The Kate Cox in Texas story gives us cause to revisit the Dobbs abortion decision.

Join us for an intriguing UPDATE to Episode #4 (June, 2022). Discover the accuracy of our past predictions, especially about the social response to the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision.

Explore why divisive partisans create conditions where someone must be the loser, and why Republicans are the ones who are presently losing this debate. Then discover how we can create harmony without sacrificing happiness between good-willed people with differing values on this issue.

Stay tuned for the dramatic final third of this episode, where Jim begins by addressing anti-scientific statements on the pro-choice side but ends up sharing two very personal stories -- one of them, very personal.

When you listen to Gracearchy with Jim Babka, you learn things other people do not know yet.
