Do the American people prefer abortion on demand or "a woman's right to choose," as the abortion industry and their political allies describe it? Over the last year, since Roe v. Wade was thankfully overturned, a narrative has taken root that it is a political liability to be pro-life and in favor of legal restrictions on abortion.
As citizens of the United States of America, we enjoy so many freedoms and liberties that we dare not take for granted. On today’s edition of Family Talk, co-host Gary Bauer interviews Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, about the ideals and principles upon which our great nation was founded. Let us never forget that our founding fathers leaned heavily on God and their Judeo-Christian heritage as they completed the final draft of the Declaration of Independence 247 years ago. It is the very reason why we, as Americans, can and do celebrate the 4th of July and call our nation “the land of the free!”

This week's episode of Defending Faith, Family, and Freedom with Gary Bauer, marks the 1st anniversary of the fall of Roe v. Wade. Bauer challenges American churches to commemorate this landmark Supreme Court decision for what it was, a win for our beloved Constitution and a worthy celebration in the victory for life. He adds that in the 12 months since the Dodd decision, it is estimated that 30,000 to 60,000 babies have been saved from abortion, and that’s an amazing result. Bauer warns, however, that the state-by-state fight for life has only just begun. We invite you to listen to this uplifting and convicting podcast today.

This week Dr. James Dobson and the entire staff at JDFI will join millions of pro-life Americans in celebrating the one-year anniversary of the legal "death" of Roe v. Wade.

Gary Bauer and special guest Dr. Jerry Newcombe, executive director of the Providence Forum, discuss “The American Experiment.” Newcombe says this ‘experiment’ can be summarized in a key phrase: “self-rule, under God.” If removed, Americans lose the true source of their freedoms—God. Newcombe says, "The Left has their big guns aimed at both of these pillars." In agreement, Bauer adds, “The Left doesn’t want to win the debate; the Left wants to shut down the debate.” To hear Bauer and Newcombe discuss America’s founding and God-centered heritage, we invite you to listen to this very important podcast.
