    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.

    Episode 50-When a Woman Changes Her Mind: The Fight for Abortion Pill Reversal with Lauren Castillo

    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. As one of the leaders at Bella Health + Wellness—one of two Colorado clinics that sued the state after it attempted to ban Abortion Pill Reversal—Lauren shares her reaction to the law and what it means for women seeking a second chance after beginning a chemical abortion. She explains how APR works and why many women come to clinics desperate to reverse their decision and save their babies. The conversation also explores the tension between government mandates and physicians’ moral responsibility to care for both mother and child. Lauren explains why she believes the fight for life—and for true choice—is far from over.

    Episode 49-Can the State Force Nonprofits to Betray Their Beliefs? With Jim Sprague & Bryan Neihart

    Can the government force a pro-life pregnancy center to hire staff who oppose its foundational beliefs? In this episode of The LifeCast, Rich Bennett speaks with Jim Sprague, CEO of the Pregnancy Resource Center in Grand Rapids, and Bryan Neihart of Alliance Defending Freedom about a lawsuit challenging a law that could require pro-life organizations to hire employees who oppose their mission and cover abortion in their health insurance plans.
