335: Seth Gruber is back for a second time to finish up what we started last year in 2025, which was quite literally the most controversial podcast episode I have done to date, and for good reason. Abortion, both surgical and oral pill abortions, are performed daily across the USA and, sadly, the world, often without any informed consent about what an abortion can do to a woman's health. This information has been suppressed, and the studies, research, and real life stories from mothers have been suppressed. Today we get into who has financial ties to Planned Parenthood, why Big Pharma is pushing the abortion pill that is actually more dangerous than having a surgical abortion, as well as preterm labor complications linked to past abortions, and ultimately why and how women are simply not informed by their doctors and OBGYNs about the deadly complications for the women considering an abortion.

Whether you're on the right, the left, or somewhere in the middle, I can guarantee the information in today's episode will shock you, and you will be demanding more truth from your doctors and questioning what we have all been told for decades and the true agenda behind aborting babies despite women's health being at risk.

→ Episode 286 with Seth Gruber

Topics Discussed:

→ The abortion pill vs. surgical abortion

→ Breast cancer linked to past abortions

→ Studies that have been suppressed

→ Who funds Planned Parenthood

→ Why the health effects of miscarriages are not the same as those from abortions

→ When does a human become a human?

→ Baby parts in our drinking water

→ Playboy is linked to Planned Parenthood?!

→ How to save a baby after the abortion pill is taken

→ Preterm labor
