In this episode, your lovely hosts tackle the topic of abortion. They start out by discussing the latest Texas abortion ban and then circle back to the beginning of human history to track the legacy of abortions through time.  Once the history of abortion has been sufficiently addressed, they delve into what religious institutions have thought about it throughout time, the precise year that the Catholic Church decided to care, and what the actual scripture even says about it. Maggie's favourite phrase "woman box" makes an appearance, Theo gets to find out what the quickening is, and Bridget references a project she did for a class she flunked in high school.

We are taking a break this week on My Ex and My Future Wife! Practice some Sabbath along with us, and we'll see you next week for a very fun two-part episode!

In this episode, your fabulous hosts discuss the two genders, no wait The Two Towers (2002), no wait, the two types of women, Virgin and Whore. Accompany Maggie, Theo, and Bridget, as they figure out if liking milves is subversive, if being hungry is the same as being horny, and if Freud was right?? As always, Gay John and Sara Bareilles come up as they navigate virginity, the difference between Eve and Mary, and whether sex positivity can become a perpetuation of the same false dichotomy used to shame people for their sexualities.

In this “minisode” we discuss the term supersessionism. What does it mean? Where does it come from? How can Christians challenge this anti-Semitism that is deeply rooted within their religious tradition? Join us as we continue to explore all the complexities of “bridging the gap” between Christianity and Judaism.

So, we’ve talked about Loving our Neighbor, but how do we take that a step further and also try to love our enemy? How do we love people who perpetuate systems of oppression? What would Jesus say about restorative justice and prison abolition? What can we learn from the Dalai Lama? 
Join us as we discuss all these questions—and more—on this episode of My Ex and My Future Wife
