Josh stumbled upon a pro-choice Reddit thread reacting to Tim’s Autumn in the Sovereign Zone article and decided to get Tim and Rachel’s spontaneous responses live on the podcast.
Afterward, they talk about how to respond to people who say that it’s only wrong to take Thalidomide if the mother is going to have an abortion anyway because then they’re not really causing suffering to this “potential person.”

Josh, Tim, and Rachel respond to a pro-choice video on illegal abortions in El Salvador. Click here to watch the pro-choice video we’re responding to.
The show begins with a discussion of our favorite Pixar movies. If you want to get straight to the main topic, you can skip to 10:23 in the episode.
Apologies for occasional wonky audio in this episode. We were playing around with some new post-production techniques that, once dialed in, will improve the audio quality of the podcast. But not everything is totally dialed in yet, so this episode has some occasional mic bleed. Thankfully, we were able to mix most of it out.

In this episode Tim gives a fuller explanation of the argument Josh presented in the course about avoiding burden of proof shifts, and responds to likely counter-arguments. For example, doesn’t the dialogue style Tim is teaching allow the pro-choice person to have too much of an advantage, or allow them to take too much control of the conversation?

Rachel shares what happened on her recent speaking and outreach tour in Oregon and Pennsylvania, which leads into a quick impromptu discussion on which people are best to invest the most energy into talking to during outreach, the hardcore pro-choice people or people in the middle.
Then the team responds to listener mail:
- 22:14: “Why do you sometimes describe your view that embryos are persons as a ‘really weird view’? Is this disingenuous?”
- 27:41: “How do you respond to overpopulation?”
- 35:25: “How do you respond to people who are pro-choice because they believe in reincarnation, therefore abortion is no big deal because the babies are just reincarnated somewhere else?”
- 45:12: “I have a problem with sarcasm. Do you have any tips for me?”
Email us at [email protected] to share your weirdest pro-choice arguments you’ve heard! We’d love to cover them in a future episode.
The audio is a little wonky in this episode. We got some new microphone processors that should improve the audio quality, but when we went to edit we realized that we didn’t have all the settings dialed in quite right, so there was a lot of us bleeding into each other’s mics. We made it a lot better through mixing, but it’s still not great. We should have this working better next episode.

Rachel interviews Lori Navrodtzke, a PRC counselor and Justice For All volunteer, about how to dialogue with people about abortion if they’ve already had one.
Topics Covered:
- What is in a post-abortive woman’s mind when she approaches a pro-life outreach table on campus?
- What are some signals that pro-life advocates should keep an eye out for, that might be a clue that they’re talking to a post-abortive woman?
- Are there things we should not say or directly ask?
- How should you proceed if you ask someone if they’ve had an abortion and they say no, but you think that they’re not being honest about that?
- A reminder that some post-abortive women don’t regret abortion, at least not yet.
- If they do disclose their abortion history, what sorts of things should we be doing, especially for those of us who aren’t trained counselors?
