Did Pro-Life Laws Kill Amber Thurman?
The tragic death of Amber Thurman is once again being dishonestly exploited to promote extreme abortion policies, this time by Tim Walz during Wednesday’s vice presidential debate. Not only did Walz lie about the facts of Thurman’s death, but he also made the false suggestion that she would have been alive if Roe hadn’t been overturned. In this episode we correct the lies he told, and explain the real cause of Amber Thurman’s death. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia

A Republic Collapsing into the Banality of Evil
Earlier this week a second assassination attempt was made on the life of President Donald Trump.

The Dangers of Christian Ministers Politicising Their Pastoral Vocation
Earlier this week the mainstream media lit up with stories about a new public statement signed by over 400 Christian leaders, demanding that an unreleased Government Bill be scrapped before the public could even have their say on the matter. In this podcast I scrutinise the claims made by these church leaders, discuss the prudence of this approach, and, most importantly, consider the serious pastoral risks in what has happened here. ✅ Become a $5 Patron at: www.Patreon.com/LeftFootMedia ❤️Leave a one-off tip at: www.ko-fi.com/leftfootmedia
