In this lively episode of Right to Life Radio, host John Gerardi and guest Jonathan Keller tackle the heated debate surrounding California’s AB 1453, a bill proposing that UC and CSU student health centers provide adoption information. Through sharp commentary and legislative audio clips, they expose the fierce opposition from pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and UC representatives, who claim offering adoption info is “non-compassionate.” Gerardi passionately argues that pro-abortion forces have systematically diminished adoption’s cultural role since Roe v. Wade, contributing to fewer adoptions and the closure of agencies like Infant of Prague. With humor, personal anecdotes from an Easter vigil, and a nod to Gerardi's National Review piece, the episode blends wit with a sobering look at the state of adoption and abortion policy in California.
