Ep 921 | To the Texas Mom Suing to Abort Her Baby  
Podcast: Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey
Published On: Tue Dec 12 2023
Description: Today we're talking about a few hot topics, starting with a Texas mother who is fighting to abort her child, who was diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder that is often, though not always, fatal. A Texas judge initially granted her the ability to kill her child, but the Texas Supreme Court halted the order, barring her from aborting. We explain why we don't have empathy for her decision to cross state lines to abort her baby and why toxic empathy is a detriment to society. Then, we discuss Shane Dawson and Ryland Adams, who famously joked about their babies having barcodes after they posted a photo of their twin boys born via surrogacy this week. We also look at the plagiarism accusations against Harvard president Claudine Gay and a rare win for the Cut after the outlet published an article arguing for people to have kids despite the "doom" of climate change. --- Timecodes: (03:10) Texas mother seeks abortion (24:55) Shane Dawson's surrogate babies (40:45) Harvard's Claudine Gay antisemitism & plagiarism (47:30) 'The Cut' article on having children --- Today's Sponsors: Good Ranchers — get 10% OFF your box today at GoodRanchers.com – make sure to use code 'ALLIE' when you subscribe.
