Politely Rude With Abby Johnson

From Rock Bottom to Redemption: Reg Platt on Addiction, Men’s Healing After Abortion, and Faith


Listen Later

In this powerful episode Reg Platt sits down in studio with Abby Johnson to tell a life story that's equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful. He recounts his descent into heavy drinking and cocaine use, the guilt and shame after an abortion in 1976, a suicide attempt, experiments with black magic, and ultimately a dramatic spiritual turnaround that led to decades of marriage and pro-life ministry.

Along the way Reg reflects on how men are often overlooked in post-abortion healing, why “supporting her choice” can be a cop-out, and how programs like Rachel’s Vineyard and Project Joseph helped him find real restoration. Honest, vulnerable, and at times uncomfortable — this episode lifts the lid on topics men rarely discuss in public.
