Roe V Wade is Overturned! What This Means for Adoption S4 Ep. 5

Trigger warning: We will be discussing abortion, pregnancy, birth, and medical procedures that are involved with miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies. We will also discuss rape and other sensitive issues, so please consider that when listening to this episode. We do not recommend children listen to this episode without parents screening it first.

The InstaMommas are celebrating! Praise the Lord! after almost 50 years Roe v. Wade has been overturned! Rachel and Natalie talk about what this means for the adoption community. There is a lot of hate and lies going around on social media and even mainstream media companies about the verdict.

We are not here to argue. We are here to spread awareness and tell the truth about adoption. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns and we want to start and have meaningful conversations that are not just yelling over the internet.
