Could society's reaction to Susan Smith's parole bid change how we view abortion?" In this episode of "More Than Medicine," my daughter Hannah Miller (the Host of The Hannah Miller Show Podcast) and I delve into the infamous 1994 case of Susan Smith. As Smith faces parole after 30 years in prison for the deaths of her two young sons, we dissect the public's heated response to her potential release. We then draw a controversial comparison to the actions of women who seek abortions, questioning why societal attitudes towards maternal responsibility differ so starkly in these cases.

Next, we explore a provocative argument for equal justice for unborn children, advocating for their right to the same legal protections as any citizen. Using biblical and constitutional perspectives, we compare abortion to high-profile murder cases, proposing that those who perform abortions should face similar legal repercussions. We tackle complex objections, such as pregnancies resulting from rape, and emphasize the importance of a fair judicial system to navigate these sensitive issues, supported by scriptural affirmations of pre-born personhood.

Lastly, we shine a spotlight on the inspiring journey of Allison Felix, whose advocacy for nursing mothers at the Olympics broke new ground. From her secretive training during pregnancy to securing landmark sponsorships, Felix's efforts led to crucial accommodations for female athletes. We reflect on the broader significance of her advocacy, celebrating her courage and the collective support from fellow athletes. This episode underscores the necessity of supporting women in sports during pregnancy and motherhood, while honoring Felix’s pivotal role in challenging outdated norms. Join us for these compelling discussions and much more.
