Josh stumbled upon a pro-choice Reddit thread reacting to Tim’s Autumn in the Sovereign Zone article and decided to get Tim and Rachel’s spontaneous responses live on the podcast.
Afterward, they talk about how to respond to people who say that it’s only wrong to take Thalidomide if the mother is going to have an abortion anyway because then they’re not really causing suffering to this “potential person.”

Rachel is a former speaker, writer, and trainer with Equal Rights Institute. Rachel graduated in 2017 from the University of Michigan with a Biopsychology, Cognition, and Neuroscience major and Women’s Studies: Gender and Health minor. She was the president of the Students for Life club at the University of Michigan, leading their efforts to educate students on pro-life topics and to advocate for pregnant and parenting students.
Rachel is also a former staff member of the pregnancy medical center, ArborWoman. She formerly served on their Operations Committee and participated as a volunteer in their ministry.
Rachel wants the pro-life movement to be known for its love. “I want us to be courageous enough to speak with charity about abortion. Having a loving approach when presenting a good argument is a sign of strength, not weakness. We cannot allow our anger towards abortion to be directed at those who support its legality. Pro-life people care not just about the unborn, but about all people, and we need them to know that.”
