Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the controversial South Carolina Bill, H.3549, aiming to criminalize abortion and potentially impose the death penalty on women undergoing the procedure. This extreme proposition sparks a heated conversation about reproductive rights and the role of government in personal choices, with a particular focus on the conservative South Carolina Freedom Caucus.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Vitagliano v. County of Westchester. The case centers on Debra Vitagliano, a devout Catholic occupational therapist facing legal barriers to engaging in sidewalk counseling with women considering abortion due to a new law in Westchester County, New York. This segment delves into the intersection of religious freedom, compassionate outreach, and the legal limits imposed on such activities.
About the Show: Faith & Politics is a show dedicated to discussing issues surrounding the intersection of Church, State and politics and the examination of whether you are allowing your faith to shape your politics or your politics starting to shape your faith. What do you do when God and government come face to face?
