Life Before Roe v. Wade: Ben Stein and Judah Friedman Reflect
Nowadays people rarely talk about it. At the end of the day, it was the Republicans that freed the slaves. It is amazing and it's fantastic, and you can see why the vicious, libelous attacks on justice Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas and some other very, very brave people took place, because some smart person at Planned Parenthood must have made it quite clear that it's not these guys you have to worry about.
Ever wondered what life was like before the landmark decision of Roe v. Wade? In this episode of 'The World According to Ben Stein', hosts Ben Stein and Judah Friedman take a thoughtful journey back in time. They explore the historical context of the Supreme Court ruling, shedding light on the societal and political landscape that shaped it.
The conversation doesn't stop there; Ben and Judah delve into the courage it took for the justices to follow the Constitution, even at great personal risk. They draw parallels to modern times, discussing how some historical patterns, like the misuse of science by the Nazis, seem to be repeating today. This episode isn't just about legal history; it's about understanding the broader implications of decisions that have shaped our society.
The hosts also touch on the importance of being present in therapy, knowing history, and valuing community and human connection. Ben's reflections on media influence and political debates add another layer of depth to the discussion. If you're interested in a nuanced and engaging conversation that blends history, politics, and personal insights, this episode is a must-listen.
