Podcast appearances and mentions of ingrid skop

In this eye-opening conversation, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Skop — a board-certified OB/GYN and Vice President of Medical Affairs at the Charlotte Lozier Institute — to unpack the critical issues surrounding women's health care. Dr. Skop shares her firsthand medical insight on the realities of abortion procedures, the risks of substandard care, and what women really need when facing unplanned pregnancies.We explore alternatives to abortion clinics, the importance of parental involvement laws, and the decline of essential services like cancer screenings and contraception. With compassion and clarity, Dr. Skop sheds light on what true, comprehensive care looks like — and how we can better support women both physically and emotionally.This is a conversation about facts, not politics. About healing, not headlines. And most of all, about the value of every woman and every life.https://lozierinstitute.org/team-member/ingrid-skop-m-d-facog/Recent News Summary:Leading up to a major budget vote in Congress, the U.S. House Rules Committee held an intense 21-hour hearing packed with high-profile Democratic leaders — including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Whip Katherine Clark, and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi — pushing for amendments that included increased welfare spending without work requirements and continued funding for Planned Parenthood.One of the central points of contention was the claim that proposed budget cuts represented the “largest cut to health care in American history.” Critics argue that equating abortion with healthcare is misleading and point to serious concerns about Planned Parenthood's practices.Reports — including a disturbing exposé from The New York Times — have shed light on troubling conditions in some Planned Parenthood facilities, including botched procedures, leaking sewage, and poor medical oversight. These revelations come amid ongoing scrutiny of the organization's influence and funding, with statistics showing:    Nearly 400,000 abortions annually performed by Planned Parenthood — about 40% of all abortions in the U.S.    A 97% abortion rate for pregnant women who visit their clinics.    A decline in other services: cancer screenings, pap smears, and contraception services have all dropped sharply.    $2 million per day in taxpayer funding still flows to the organization, despite these declines.    Meanwhile, over 5 women have reportedly died from complications related to abortions performed there.Critics also highlight that there are over 15 times more community health centers nationwide that provide broader, life-affirming care without performing abortions — offering a more comprehensive and safer option for women in need.House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed to push the bill through by July 4th, saying the time has come to redirect federal resources toward truly compassionate and high-quality women's healthcare.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

Can you believe it? Even The New York Times: yep, that New York Times... published an investigation calling out Planned Parenthood’s shocking negligence and dark underbelly. In this episode of Trending, Timmerie chats with Dr. Ingrid Skop, an OB-GYN and VP at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, detailing this bombshell report. Major Red Flags Revealed: Botched Abortions: A woman in New York thought she had an abortion, only to give birth 12 weeks later to a baby who sadly passed away. She’s now suing. Horrific Malpractice: Misplaced IUDs, failed procedures, and even birth control implants causing nerve damage. Sickening Conditions: One clinic had a sewage leak so bad it made patients vomit. Neglected Patients: Positive STD results never passed on, leading to untreated infections. But... Where’s the Money Going? $700M in taxpayer money. $500M in private donations. $90M in COVID loans. Yet, clinics are underfunded, staff are poorly trained, and turnover rates hit 50% a year. The article makes it clear: Planned Parenthood isn’t about women's health; it’s about abortions and lobbying. What’s the Real Choice? Dr. Skop mentions that there are 3,000+ pregnancy resource centers across the U.S. offering free services: ultrasounds, counseling, material support, you name it. These centers are powered by people who actually care about women and their babies. Timmerie and Dr. Skop emphasize this: Planned Parenthood markets "choice," but real choice means support, love, and options, not pressure and pain. Bottom Line: Even the NYT couldn’t sweep this under the rug. It’s time we help shine more light on the truth and support real women’s healthcare that values both moms and their babies.

After the Civil War, the equal protection clause was added to the Constitution as part of the 14th Amendment to protect the rights of black Americans. Simply stated, the equal protection clause provides that every American is to be treated equally under the law.  In the case United States v. Skrmetti, attorneys representing the U.S. government argued Wednesday before the Supreme Court that the clause in the Constitution prevents states from banning transgender medical treatments for minors. (The case, which comes out of Tennessee, is named after that state's chief law enforcer, Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti.) The problem with the government's argument, Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow Sarah Parshall Perry says, is that the high court already has determined that the equal protection clause applies only to immutable characteristics, qualities someone is born with, such as race or nationality.  “The Supreme Court has never determined that something that is subjective and internal, something that you choose and you act upon, is sufficient for constitutional protection,” Perry says on The Daily Signal's “Problematic Women” podcast.  The Supreme Court has been asked to give protection under the equal protection clause to individuals with a certain poverty status or education level, Perry says, but “both times the Supreme Court has said, ‘No way.'”  The case before the high court follows passage of a Tennessee law banning transgender medical treatments for anyone under 18. Perry predicts that the court will send the issue back to the American people, allowing each state to pass laws regarding minors and such gender treatments.  Perry joins this episode of “Problematic Women” to discuss the high-profile case and its likely outcome.  Also on today's show, we discuss President Joe Biden's decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden. And later, we sit down with Dr. Ingrid Skop, vice president and director of medical affairs for Charlotte Lozier Institute, to discuss the organization's recent study on the abortion pill.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Abortion on the ballot - a few Pro-Life victories The "Faith Under Fire" podcast from Family Life News Ten states decided proposed amendments to their constitutions in the October and November voting, a little more than two years after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the national Constitution does not include rights to abortions, leaving the decision on any limits (and taxpayer funding) to each individual state. Seven of those state approved pro-abortion ballot measures, but three did not. Family Life News asked Kelsey Pritchard of Susan B. Anthony Prolife America to offer a pro-life perspective on the election results. Pritchard is the public affairs director for SBA Prolife is South Dakota, one of the three states that turned aside constitutional protections for this practice of ending pregnancies. She also notes that the states where abortion proposals were approved by majorities of voters, abortion is already legal and accessible in each of those states. She not only points to the example of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, but other ways that public opinion was swayed. In this expanded conversation, she also talks about lessons from Florida, South Dakota and Nebraska that can be used to protect preborn babies elsewhere when legislatures and electorates make their future determinations.

The Power of Persuasion. Believing a lie as if it were the truth, this is what happens when the truth is eschewed and manipulated for political science purposes. There is an all-out assault on the human psyche…for the truth…and if we cannot find truth then we are all in big trouble!! Understanding the power of motivation, the ability to move an individual is important in understanding the Mass Formation and Propagandizing of the masses. The same things that motivate a person to act or believe are needed to move groups of people. Since we are unconscious creatures, we can be manipulated if not consciously aware of the wiles of our enemy. Dr. Ingrid Skop, a pro-life OB/GYN and Medical Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute, will join Mr. Black and discuss some lies the media is telling on behalf of Harris and at the expense of the lives of the unborn and the health of those mothers!

This is the story of hope in the battle between 'choice' and life - as a Christian OB/GYN saved a baby girl. I could hear the trembling in her voice when I returned her call. “I took the abortion pill, and I am so sorry that I took it”, she whispered. “Is it true that we can reverse its effect?” Dr. Ingrid Skop is Medical Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute and she recounts the story which ends with a healthy daughter born a little over seven months later.

20241003 - Dr. Ingrid Skop On KMCR by Kevin McCullough Radio

Democrats are blaming pro-life laws (and Donald Trump) for the death of Amber Thurman...and using her tragedy to promote unlimited abortion nation-wide. Let's cut through the lies--and save the lives of vulnerable women and children. Dr. Ingrid Skop, Vice President at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, is a board-certified OB/GYN who has delivered more than 5,000 babies. Unfortunately, she also has first-hand experience treating women for life-threatening complications of the abortion pill. She says we must place the blame where it belongs – not on pro-life laws that protect both mother and child, but on the abortions, intended to end the lives of unborn children that ended up taking the lives of their mothers, too.The Lozier Institute: https://lozierinstitute.org/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faith-works-live-with-rebekah-haynie--5411714/support.

Can safeguarding women's health and holding the FDA accountable hinge on a controversial Supreme Court decision? Today, we dive into the profound implications of the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the abortion pill, joined by Dr. Ingrid Skop. We'll address the critical lawsuit where pro-life doctors challenged the FDA, arguing that the removal of essential safeguards around abortion drugs like Mifepristone and Misoprostol posed severe risks to women. Dr. Skop brings her medical expertise to the table, outlining the dangers these drugs present when used without medical supervision. We'll also explore how states like Missouri, Kansas, and Idaho are stepping up to represent affected women, pushing for greater FDA accountability.Moving beyond the courtroom, our conversation takes a deep look at the ethical and cultural landscape of abortion in the United States. Dr. Skopp provides a compelling narrative on the need for a national discourse about the inherent value of human life. We scrutinize the cultural ramifications since Roe v. Wade, the demographic crisis tied to low fertility rates, and the ethical pitfalls in treating pregnancy as a medical condition. Engaging with the historical context of euthanasia in Europe, we draw parallels to the current U.S. scenario, emphasizing the broader societal consequences of failing to protect the unborn. Join us for a thought-provoking episode that challenges conventional healthcare narratives and underscores the importance of supporting both unborn children and their mothers.

Dr. Ingrid Skop, a seasoned obstetrician and pro-life advocate, shared her experiences with the heartbreaking aftermath of abortions. Dr. Skop, who has delivered over 5,000 babies, offers a unique and compassionate perspective on the real-life consequences faced by women when abortions go wrong.   The Heartbreaking Aftermath of Abortion With a heavy heart, Dr. Skop reveals the severe complications women endure after abortions, especially with the rise of chemical abortions. She describes how women come to her in desperate need, suffering from heavy bleeding, infections, and requiring emergency surgery. It's not just statistics for her; it's about real women in pain, women who are often left alone to deal with the physical and emotional wreckage.   The Dark Side of Underreporting Dr. Skop uncovers a shocking truth: the FDA admits that 1 in 25 women will need emergency care after taking abortion drugs. But many of these cases are misdiagnosed as miscarriages due to the shame surrounding abortion. Dr. Skop speaks about the women who suffer in silence, feeling abandoned and betrayed by a system that promised them "safe and easy" solutions.   The Dangers of Mail-Order Abortions With genuine concern, Dr. Skop tells you about the alarming trend of mail-order abortion drugs. These medications, sent across state lines leave women to fend for themselves. She shares heartbreaking stories of women making multiple emergency room visits, bleeding and in pain, before they receive the care they need. This lack of oversight is truly a profound human tragedy.   The Truth Behind the Numbers Dr. Skop criticizes the abortion industry's manipulation of data. She talks about how pro-abortion studies often fail to track complications accurately, leaving many women's suffering unrecorded. The pro-life research she and her colleagues conduct is frequently censored, stifling the truth about the real dangers of abortion. It's a battle for transparency and honesty that she is determined to fight.   A Call for Real Compassion Reflecting on her decades in the field, Dr. Skop makes it clear that that abortion has been a devastating failure for women's health. She talks about the long-term consequences: the medical complications, the mental health issues, and the societal problems like fatherless children. With deep compassion, she calls for a reevaluation of this "failed experiment" and advocates for comprehensive support for women facing unplanned pregnancies. She believes in a world where both the mother and the child are cherished and supported.   Abortion is a path that leads to profound suffering and regret. Dr. Skop's heartfelt plea is to protect and cherish both the mother and the child, providing real support and hope for those facing unexpected pregnancies.

Next Monday is the two-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, but the fight for life is now going on with more intensity than ever.

But Dr. Ingrid Skop from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, and attorney Katie Daniel, with Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, say that the battle will wage on.

It's Friday, June 14th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus North Korea sent 1,400 helium balloons with manure and trash to South Korea South Korean Christian ministries have sent GPS-guided balloons carrying pages of Scripture and USB devices featuring the Bible into North Korea where owning a Bible can be punishable by execution. In retaliation for what it calls “anti-North Korean propaganda,” North Korea, led by the dictator Kim Jong Un, sent more than 1,400 helium balloons filled with trash and manure into South Korea, reports International Christian Concern. The South Korean military has intercepted many of the balloons.  In response to the helium balloon-delivered manure and trash, South Korean officials resumed loudspeaker broadcasts at specific border areas. Subsequently, Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, warned South Korea that these loudspeaker broadcasts, leaflets, and USB devices could soon provoke a “crisis of confrontation” between the two nations.   She  added that the manure and trash balloons were “sincere presents” sent to the “goblins of liberal democracy who are crying for the guarantee of freedom of expression.” Join me and specifically pray Ezekial 36:26 for Kim Jong Un and his sister, Kim Yo Jong, who are spiritually lost.  The verse describes how God “will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.” According to Open Doors, North Korea is the world's most dangerous country in which to be a Christian. Trans World Radio, which broadcasts into North Korea from South Korea, received an email from a North Korean listener who said, “Without your programs, love and dedication, we would not have access to the Gospel of our Father in Heaven and we would be lost." Supreme Court allows Abortion Kill Pill to be sent through mail Yesterday, the Supreme Court made a terrible decision. It ruled against pro-life doctors and others who challenged the Food and Drug Administration's decision to loosen restrictions on the distribution of the Abortion Kill Pill, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In the unanimous decision in the case titled FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote, “The plaintiffs lack standing to sue to stop the law. Specifically, the FDA's regulations apply to doctors prescribing mifepristone and to pregnant women taking mifepristone. But the plaintiff doctors and medical associations do not prescribe or use mifepristone.” The Food and Drug Administration decided to make chemical abortion as widely available as possible as part of the Biden-Harris pro-abortion agenda. Dr. Ingrid Skop, the Medical Director of the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute, previously said, “The FDA's decision to weaken commonsense safeguards, removing doctors from the process, shows they prioritize ending unborn life over the health and safety of women.” In addition to directly ending an innocent human life, abortion drugs are also dangerous for women. Side effects and complications that accompany chemical abortions are: pain, possibly severe heavy and/or prolonged bleeding for multiple weeks fever infection incomplete abortion (requiring surgical follow-up) nausea and vomiting diarrhea feeling dizzy or having a headache short to lasting hot flashes hemorrhage blood clots undetected ectopic pregnancy, which is life-threatening and permanent infertility for an Rh-negative mother. God sent two rescuers to save father and 2 boys in Colorado River A week ago Thursday, when the inflatable kayak a father and his two young sons were using in the Colorado River flipped over in a rapid, the family became scattered in raging waters, reported KSL-TV. Providentially, Eric Odenthal saw the terrifying crisis unfold. ODENTHAL: “I just seen the kids floating downstream, struggling.” Indeed, according to the Grand County Sheriff's Search and Rescue, “The 10-year-old was reportedly wearing a belt-pack [personal flotation device] or PFD  that inflated with a C02 cartridge. It flipped the boy over so he was face down in the water. And the 8-year-old was wearing a [life preserver] that was too big and failed to keep his head above water.” Odenthal called out to his friend, Gaar Lausman, who jumped on his paddleboard. ODENTHAL: “You need to go right now. This is really important. Get those kids out of the water.” But, while the kids were scooped up, the dad, who had not been wearing a life jacket at all, was further away and barely able to keep above water, reports FaithWire.com. ODENTHAL: “He's getting pulled by eddies. His face is barely above water.” Just when it seemed all hope was lost, as the father sunk down below the water's surface, God sent along a second Good Samaritan. A man named Daniel Wright suddenly emerged on a jet ski. ODENTHAL: “It was literally a miracle this guy showed up.” According to the Grand County Sheriff's Search and Rescue, Wright initially passed by the father because he didn't see him. WRIGHT: “Initially, I thought it was just kind of debris in the water.” It wasn't until the man on the paddleboard got his attention that he turned around and found him. For his part, Wright scrambled to reach the father, who, at that point was reaching his hand up out of the water in a final attempt at being rescued. WRIGHT: “He realized that was it. That was what he had left was reaching out to me.  I had to help him. I had to get him.” Once he got him safely to shore, Wright described what happened next. WRIGHT:  “I gave him a hug and I embraced him, you know, when I got him out of the water because it was an emotional moment.” Grand County Sheriff's Search and Rescue concluded its post by encouraging people to wear “properly-fitted, and properly-worn” safety gear. As for Wright, he credited the Lord for his ability to be present and help out. WRIGHT:  “I'm just really thankful and I really just think God just had me right there at the right time.” No doubt, he echoes the sentiment of Psalm 9:1. “I will give thanks to You, LORD, with all my heart. I will tell of all Your wonderful deeds.” Virginia Worldview listener shares why he gave $500 Last night, I called Danny in Abingdon, Virginia, a Worldview listener who donated $500 to help keep this newscast on the air. He explained what he appreciates. DANNY: “I just like that you all provide an option for news that is filtered through a Biblical lens so that you're reporting news and how it relates to believers in Christ, and how the Bible would speak to the news of the day. I think y'all might be the only option, that I know of, that provides that for believers. And I appreciate that and I want to support that and hope that that continues.” Danny especially likes the fact that we cite two relevant Bible verses connected to two of our weekday stories. DANNY: “When I see that Bible verses are referenced in some of the stories, it just helps me be mindful of the Biblical worldview is the truth, and that we need to constantly be bringing the stories and news reports back to the truth which is in the Holy Scriptures.” He challenged other listeners to join him and make an online donation through our website TheWorldview.com. DANNY: “I would just challenge those that value The Worldview in 5 Minutes, who support this because I think this is one of the only options that Christians have to get news from a Biblical worldview. We need to support that because it's important and there's not many other options, if any at all out there. Very valuable for believers to have that option.” 11 Worldview listeners gave $1,807 Toward our $57,100 mid-point goal by 5:00pm Central on Saturday, June 15th to fund the 6-member Worldview team for another year, 11 Worldview listeners made a donation yesterday online. Our thanks to Jay in Lees Summit, Missouri, Hannah in Leo, Indiana, Rachel in Washougal, Washington, and Christopher in Deposit, New York – each of whom gave $25. We appreciate Faith in Coeur D Alene, Idaho, Jane in Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania, and Jon in Newton, New Jersey – each of whom gave $50.

Those 11 donors gave $1,807. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please. (sound effect of drum roll) $28,635 (audience cheering) By 5:00pm Central on Saturday night, June 15th, we need to raise $28,465 in order to hit our mid-point goal.  In an audience this size -- with tens of thousands who listen through the 125 radio stations which now carry us as well as through our website and the Generations app, I'm confident that 20 Worldview listeners could each pledge $100 per month for 12 months for a gift of $1,200.  Those 20 pledges would add up to $24,000.  The remaining $4,465 could be raised through smaller one-time gifts or smaller monthly pledges.

Ever heard that abortion is necessary to save a woman's life? Think again!    In a recent episode of Trending with Timmerie, Dr. Ingrid Skop, an obstetrician and the Vice President of Medical Affairs for the Charlotte Lozier Institute, joins Timmerie to tackle one of the most persistent pro-abortion myths: the idea that abortion is necessary to save the life of a mother. Dr. Skop, who has delivered over 5,000 babies, asserts that abortion is never medically necessary to save a mother's life. Instead, the focus should be on early delivery if complications arise, ensuring both mother and child receive the care they need.   Key Points from the Podcast:    Medical Misinformation & Misleading Practices:   Since the 1960s and 70s, Timmerie explains that the medical community has often misinformed women about their fertility and health, pushing birth control and abortion as solutions to underlying health issues.   Abortion & Emergency Medical Treatment:   Dr. Skop clarifies that in emergency situations, the appropriate medical response is to stabilize the mother and deliver the baby, not perform an abortion.   EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act of 1986) requires hospitals to provide emergency care, which includes evaluating and stabilizing both the mother and unborn child.   Supreme Court & Legal Battles:   The Biden administration's attempts to use EMTALA to promote abortion conflicts with state laws. However, Dr. Skop is optimistic that the Supreme Court will uphold the states' rights to protect both mother and child in emergencies.   Misleading Pro-Abortion Arguments:   Pro-abortion advocates often use the argument of "life of the mother" to justify abortion, despite it not being necessary. Most medical emergencies occur later in pregnancy when early delivery is viable.   Pro-Life Laws & Women's Health:   Quality medical practice involves early delivery, not abortion. Abortion, especially later in pregnancy, is riskier for women and often coerced by external pressures.   The Charlotte Lozier Institute provides scientific, peer-reviewed data debunking pro-abortion claims and supporting pro-life laws.   Global Perspective:   The U.S. is one of only eight countries that allows elective abortions throughout the entire pregnancy, a practice that is both inhumane and unnecessary. This is a heartbreaking reality that our nation needs to correct, and we need to turn back to the Lord.    Dr. Skop emphasizes that abortion till birth is a tragic reality in the U.S., often justified under vague definitions of health that include social and financial reasons. This misrepresentation leads to coercive practices that harm women and their babies. These women truly want to keep their children. Can you only imagine the pain and pressure they feel? We need to show them compassion and better choices, and walk with them through this hurt.    Pro-Life, Pro-Woman:    "Pro-life is pro-woman."   Pro-life laws protect women and children. The reality is, women facing crises during pregnancy need comprehensive care, not abortion. Educate yourself and others using resources from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, where science and compassion meet to support life at all stages. Here's one of Dr. Skop's publications.    Let's spread the truth and support the sanctity of life!   The best way to listen to the Best of the Week is on our #1 Free Catholic App. It's free, and always will be!

The topic of abortion is making a huge appearance this election year, but political speeches often distort the realities on the ground.  Misinformation and carefully-crafted language can make it easy to think that a vote for abortion is a vote for the empowerment of women while a vote against it endangers women's health, dignity, and welfare.  Today Cinthia interviews two women who are involved in the ongoing battle for the lives of babies in the womb and for legislation that truly protects the health of women and girls.  [A note here:  We know that this topic can be deeply painful for many people, but avoiding it only causes more harm and pain.  If abortion is part of your story, please know that there is help and healing available and that God longs to pour out His mercy on us.  You can grieve; you can heal both from what has been done to you and from what you have done.  Please reach out to safe people for assistance.  Look for a safe, healthy pastor, therapist, or ministry that walks people through these journeys on a regular basis; many pregnancy resource centers have support groups or counseling available for those who have had abortions.] Emily Erin Davis is the Vice President of Communications for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.  She is an international communicator, author, and humanitarian who is also the mother of two children born from unplanned pregnancies by the time she was 22 years old.  She recalls being pressured to have abortions in each case, though she was able to withstand that pressure and have both children instead.  Davis confronts the idea that abortion is empowering to women.  She reports that the majority of surveyed women who have had abortions report that their abortions were inconsistent with their own values, with many reporting force or coercion having been used to influence them toward abortion.  Davis indicates that abortion coercion is a reality not being openly discussed, one that is highly relevant to the question of whether individual women's choices are actually the ones being protected by abortion laws.  The majority report having had abortions for non-emergency reasons that had more to do with a lack of financial or emotional support than with a desire to choose abortion.  “This isn't even the first choice of women,” says Davis.  “The pregnancy is not the problem.”  She states that women “want lifelines, not life-enders.”  Meanwhile, of women surveyed who considered abortion but chose instead to give birth, Davis reports that the percentage who now state they love these children and are glad they did not abort is in the “high nineties.”  She states that women with unplanned pregnancies often fear that “your life is over” because of the pregnancy, but that this is not the case.  “You are going to get through this,” she states, emphasizing that there are resources available and people who want to help.  “This is not the end for you or your child.”  She also notes, “Nobody complains that they did not have an abortion.” Davis emphasizes that abortion is a human rights issue.  She reports that the United States is one of only seven countries in the world to allow elective abortion past 20 weeks of gestation, making us a “global outlier” and “a pariah” in the eyes of most countries in the world and categorizing us with countries such as China and Vietnam that are known more generally for human rights violations.  Davis is especially attuned to this concern since she grew up in Taiwan, where her father counseled many who had experienced the carnage of China's abortion laws at that time; she recalls that girls, as well as boys with any kind of prenatal defect, were targeted for abortion at that time and place, though the specific targets of abortion can, she says, “change with the cultural wind.”  Davis indicates that misinformation about the laws on ballots is prevalent right now.  For example, women in Ohio were recently told that they needed to vote for abortion legislation as a way of ensuring they would have access to miscarriage care, though this was untrue.  She says that parental consent and notification laws, conscience laws that protect doctors, etc., are being targeted by proposed laws around the country, particularly the “Women's Health Protection Act,” which strips any and all protections against abortion (e.g., restrictions on the availability of abortion at any point in pregnancy, parental consent and notification laws, conscience laws for doctors, etc.).  U.S. funding is also being channeled toward Planned Parenthood and away from pregnancy resource centers.  Davis states that Biden, when asked to identify when human life begins, stated that this was “a Republican trap” and that he did not have to answer that.  Davis asks, “At what point does the child in the womb receive human rights?  At what point are they worthy of protection?”  Pelosi referred to abortion being important for our nation's economy.  Davis encouraged voters to pursue education about this topic and to know where representatives and other politicians stand; she explained that sbaprolife.org has information on each federal candidate, including stances and voting records.  She encouraged those who are pro-life to “lean into these uncomfortable conversations.” Cinthia agrees with Davis that abortion is “sold as a way to fix things and move on” but that it “ignores the impact to the body and mind of the woman.”  She states that how we value the least of these impacts our own self-worth, and that a society that provides abortion on demand for humans but disallows euthanizing an animal without just cause has lost its perspective.  Even societies that sacrificed infants to pagan gods valued their children more than this, she explains, noting, “Babies were sacrificed to gods because they were valuable;” as horrific as those sacrifices were, our nation is devaluing these children even more by treating them as “throw-aways.”  Cinthia states that our society has developed a mentality that wants to make uncomfortable things simply disappear and that we need to understand our actions matter because we matter. Cinthia visits next with Dr. Ingrid Skop, M.D., FACOG, an OB/Gyn who has delivered over 5,000 babies and is the Vice President and Director of Medical Affairs for the Charlotte Lozier Institute. Her bio, available at https://lozierinstitute.org/team-member/ingrid-skop-m-d-facog/, includes publication of research in multiple peer-reviewed articles regarding maternal mortality, abortion, and women's health; providing expert testimony at the state and federal levels on legislation related to abortion; and opposing politicians who “choose not to follow the science regarding fetal heartbeat and development.”  Dr. Skop reports that misinformation is being used to accomplish political goals and that the reaction to the overturning of Roe v. Wade has been characterized by “fearmongering and lies.”  She states that we have been told maternal mortality is going to increase and that women will not get needed care, but that this is “absolutely untrue.”  Dr. Skop reports that every state with abortion restrictions allows for exception to protect the woman's life, though this is hardly ever needed.  (Dr. Skop explains that it is necessary at times to deliver a baby early in order to save the life of the mother, but that everything is done in these cases to attempt to save the life of the child; actually needing to abort the child for the sake of the mother's medical stability is rare.)  Dr. Skop reports that all states with abortion restrictions allow exceptions for ectopic pregnancies, for example, and that the spread of misinformation about these issues is an attempt to “frighten the public,” including pregnant women and doctors.  Dr. Skop explains that 95-97% of abortions in the U.S. are for financial and social reasons; she states that those who describe tragic medical circumstances to protect abortion access do not know or acknowledge that exceptions always exist in the laws for these circumstances.  She also indicates that the current access to abortion pills is itself medically dangerous to women since these medications are being mailed to anyone who requests them with no legitimate screening for risk factors for taking them (e.g., ectopic pregnancy) or for the existence of coercion; 63% of America's one million abortions last year were performed with these kinds of drugs, though this can occur in ways that are “totally medically unsupervised.”  Even medical data is sometimes used in deceptive ways.  For example, claims are made that chemical abortion is “safer than Tylenol” for the woman, but this is deceptive.   “We have almost no good data,” explains Dr. Skop, because the numbers are not mandatorily reported.  Dr. Skop has cared for many women with physical and mental health complications from abortions, including hemorrhages, infection, and needing surgery.  She has seen the impact on mental health and notes that women are six times as likely to commit suicide in the year following an abortion than if they carry their babies to term.  Dr. Skop reports that women and girls sometimes take abortion pills having been told they are aborting “a clump of cells,” and then are shocked to recognize arms, legs, and a human shape to what is expelled.  She states, “The American public has been gaslighted about this, and euphemisms have been used to the point that people don't even really understand what is happening.” Like Davis, Dr. Skop emphasizes that the demand for abortion is being misrepresented.  She states that most women who have abortions do not want them but feel desperate because of other circumstances; she notes, “There are so many other ways to deal with social problems” in our society.  She also repeatedly refers to the existence of coercion toward abortion by men and others in the lives of pregnant women.  While she does not state that the American public generally opposes abortion, she does state that it is much closer to pro-life than to the anytime-for-any-reason ideology being advocated by politicians.  She also states that approximately 90% of doctors do not do elective abortions and that their representing agencies are advocating their own ideologies and not those of the doctors they represent.  She states that most obstetricians “know they have two patients and want to care for both.” In her years as a psychotherapist and current work as a life coach, Cinthia has also worked with many women who have mental health complications from abortion.  She states that women are biologically wired to love the child with which they become pregnant, that they “can't help but love that child no matter what,” and that, when we encourage women and girls to consider abortion, “we are setting up women to be murdering and then have to live with that for the rest of their life.” Cinthia and Dr. Skop both emphasize that women and girls with unplanned pregnancies may be in difficult situations and often do not realize that there are people who want to help. Like other people in difficult situations, these women and girls need people around them who are “strong enough to help them think through what is happening” and access the many resources that exist.  Cinthia emphasizes to clients considering abortion that, while abortion is sold as a way to make the problem disappear and make life go back to normal, this decision will have implications for the rest of their lives; it is not like going and getting your teeth cleaned or having another medical procedure that simply takes care of a medical issue and frees the patient to move forward in life.  Dr. Skop emphasizes that this is not simply a political issue, but “at its root an intensely spiritual and moral issue” which we “should be unafraid to address from the pulpit.”  Cinthia encourages us as a society to stop “searing our own conscience” so that we see things in a way that is upside-down and backwards, allowing ourselves to do what seems like it will make problems go away but which compounds them astronomically. Again, if you have experienced or participated in abortion in any way, we emphasize that there is help, hope, mercy, and forgiveness.  God can heal, and He does it all the time.  Please go to Him.  Tell Him where you are with this whole issue – honestly and completely.  Let Him give you mercy, protection, and courage.  And then, with His guidance, seek help from safe people who know about the aftermath of abortion and who can help you make this journey.  Grace and peace to you.

Mary Danielsen talks with Dr. Ingrid Skop Vice President and Director of Medical Affairs for Charlotte Lozier Institute, leveraging more than 30 years' experience as a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist to support research and policies that respect the dignity of every human life. Dr. Skop believes the Abortion Kill Pill is deadly for the unborn baby and dangerous for mothers who take it, leading to 4 times the complications as surgical abortions. In 2020, when 500,000 aborted chemically, 25,000 of them went to the emergency room or required surgical follow-up. 63% of mothers who abort these days, do so chemically. She has had to operate on women who had not expelled their dead baby after taking the Abortion Kill Pill prescribed by another OB/GYN.  We will discuss some shocking admissions from the US Supreme Court abortion pill oral arguments.   Shameless plug for swag for our listeners/donors! https://www.redpillprints.com/stand-up-for-the-truth - Thanks for YOUR Support!

The Biden Administration asked SCOTUS justices to strike down an Idaho law protecting most children from abortion, arguing it conflicts with EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act). Dr. Ingrid Skop, an OBGYN joins us to address the facts about this law, and the reality for doctors. The Democrats are making abortion a key issue: Kamala Harris going state to state to promote it, Gov. Gavin Newsom promoting ads in a variety of states depicting underage girls being stopped by police with a pregnancy test, girls chained to hospital beds and other absurd vignettes scaring people about pro-life laws. Will it work? We discuss!

Our play, OCTOBER 7, is just over two weeks away. It's never been more important to tell the truth about what happened to Israel, which is why we're giving you an exclusive look into the newest trailer. On today's episode, we're talking about Iran's recent attack against Israel and why this would never have happened under Donald Trump. Let's just say, the Biden administration is responsible for a lot of disinformation. Are they lying? Or are they just dupes of Hamas terrorists and the pro-abortion lobby?  Two experts join us to talk about how Biden has gotten it so wrong on these very important issues. Our first guest is Dr. Abraham Wyner, he's the incredible statistician who debunked the hockey stick graph. Today, he debunks Hamas' reported casualty numbers, which make absolutely no sense and seem to be massively over-reported. Then, Dr. Ingrid Skop of the Charlotte Lozier Institute joins us to talk about an insidious abortion ad that Biden's reelection campaign put out. This is an episode you won't want to miss. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ap-scoop/message
