That Auntie

Would you help your niece get an abortion if it meant losing your whole family?

This aunt did—and her mother told her she’s going to hell for it.

In this raw, honest episode, That Auntie crew unpacks a heartbreaking letter from an aunt who financially, emotionally, and physically supported her 21‑year‑old niece through an abortion—only to be cut off by her Pentecostal mom, rigid sister, and even the niece she tried to protect.

We dive deep into:

• Was the auntie wrong to help without telling the child’s mother or grandma?
• How religion, shame, and “hellbound” language damage real families
• A woman’s right to choose vs. family expectations
• The reality of being 21, in college, pregnant, and scared
• Adoption, foster care, and the trauma of carrying a baby you don’t want
• Spiritual perspectives, forgiveness, and what the Bible actually says about wisdom
• The history of women’s rights, suffrage, and how we even got a right to choose in the first place

If you’re an auntie, mama, grandma, or niece navigating:

• Abortion and pro‑choice vs. pro‑life tension
• Strict religious households and church guilt
• Setting boundaries with family while still loving them
• Being the “safe” adult kids come to with their deepest secrets

…this conversation is for you.

You’ll hear multiple perspectives: some aunties say she should’ve stayed out of it and gone to the mom; others say protecting her niece’s privacy and safety came first. Together, they explore what REAL support looks like when faith, family, and a woman’s body collide.

Stay to the end for a powerful breakdown on women’s rights, voting, and why men who can get Viagra covered by insurance still have power over women’s reproductive choices in 2025.

Watch, share, and use this episode as a convo starter with the women (and men) in your life. Your nieces, nephews, daughters, and sons need adults who can handle these hard talks.

Is it really "just a favor" if your friend is in a committed relationship?

The risks of blurring friendship lines—and possible fallout.

Cheaper alternatives to IVF and sperm banks, including unconventional (and eyebrow-raising) options.

Real stories about sperm donors and the long-term impact on families.

Why protecting valuable friendships (and keeping emotions in check) matters more than you think.

Don’t miss this honest and practical take on one of today’s most complicated dilemmas.
