When "Roe v. Wade" crumbled to the ground on June 24, 2022, it was the beginning of the end of a decades long battle.

On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton interviews John Stemberger about his book, "Legacy of Life: Honoring Fifty of the Greatest Pro-Life Leaders of the Last Fifty Years," an ode to those who helped make a post-Roe America possible, including our own Dr. James Dobson.

Did you know that in a study of biologists polled from around the world, 96% agreed that human life begins at conception? Despite this overwhelming statistic that supports the pro-life position, we still battle the denial of this fact by those who want to destroy human life through abortion. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Dr. Tim Clinton discusses this delicate but serious topic with Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs for the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Dr. Skop explains that without knowledge of the truth about abortion, chemical abortion, and the morning after pill, women could be putting their lives in jeopardy, in addition to the lives of their unborn children.
