The Truth about Abortion: How We Got Here & What Your Family Needs to Know | S6 E2

The Family Business with The Alessis

Note to Parents: This episode contains graphic descriptions of the procedures and medical facts concerning abortion. We strongly advise using discretion in sharing this with young children.
For decades, the abortion debate has been a flashpoint of passion and division in our society - precisely because it is so much more than words and arguments.
It strikes at the very heart of what it means to build a family.
Here at The Family Business with The Alessis, we believe strongly in empowering families with the truth so they can build a generational legacy, so we have prepared a 2-part series on this topic to give you the best foundation and information as things stand now, especially after the overturning of Roe. V. Wade in 2022.
To help navigate this complex topic, we are blessed to welcome a family friend and expert on the laws, history and ideological concepts around the abortion industry - Cristina M. Squiers.
Cristina has a long, deep friendship with the Alessi family, and has risen to the top of her field as a ligitator and counsel in cases involving pro-life causes and the abortion industry. Today, she sits down with several of the young ladies in the Alessi family to dig deeper into how this issue affects women and families beyond the soundbites and political chatter.
Cristina Squiers graduated from Princeton University and was a recipient of the University's ReachOut Fellowship. During her fellowship year, Cristina worked at the nation's largest adoption agency and started a mentoring program for youth leaving foster care. She received her J.D. from Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law where she served as Editor-in-Chief of the SMU Law Review and interned for Catharina Haynes of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She now practices law in Dallas, TX and is married to her husband Dr. Jack Squiers. Together they have 3 children and are expecting their fourth. .
