Is Right to Life a State or Federal Issue?

Should abortion be a state or federal issue? That’s the big question in America right now. One political platform wants to enshrine abortion in federal law. The other says it’s a state issue.

So, what’s the truth? Should pro-lifers fight to ban abortion at a federal level? Or should this be handled state by state? After all, murder is a state crime not a federal one. And what can pro-lifers truly hope to accomplish in today’s political climate?

We unpack these questions (and more!) on today’s podcast episode with Fr. Boquet. We also discuss whether or not Catholics could support a 15-week federal ban on abortion.
