In this episode, Pastor Jon Benzinger sits down with pro-life advocate Josiah Friedman to discuss Arizona Proposition 139, a controversial measure that would legalize abortion for up to nine months. Friedman argues that this proposition is far from what most Arizonans want, with 90% supporting abortion only up to 15 weeks. Together, they explore critical concerns surrounding Proposition 139, including the lack of parental consent, the potential for abuse by sex traffickers, and the removal of essential safeguards. Friedman warns of the increased risks, such as ectopic pregnancies, and the potential undermining of community support if the proposition passes. He advocates for policies that truly support motherhood and family growth, contrasting sharply with what he sees as the proposition's defeatist stance.
