Life Matters

Kristi Judkins, Executive Director of Iowa Right To Life, joins host Brendan O'Connell from Iowa to discuss Life Matters. Kristi shares some Iowan highlights like the Iowa State Fair, where we can find The Butter Cow Lady sculptures (Elvis Prestley, Marilyn Monroe, John Wayne) and IowaRTL's booth celebrating life. Our guest and host explore topics that are impacting the Iowan community like the history of the Fetal Heartbeat Law, improving access to Medicaid after pregnancy, expanding Safe Haven laws and helping its citizens become more knowledgeable in understanding prenatal development, among other topics. Judkins also offers testament of her journey on the pro-life movement and becoming a real advocate, her personal experience tackling the challenges of choice and relying on more than simply faith when coping with personal trauma resulting from her choice. Our friend for life Brendan O'Connell welcomes us to join the conversation with hopes of learning more about Life Matters.
