the brief he prepared for the Supreme Court Dobbs case. The brief, submitted on behalf of a diverse coalition of groups and leaders including Hispanics and African-Americans

Episode 17: Fr. Frank discusses with Hannah Strege and her parents
the historic brief she submitted, as the first human being to have been successfully thawed as a frozen embryo, adopted, implanted, and brought to birth. She is “Snowflake Baby No. 1” and argues in her brief that her story, and the similar cases of many children like her, shows that with modern technology, the “viability” of children outside the womb actually begins at fertilization.

Episode 16: Fr. Frank discusses with Teresa Collett, JD, the three briefs
she prepared for the Dobbs case. In the first, she argues that the Court needs to avoid the broad health exception
that has allowed unlimited abortion. In the second she shows how current abortion policy has interfered with the Constitutional rights of parents
. And in the third, some 240 women who are professionals and scholars argue that the Court erred gravely in assuming that women rely on abortion to advance in society

Episode 15: Fr. Frank discusses with Mike Ciccocioppo and Maria Gallagher of the Pennsylvania ProLife Federation
the brief they prepared for the Supreme Court, which focuses on the fact that it is not Roe vs. Wade that made abortion safer, but rather medical progress
. Medical safety is not an obstacle to reversing Roe.

.

Episode 13: Fr. Frank interviews Peter Breen, Vice President of the Thomas More Society
, about the three briefs he was involved in preparing. One of them speaks of the history of abortion law
in America, another about the science

that if babies in the womb are valuable enough for their body parts to be sold by the abortion industry, they are valuable enough to be protected.

, about the brief of Care Net and Alpha Center
, making the argument that abortion is not the exercise of a right but the relinquishing of a right, namely, that of a mother to her relationship with her child, and that the current abortion regime does not protect that right.
