Even pro-life critics of Donald Trump credit him with appointing three Supreme Court justices who overturned Roe v Wade. But now Trump is calling further restrictions to abortion a “terrible thing.” Why are pro-life conservatives still overwhelming supporting the ex-President? David French discusses the shifting politics of the pro-life movement, the risk of aligning with Trump, and why abortions are on the rise after overturning Roe. Plus, data shows most Americans have always been ignorant about how their own government is structured and works, so why is civic ignorance now more dangerous than before? French says it’s because the civic ignorance of the citizens has now infected our government leaders as well, and these elites no longer police themselves or defend institutional norms.   0:00 - Theme Song   0:17 - Trump’s comments about abortion   13:57 - Pragmatic ways to reduce abortion   26:05 - A Culture of Hope   31:12 - Sponsor - With God Daily Sign up today at withgoddaily.com   32:14 - Sponsor - Dreamland Baby Go to dreamlandbabyco.com and enter my code HOLYPOST at checkout to receive 20% off sitewide + free shipping   34:11 - Civic Ignorance   1:06:28- End Credits   Other resources: David French: https://twitter.com/DavidAFrench Trump tries to play both sides on abortion https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4219271-trump-tries-to-play-both-sides-on-abortion/   The Importance of Hope in the Pro-Life Movement https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/opinion/abortion-law-reality.html   The articulate ignorance of Vivek Ramaswamy https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/31/opinion/ramaswamy-political-ignorance.html https://www.holypost.com/   Support us and find premium content by going to https://www.patreon.com/holypost   The Holy Post is supported by our listeners.
