The Children's Rights Movement with Katy Faust
Manage episode 434033011 series 3581174
In this episode of the "From the Frontline" podcast, Cole Muzio is joined by Katy Faust, a formidable advocate for children's rights and author of "Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City." Katy discusses the complex issues surrounding in vitro fertilization (IVF), the impact of modern reproductive technologies on children's rights, and the necessity of a child-centric approach in policy-making. They delve into the philosophical and ethical implications of IVF and how current policies affect the very definition of what it means to be human.
- IVF often involves the destruction of embryos and the commodification of children, making it incompatible with a pro-life position.
- The Republican Party's embrace of IVF as a pro-life technology is concerning and goes against the principles of protecting children's rights.
- The church plays a crucial role in advocating for children's rights and should develop a biblical worldview on life and family.
- Speaking up for the least of these and defending children's rights is a Christian witness that goes beyond political calculations.
- Reclaiming a biblical worldview on life and family requires speaking in the positive and championing the design and purpose of marriage and family.
