Issues related to the so-called “culture of life” have dominated American domestic politics over the past several months: from the Terry Schiavo case to the war in Iraq to battles over judicial nominees.

Guests:

Tiziana Dearing lives in Bedford, Massachusetts, with her husband, her daughter and her newborn son, Jude.
