Today, live from Selma, Alabama, we have guests who will give us the experience interview of the pro-life Juneteenth Rally and March on the Edmund Pettus Bridge.  TLFR co-host Thomas, along with Celeste Claverie, and Babette Holder from The Last Civil Right will be on to share about their attendance and the purpose of the march.  Using the historical bridge as the backdrop, pro-life/civil rights leaders such as Alveda King and Catherine Davis will be calling for the closure of Alabama's illegal abortion mill run by Samuel Lett.  

Plus, the news of the day includes controversy over how to correctly label shooter Dylan Storm Roof, the young man who entered Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and killed nine persons.  Was he a terrorist?  Was he a racist?  Was he mentally ill?  Was he a mentally ill, racist, terrorist?  Or, was he a product of some driving societal force greater than himself?  We will discuss.

Today, we talk about the victories and disappointments coming from Texas. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld TX's HB2, which now will result in even more abortion facility closures.  On the other hand, McKinney, TX is in the spolight for an alleged case of racial discrimination and police brutality stemming from the actions of a white police officer.  What are the pro-life implications of each story?

NARAL, too, is making some interesting admissions in a recent letter sent out to its supporters.  NARAL wants its supporters to help fight HR 36, the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, but it says something very odd about why.  Tune in to listen to the rationale.

With great pleasure, we play a great speech by motivational speaker Nick Vujicic.  Nick Vujicic was born without arms or legs and once considered suicide to end his suffering.  However, through the salvation of Jesus Christ and a great perspective on life, he is still with us and moving so many hearts and minds in the pro-life direction.
