes decisions

• Why AI matters in digital abortion outreach

• What early engagement data is revealing

• How pregnancy centers can compete in a search-driven culture

• The ethical debate surrounding pro-life technology

Abortion is no longer only a legal or political fight. It is a digital one. Search engines, online ads, and AI-driven tools influence outcomes long before a woman walks into a clinic.

Olive was built to operate in that space with precision and scale. If you care about pro-life strategy, digital marketing, pregnancy center growth, and the future of life-affirming outreach, this episode is essential.

Why does abortion stay so deeply rooted in our culture? It’s not just politics or emotions—it’s worldviews. In this episode, pro-life speaker Megan Almon from Stand to Reason joins Scott and Marcie to explore abortion as a worldview issue, shaping everything from IVF and surrogacy to practical pro-life arguments.

Stick around as Scott puts AI to the test. Can ChatGPT guess his worldview? Insightful, thought-provoking, and a must-watch for anyone wanting to understand the bigger picture behind life issues.

60% of women say they would have chosen life if they had more emotional or financial support. So what happens when that support actually exists?

In this episode of Dear Jane, Scott and Marcie sit down with Karen Czarnecki, Executive Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, to unpack the findings of the National Pregnancy Center Report.

We discuss:

• How pregnancy centers measure real impact

• What services women are actually receiving

• How centers maintain integrity and transparency

• The role they play in communities nationwide

The conversation goes beyond headlines and into data, stories, and measurable outcomes. If support changes decisions, this episode matters.

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? Fair warning: the facts don’t land where you expect. #prolifenews

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. Hosts Scott and Marcie sit down with Clark Forsythe of Americans United for Life to unpack why holding women legally responsible isn’t as simple—or as effective—as some think.

They talk honestly about what’s changed in a post–abortion pill world, why self-managed abortions complicate everything, and which laws actually reduce abortion versus the ones that sound strong but miss the mark. This isn’t theory. It’s history, law, and real-world consequences—all on the table.

If you’ve ever wondered where accountability should land, how women are truly impacted, or where the movement goes from here… this episode is for you.
