Counting The Cost: A World Shaped by Abortion | January 18, 2026

What happens to a country when the value of life is negotiated instead of protected? In this episode, we take a hard, honest look at how abortion has reshaped law, culture, and conscience from Roe to Dobbs, and why the arguments on both sides have stayed fixed even as methods and numbers shift. With clinics declining and chemical abortions rising, the data reveal a sobering reality: legality moves, but the practice persists, and the ripple effects stretch across families, faith, and the fabric of public life.************Father Don Wolf is a priest of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
