Jordan talks with Nadya Williams about her new book on children and mothers. They cover topics like whether our culture is really hostile to mothers, if there is a built-in disdain for motherhood, why many reflections on children and motherhood come from secular frameworks and push children out of view, what messages expecting mothers encounter when they go to a typical doctor's office for prenatal care, and why our culture "commodifies" children.
