On this week’s episode of Talking Catholic, hosts Kari Janisse and Mike Walsh welcome national pro-life speaker Jannique Stewart for a powerful and candid conversation following her recent presentation at Rowan University titled “Abortion: Is it a black and white moral issue, or is there a gray area?” Drawing from science, personal testimony, and years of experience speaking to high school and college students across the country, Stewart challenges common misconceptions about abortion and invites listeners to confront the issue with both truth and compassion.

The discussion explores why abortion is not merely a political or emotional debate, but a profound moral question rooted in the dignity of human life. Stewart shares formative moments from her upbringing in Germany, the influence of her grandmother’s Holocaust witness, and the experiences that shaped her vocation as a pro-life advocate. Together, the hosts and guest reflect on engaging young people in difficult conversations, the role of apologetics and science in moral reasoning, and the importance of speaking plainly while remaining pastoral—especially on secular college campuses.

The episode also addresses spiritual warfare, the power of language, and the deep wounds carried by those impacted by abortion, offering hope through mercy, forgiveness, and the healing grace of Christ. This thoughtful conversation invites listeners to move beyond slogans and soundbites and to consider why, when it comes to abortion, moral clarity truly matters.
