As Roe Crumbles, We Look to the Road Ahead - Part 1 with Guest Janet Porter

After "Roe v. Wade" crumbled to the ground on June 24, 2022, nearly 20 states passed laws protecting unborn babies. On today’s edition of Family Talk, Janet Porter, the architect behind The Heartbeat Bill, rejoices that so many states have protected babies. A federal Heartbeat bill would protect children in the womb, even in the darkest blue states like California, Michigan, and New York. Proverbs 24:11 commands us to “rescue those being carried away to slaughter.” The church needs to rise up now and be a voice for the voiceless.

About Today's Guest: Janet Porter
Janet Porter is the founder of Faith2Action and the architect of the pro-life Heartbeat Bill, which ensures that "if a heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected." Heartbeat bills have been introduced in 30 states and have been passed by 14 of them. Ms. Porter chronicled her decade-long battle to save babies in her book, "A Heartbeat Away." She played a role in amplifying the pro-life message during a decades long fight against the pro-abortion industry. Her efforts were vital in expanding public awareness of God’s design for the beginning of life, which undergirded the overturning of Roe v. Wade and moved the fight for life from the Supreme Court back to the states. Previously, Janet served as legislative director of Ohio Right to Life, where she successfully lobbied for the passage of the nation's first partial-birth abortion ban. She also worked as national director of the Center for Reclaiming America, founded by Dr. D. James Kennedy, where she initiated the "Truth in Love Campaign," featuring ex-homosexuals in newspaper and television ads. She has appeared on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360, Fox and Friends, NBC's Today Show, ABC Evening News, 20/20, Nightline, and CBS This Morning.
