Everyone deserves to live free of aggressive violence with Molly Sheahan | S2E9

In this episode, I speak with Molly Sheahan. Molly is the Associate Director for Life and Family Advocacy at the California Catholic Conference. She has an extensive lobbying portfolio, including legislative and grassroots advocacy on pro-life policy, foster care, human trafficking, domestic violence, bioethics, disability rights, end-of-life care, and the death penalty. Molly speaks nationally on human dignity concerns, and her writings have appeared in The Public Discourse, Angelus News, Grotto Network, Rehumanize International, and other publications. She is also the founder of We Are Pro-life Women, a new media movement highlighting the stories of underrepresented pro-life women. In our conversation, we cover topics like what it was like growing up pro-life, How the unborn and elderly have been impacted by the pandemic, Underrepresented women of color behind the pro-life movement, A pro-life saint you might have not heard about before, and The lessons mary teaches us about what it means to be pro-life. This interview is particularly timely and relevant given the recent leak of a draft opinion on Roe vs Wade. I hope that this episode helps us recognize that no matter what happens, we still have work to do to ensure that we live in a world where everyone is allowed to survive and flourish. Snippet from the show "Everyone deserves to live free of aggressive violence. But it doesn’t stop there. We’re supposed to be looking for a world that celebrates human dignity and human goodness and allows us to flourish. That’s the catholic vision: is to see people as good and worthy and deserving all that meets the reality of their human goodness." Have feedback?
