Listening to NPR on my drive through rural Iowa yesterday, I was struck by a discussion about the supposed threat to fertility treatments because of the Dobbs decision reversing Roe v. Wade. Theoretically, the program suggested, in vitro fertilization could become illegal because it involves destroying embryos, and some states have stated that life begins at conception.
The whole discussion struck me as paranoid. And, indeed, both the Biden administration and the left-wing media are fueling this paranoia. They can't deal with the essence of the Dobbs decision -- that abortion is problematic because it involves a potential human life -- so they are running around trying to scare everyone. We're going to lose contraception; women won't be able to travel across state lines; red states are going to spy on personal health data.
On the latter point, the White House is even advising women to delete certain apps from their phones. Pure hysteria.
None of this is going to happen. Republicans are talking about a nationwide ban on abortion -- after 15 weeks, which is more or less the international standard.
The parade of horribles is simply designed to scare people into voting Democrat. Shameful, really.
Today's episode is devoted to the second anniversary of the October 7 terror attacks. It was produced before the announcement of a ceasefire deal, yet remains current & relevant.
Please listen, and #bringthemhome.

This week's portion is a beautiful poem, containing the Covenant between God and the people of Israel. But given the breaking news that Hamas may actually have agreed to release all of the Israeli hostages, I will devote my remarks to that.
One hopes it is true; if so, it makes this week's additional reading, from II Samuel 22, even more relevant: David's song of praise to the Lord for delivering him from the hand of his enemies.
"18 He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
from my foes, who were too strong for me.
19 They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
but the Lord was my support."
So much to focus on this week -- and much breaking news. A peace deal in the Middle East, perhaps? Eric Adams dropping out of the mayor's race? And a looming shutdown as Democrats push their demands beyond absurdity.
Special guests:
- Bradley Jaye - Breitbart News congressional correspondent, on the shutdown
- John Carney - Breitbart News financial editor, on the upcoming jobs report
- Jerome Hudson - Breitbart News entertainment editor, on the Kimmel fallout
- Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on the UN and Gaza talks
