The Final Choice Podcast

“We are offering sanctuary and serenity, and a safe harbour where people can peacefully make their own choice. Opponents will do and say just about anything to undermine it.”
“It runs against every benefit of the law that protects human life that we have had in our country since the legal system was established.”
