IBFL episode 22-03 for Wednesday, July 6, 2022 In Business For Life Podcast

- Non-Profit
This is the In Business for Life show for Wednesday, July 6, 2022. IBFL is a weekly podcast exploring how life-minded leaders are leveraging their time, treasure and talent to save the preborn, champion adoption, and minister to men and women touched by abortion. In Business For Life rallies marketplace leaders to help men and women choose life for their babies.
Today our guest is Cathie Humbarger, a veteran pro-life leader in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She is the founder of Reprotection, a pro-life organization that helps state-level law enforcement properly enforce abortion regulations which can go unmonitored or ignored by abortion-friendly politicians and state agencies. Learn more at www.Reprotection.org. In the Hoosier state, Cathie is a unique player in the pro-life cause because she actively serves in both the ministry side of serving moms, dads, and babies, and she also crosses swords with politicians. Usually, activists gravitate toward either the hard work of mercy, patience, and service to women facing abortion decisions, or the hard work of political and legal battles.
But Cathie Humbarger does both and therefore offers a unique perspective on what we may face as a pro-life movement in the wake of the fall of Roe versus Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that created a right to legal abortion on demand. The ruling was overturned last week, and now returns the question of legality to the states. An estimated 26 states will likely have pro-life laws on the books that will protect all or most babies from conception until natural death, while the balance of the 24 states will protect legal abortion to varying degrees.
IBFL’s Christopher Mann recorded this interview with Cathie by way of online video.
Timeline 00:01:56 – How should the pro-life movement talk about Roe’s fall with pro-abortion neighbors? 00:05:51 – How should pregnancy resource centers and churches respond to the prospect of violence or vandalism? 00:08:50 – How do you see the work of pro-life activists in both the pregnancy resource centers and the halls of legal and political advocacy changing in the wake of Roe’s fall? 00:11:47 – How does it mean that our fight for the unborn is not fought with weapons of men, but by the Spirit? 00:17:01 – How do men get involved in the pro-life cause? 00:21:08 – How does Indiana become a pro-life state? 00:33:05 – How will pro-life chapters score candidates now that the fight for abortion laws is on the shoulders of our state representatives, senators, and governor, not our federal officials as before? And now that some county prosecutors are declaring that they will not prosecute abortion crimes of Indiana makes abortion illegal, how should state pro-life organizations react?
