    Mail-Order Abortion Pills: Coercion, Complications, and State Battles

    In this timely episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shamiah Reed sits down with Sue Liebel, Director of State Affairs for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, to unpack the escalating controversies surrounding mail-order abortion pills like mifepristone. They discuss the high complication rates (including 1 in 25 women requiring emergency room care per FDA labels), the rise of coercion cases—highlighted by Rosalie Markezich's (referred to as Rosalie Marquette in discussion) traumatic experience where her boyfriend allegedly forced her to take pills mailed from a California doctor—and Louisiana's lawsuits against out-of-state providers shielded by California's laws. Liebel addresses shield laws protecting providers, the Biden-era policy changes allowing mailing, calls for the Trump administration and FDA to reinstate in-person requirements and review updated science, congressional efforts, public support for medical oversight (7 in 10 voters), the shift to 65% of abortions being chemical, and broader concerns over women's health, coercion by abusers, and interstate conflicts exemplified by Gov. Gavin Newsom's heated response. A must-listen for insights into this public health and policy flashpoint—visit sbaprolife.org and abortiondrugfacts.org for more.

    Zolal Habibi on Iran's Women's Revolution, Human Rights, and Defying Tyranny

    In this powerful and deeply moving interview on Refocused Network, Shemaiah Reed sits down with Zolal Habibi — a fearless Iranian-American human rights activist with over 25 years of dedicated work amplifying the voiceless inside Iran. Zolal's story begins with profound personal loss: at a young age, she witnessed the regime murder her father, a respected writer and political dissident, during the horrific 1988 massacre of political prisoners. That tragedy ignited an unshakeable commitment — choosing not a medical career, but a lifelong path to bring freedom and justice to Iran. https://ncr-iran.org/ She shares raw insights into: The pivotal role of women's leadership and empowerment in dismantling tyranny and misogyny The current climate inside Iran: the opposition and resistance movements (at home and abroad), ongoing protests, and human rights realities Iran's geopolitical threats: terrorism, warmongering, and nuclear ambitions Why the voices of political prisoners, dissidents, and freedom-seekers must be heard on the global stage As someone rooted in both Iranian heritage and American perspective, Zolal bridges understanding in ways that resonate deeply — offering hope, clarity, and a vision for real change. This conversation is a reminder that one person's courage can ripple into movements that reshape nations. If stories of resilience, purpose, and fighting for what's right move you, this episode is for you.
