Gloria Borger: The classical liberal critique of America's racial past is not often mounted in those terms. She says the state plays a huge role in reinforcing and even, in some cases, most inventing some of that a races policy. "There's no organic rout out a case of rachel," she writes. 'I'm writing this for a popular audience'

In part one of this two part podcast, Curtis and David respond to the breaking news that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. Rather than dive into the legal or political dimensions of the ruling, they take a look at the social and spiritual dimensions, asking questions like:

What does this actually mean for abortion in America?
What are the opportunities and fears now in play?
How should a pro-life Christian respond to pro-choice friends and family members?
How should a pro-choice Christian respond to this decision?
What is the most important move to make now for Christians on both sides?

In part two they welcome guest Rachel Ferguson to discuss her new book “Black Liberation Through the Marketplace,” a classical liberal response to racial injustice in America.
