The Science of Chemical Abortions

Faith and Politics

This week, Chris is joined by Dr. Glenn Ridder a family practice doctor, medical director at the Alpha Center, state director of the Catholic Medical Association, and a permanent deacon for the diocese of Sioux Falls. Dr. Ridder explains how chemical abortions function in depriving a child of it's needed environment in the uterus, resulting in death, followed by a second drug that causes intense labor that expels the deceased baby from the womb. He also explains the science behind abortion "discontinuance" laws and medical protocols, and shares the heart warming story of a young boy who was recently saved with these methods. Lastly, they unpack the FDA's recent loosening of safety protocols surrounding abortion drugs, and South Dakota's legal efforts to place these protections for women in state law.
