STEVE LANCE
HOST
Aaron, Holly, thank you so much for joining us. And thanks for having me. Great to be here. Of course. Aaron, I want to get your thoughts when it comes to the DOJ stance on pro life activist. What would you say the implications are for civil liberties right now in our country?

SENIOR COUNSEL, ALLIANCE DEFENDING FREEDOM
So I think it's deeply concerning. If you look at the way the Biden administration's DOJ has approached pro life issues, it has been entirely one sided.

And yet we don't see the Biden administration taking an interest in protecting pregnancy care centers.
2. GOP DISAGREEMENT OVER PRO-LIFE BILLS
You know, this issue is obviously front and center with election season. I want to get your thoughts, are you surprised by some of the pushback that we've seen on spending proposals from some moderate Republicans on pro life legislation?

We all have inherent dignity and worth regardless of status or color of our skin or or any of these characteristics and something that that all Republicans really all legislators should be able to agree on, is that every person matters. And that happens before you're born as well. So every person deserves the most basic of rights, the right to life and that that really should be foundational.
3. ABORTION PILL RULINGS NOW A FLASHPOINT
I want to get your thoughts on these abortion pills that become a major Flashpoint since the dobs decision overturning Roe vs. Wade, what what is your opinion on these, these pills.
So they're inherently dangerous, as you're probably aware, the Fifth Circuit struck down
