Mother Teresa stood at the 1994 National Prayer Breakfast and asked how a country that says a mother may take her own child's life can tell anyone else not to take a life. Three months later she handed a copy of that speech to a young priest in Calcutta and told him to get it to the rest of the American people. That priest was Father Frank Pavone, and this fall Pro-Life Vote is running her words as ads in about a dozen swing districts with large Catholic populations. Jenny Beth Martin and Father Pavone connect the value of human life to the cultural fights of the moment: the Lindsey Clancy trial and the excuses being made for it, Massachusetts removing the last limits on late-term abortion, the antisemitism fight around Ed Sheeran's tour, the Declaration of Independence at 250 as a document that named evil out loud, and why he says believers will turn out in November because they see a choice between good and evil, not just two parties.
Guest: Father Frank Pavone, founder of Priests for Life and of its election arm, Pro-Life Vote.
