Teen Births, Increase in Birth Rates, and Talking with Kids about the Culture Framing of the Sanctity of Life

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy addresses the important topic of discussing the right to life with our children. She acknowledges that it can be daunting to navigate this conversation, especially in light of recent abortion bans and their impact on society. However, Dr. Kathy shares some promising news from a University of Houston study that shows an overall increase in fertility rates in Texas following the abortion ban. Specifically, there was a 2% rise in the state's fertility rate. Additionally, the study found a reversal in the decline of teen births in Texas, with slight increases observed among minority populations. This report challenges the media narrative that portrays the abortion ban as negatively impacting teens, but Dr. Kathy thinks there is more happening in this that we need to talk to our kids about. Tune in to this episode to learn how to have meaningful conversations with your kids about the right to life.
