He Wanted His Baby. No One Cared About His Grief.


Listen Later

What happens when a father loses a child to abortion—but is told his grief doesn't matter?

Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse discusses the powerful story of Sean Corcoran, who was 19 when his girlfriend became pregnant. Sean wanted to care for their child, and his parents even offered to adopt the baby, but the abortion went forward. In the aftermath, he found little acknowledgment or support for his grief.
