    Episode 55-Inside the Medical Debate Over Abortion Pills with Dr. Catherine Wheeler

    What happens when a doctor realizes, mid-procedure, that everything she was taught is wrong? On this episode of The LifeCast, Dr. Catherine Wheeler, a retired OB-GYN and former abortion provider, shares the moment her “blinders came off” when she suddenly recognized the humanity of the preborn child and knew she could never participate in abortion again. She reflects on how modern medical ethics have shifted from “do no harm” to a framework of patient autonomy that can prioritize choice even when it conflicts with health, alongside concerns about abortion pills and the growing politicization of organizations like ACOG. Now serving with AAPLOG, she advocates for Hippocratic, life-affirming medicine that refuses to use death as a therapeutic option and calls physicians to once again fight for the lives of both mothers and their children.

    Episode 51-The Next Major Court Fights Over Abortion Laws with Andrew Nussbaum

    Rich Bennett sits down with constitutional law professor and nationwide litigator Andrew Nussbaum to unpack the growing legal battles surrounding abortion, free speech, and states’ rights. From interstate conflicts over abortion pill distribution—unlike anything seen since the Civil War era—to the reality of Abortion Pill Reversal being limited to just two clinics in Colorado, this conversation highlights a rapidly shifting legal landscape. Andrew challenges common claims like “the abortion pill is safer than Tylenol” and reveals a striking courtroom moment where women’s testimonies were actively pushed aside by Planned Parenthood. Together, they explore what it means to be in a “50-state battlefield” and why every jurisdiction now matters. Looking ahead, Andrew shares where he believes the most critical legal fights will unfold in the next five years.

    What if a woman changes her mind after starting a chemical abortion? Should she still have the chance to save her baby? Lauren Castillo of Bella Health + Wellness joins Rich Bennett and Hannah Harris on this episode of The LifeCast to discuss the life-saving impact of the Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), which has helped save at least 8,000 babies.
