Abortion Up To Birth: The Law, The Data, And The Fight To Save Millions | Dr. Joanna Howe

In this conversation, law professor and pro-life advocate Dr. Joanna Howe joins Freya to make the case that Australia's abortion laws represent one of the great unexamined moral failures of our time. Joanna argues that Australians have been deliberately kept in the dark: about what the laws actually permit, about the procedures they sanction, and about the data showing female babies are being selectively aborted and covered up by the officials responsible for acting on it. Dr. Joanna Howe is a Rhodes Scholar and Oxford-trained law professor who has become the leading voice of Australia's resurgent pro-life movement. A former Labor staffer turned legal academic, she is the driving force behind recent legislative efforts to restrict late-term and sex-selective abortion in Australian state parliaments — combining courtroom-level argumentation with a social media reach that extends well beyond the traditional pro-life constituency. Joanna is the mother of 6 children and runs the advocacy group Bird Flip. She is a Professor of Law at the University of Adelaide and a consultant with Harmers Workplace Lawyers.
