In this episode, your lovely hosts tackle the topic of abortion. They start out by discussing the latest Texas abortion ban and then circle back to the beginning of human history to track the legacy of abortions through time.  Once the history of abortion has been sufficiently addressed, they delve into what religious institutions have thought about it throughout time, the precise year that the Catholic Church decided to care, and what the actual scripture even says about it. Maggie's favourite phrase "woman box" makes an appearance, Theo gets to find out what the quickening is, and Bridget references a project she did for a class she flunked in high school.
