Feminism’s Big Test
photo

It’s still a guessing game where Supreme Court nominee John Roberts stands on abortion rights. But it’s clear what his wife thinks.

Jane Sullivan Roberts, an accomplished attorney in her own right, is a member of the anti-abortion group “Feminists for Life.” That has many wondering if Jane speaks for John and it’s put a spotlight on the ideas and goals of “Feminists for Life.”

Hear about the anti-abortion group “Feminists for Life” and its vision of a world without abortion, and perhaps, without Roe v. Wade.

Guests:

Serrin Foster, president of Feminists for Life

Jessica O’Connor-Petts, birthmother who placed her baby up for adoption and Feminists for Life member

Marion Syversen, had several abortions and is a Feminists for Life member

Olga Vives, Executive Vice President National Organization for Women
