The Dignity of Women – Episode 007 – The Abolition of Woman

Fiorella Nash is one of the leading modern Catholic feminist voices in the Church today. As I read through her recent book,  The Abolition of Woman: How Radical Feminism is Betraying Women,  I was overwhelmed by her mastery of the work - her vast research into feminism, the abortion industry, the fertility industry, and gendercide issues. Fiorella's faith and understanding of human nature, social responsibility, and inviolable human rights clearly determine her pro-life convictions. I challenged Fiorella on how feminism can possibly reconcile with the pro-life stance, and what is left, if anything to "reclaim" of the feminism of ages past! Author and bioethicis t  Fiorella  Nash  joins me on  The Dignity of Women  podcast. Fiorella is a writer and bioethicist in the United Kingdom with over ten years' experience researching life issues from a feminist perspective. She speaks often at international conferences and has appeared on radio and in p...

The Dignity of Women – Episode 006 – Srs., Mercy & Veronica

The Sisters of Life is a contemplative/active religious community of women founded in 1991 by John Cardinal O’Connor for the protection and enhancement of the sacredness of every human life. Like all religious communities, they take the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The Sisters of Life also are consecrated under a special, fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. Sr. Veronica and Sr. Mercy  of the  Sisters of Life  join me on  The Dignity of Women  podcast. This podcast was a special treat because I was able to visit the Sisters in their Yonkers, NY convent and record in person! Amidst the joy and laughter that filled the time we spent together, there were deep messages shared by the Sisters that are necessary for us to hear and to ponder. The witness of religious Sisters in our culture is certainly a testimony to the love of Christ, through his brides, which is unlike any other witness on earth. ...

The Dignity of Women - Episode 005 - Abortion, Planned Parenthood, and Motherhood

Abby Johnson has always been fiercely determined to help women in need. This desire is what led Abby to an 8-year career with Planned Parenthood, our nation’s largest abortion provider, and caused her to flee the organization, becoming an outspoken advocate for the pro-life movement. As a clinic director at PP, Abby realized abortion was a “product” they were selling, yet she loved and continued to serve the women that entered her clinic. That changed on September 26, 2009, when Abby was asked to assist with an ultrasound-guided abortion. She watched in horror as a 13-week old baby fought for, and ultimately lost its life at the hand of the abortionist. Seeking answers, Abby turned to a local pro-life group. Her leaving Planned Parenthood as a threat to the organization caused them to take immediate action. They sought to silence Abby with a gag order and brought her to court on a case that was ultimately dismissed. Abby is the author of the nationally best-selling book Unplanned, whic...

The Dignity of Women - Episode 004 - Human Trafficking

8-year old Nomi is a survivor of human trafficking in Cambodia. When Diana Mao met Nomi at a recovery shelter, she was shocked and moved by her story. Trafficked by her stepfather, without her mother’s disapproval, Nomi was discovered by outreach workers – CAGED. She could not speak and was biting and drooling. Brought to the shelter, where she received care and nurture, it gave Diana great hope to witness Nomi’s growth – “living up to her God-given potential.” Diana founded the Nomi Network to share Nomi’s story and to help bring hope and healing to those recovering from human trafficking, as well as preventing and intervening for people at risk of being trafficked. Human Trafficking spokeswoman Diana Mao joins me on this episode of The Dignity of Women podcast, addressing the reality of human trafficking and how she left the path to a successful future, moved by a personal encounter, in order to found an organization that assists survivors and women at risk of human trafficking. Dian...
