  • How Texas Took on Abortion Pills Crossing State Lines Senator Bryan Hughes
    Mar 19 2026

    Abortion pills are being shipped across state lines, bypassing abortion restrictions. Can states stop it? On this episode of Dear Jane, Scott and Marcie discuss a new Texas law aimed at holding abortion providers accountable for mailing abortion pills into the state and putting Texas women and children in harm’s way. Joined by Texas State Senator Bryan Hughes, they unpack the strategy behind the legislation, the challenges posed by shield laws in other states, and what other states can learn from Texas’ approach.

  • Parents Shocked by Message Hidden in New Kids’ Book
    Mar 12 2026

    A new children’s book is raising serious concerns among parents and educators. Critics say it presents a controversial adult decision as a kind of “superpower,” and the message is reaching very young readers.

    On this episode, we sit down with attorney and life issues analyst Nicole Hunt to examine how certain storybooks introduce complex adult themes to children under the language of empowerment and personal freedom.

    They discuss:

    • How messaging aimed at young readers can shape beliefs early

    • Why some activists are focusing on children’s media

    • The language used in modern storybooks to frame difficult decisions

    • What this trend could mean for the next generation

    Is this simply storytelling, or something more intentional?

    Watch the full conversation as they unpack the messaging behind the pages and the growing debate about what children are being taught through modern media.

  • Puerto Rico’s New Personhood Law…But Abortion Is Still Legal? + New York’s Latest Pro-Abortion Bills
    Mar 5 2026

    Grab your coffee because Scott and Marcie are catching you up on the pro-life headlines everyone’s talking about. First up: Puerto Rico just passed a law recognizing unborn babies as human beings… but abortion is still legal. So what does the law actually do? Is this an incremental win worth celebrating, or a symbolic step that changes very little? Scott and Marcie break down what it means, why some are calling it progress, and why others aren’t so sure.

    Then they head north to New York, where lawmakers in this deep-blue state have introduced a slate of bills that will make your head spin. From targeting pregnancy help centers (again), to shielding abortion data from insurance oversight, and eliminating state-sponsored travel to pro-life states, these proposals raise serious questions about transparency and just how far abortion extremism is driving public policy.

  • New pro-life tech debate sparks OUTRAGE
    Feb 26 2026

    When USA Today published a critical feature on Olive, the first pro-life AI chatbot, it signaled something bigger than media skepticism. It signaled impact.

    In this episode, Nelly Roach, Founder and CEO of Choose Life Marketing, explains how Olive engages women at the exact moment they search for abortion online. Instead of being funneled exclusively toward abortion providers, women encounter immediate, private, life-affirming support and direct connection to local pregnancy centers.

    This conversation covers:

    • How abortion-related search traffic shapes decisions

    • Why AI matters in digital abortion outreach

    • What early engagement data is revealing

    • How pregnancy centers can compete in a search-driven culture

    • The ethical debate surrounding pro-life technology

    Abortion is no longer only a legal or political fight. It is a digital one. Search engines, online ads, and AI-driven tools influence outcomes long before a woman walks into a clinic.

    Olive was built to operate in that space with precision and scale. If you care about pro-life strategy, digital marketing, pregnancy center growth, and the future of life-affirming outreach, this episode is essential.

  • Is the Trump Admin really pro-life?
    Feb 5 2026

    Everyone says the Trump administration was pro-life. But when you actually look at the policies on IVF, the abortion pill, and Planned Parenthood funding, the story gets uncomfortable fast. On today’s Dear Jane Podcast, Scott and Marcie break down what really happened—and ask the question many refuse to: Was the Trump administration protecting life… or quietly weakening it? Fair warning: the facts don’t land where you expect. #prolifenews

  • Should Women Who Have Abortions Go to Prison? | Part 2
    Jan 29 2026

    Should women be criminally punished for abortion?

    Dear Jane is back for 2026, and Part 2 of this two-part conversation goes straight into one of the most uncomfortable debates inside the pro-life movement. Hosts Scott and Marcie sit down with Clark Forsythe of Americans United for Life to unpack why holding women legally responsible isn’t as simple—or as effective—as some think.

    They talk honestly about what’s changed in a post–abortion pill world, why self-managed abortions complicate everything, and which laws actually reduce abortion versus the ones that sound strong but miss the mark. This isn’t theory. It’s history, law, and real-world consequences—all on the table.

    If you’ve ever wondered where accountability should land, how women are truly impacted, or where the movement goes from here… this episode is for you.
