Something big changed after Dobbs, and it is not the victory lap many people expected. Chemical abortion and mail-order abortion are expanding fast, and the political fights have shifted from court rulings to enforcement, funding, and whether leaders have the courage to stay on offense. We talk this week with Congressman Mark Harris about why he sees abortion as a life-and-death moral issue rather than a partisan tool, and how his early pastoral work shaped his commitment to protecting the unborn. He gets honest about what he is seeing in the halls of Congress and why he believes the “right time” to protect life is always now.
Mark traces his pro-life convictions back to ministry, not messaging. He tells a story from his early years as a youth minister when a teen couple showed up in crisis, unsure of what to do and afraid of the consequences. That moment led him to a pregnancy resource center and shaped a long-term commitment to combining conviction with practical help for mothers and families. We also talk about what makes people feel safe enough to ask for help and why that trust can be life-changing.
Then we zoom out to the policy reality: the abortion pill, mail order abortion, and federal agency decisions that rarely make the news. Mark shares what he is working on in Washington, including efforts to restrict mail order abortion and to stop taxpayer support flowing to abortion providers. We also unpack why Planned Parenthood defunding efforts stall, how narrow majorities in the Senate change outcomes, and what it means for pro-life voters heading into crucial elections.
