From The Median

FROM THE MEDIAN highlights the differences between the two sides of the greatest human rights issue of our time: those defending the right to life for all, and those who are headed in the exact opposite direction – the industries and people that profit from abortion, embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, and euthanasia. The show also highlights the culture behind the progressive movement to secularism and state-ism and provides compelling evidence that the current push for unrestricted debt will cause us to suffer increased poverty and family breakdown.Host Molly Smith, whose name is synonymous with the prolife message in Ohio, encourages listeners to “join me for an hour between the divided highway of the two worldviews that are driving our culture, and ask yourself: ‘Which side of the road am I on? In what direction do I want our culture to go?’ ”FROM THE MEDIAN regularly features national conservative celebrities such as Dinesh D’Souza, Raymond Arroyo, Fr. Frank Pavone, Sta

    “Defending Parental Consent” with Judge David Engler

    “There is a structural conflict within the Ohio Constitution between the abortion amendment passed in November 2023 (Article I, Section 22) and the judicial authority granted under Article IV. While juvenile court judges have historically held the core function of determining if parental consent is necessary for a minor’s abortion, the 2023 amendment eliminates all parental involvement; consequently, a minor in Ohio now needs parental consent for a tattoo, but not for an abortion. My lawsuit asks the Supreme Court to enjoin the amendment and return the language to the ballot commission to be redrafted, clearly informing voters whether they intended to strip away parental rights and long-standing judicial authority.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
