Abortion: what does a just law look like in post-Roe America?
Abortion is an enormously complicated issue. There are so many factors to consider, from the morality of the act itself, to the lives and wellbeing of the unborn child and of the mother. Abortion laws and policies are now taking shape across various states. Much of the media’s attention and public debate has focused on a relatively small number of medical complications during pregnancy, and exceptions to abortion bans. So, what does a just and moral abortion law–one that protects both the unborn child and the mother–look like? In this final episode of season two of Voting Catholic, Sebastian Gomes speaks with three guests about what's at stake in the 2022 midterms regarding abortion: Marcia Lane-McGee is a podcaster and vice president of New Wave Feminists. Jacqui Oesterblad is a recent graduate of Yale Law School, who wrote an article for America titled, We need to talk about ‘life of the mother’ exceptions in abortion law. Richard Doerflinger worked for 36 years at the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. He is a fellow with the De Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame, and an adjunct fellow in Bioethics and Public Policy with the National Catholic Bioethics Center. He wrote an article for America titled, The U.S. bishops aren’t the extremists in the abortion debate.

Have Americans turned guns into religious idols?
Between January and October 2022, more than 500 mass shootings occurred in the United States. And those traumatic events account for only a fraction of the gun violence plaguing the nation. But they also unsettle the consciences of millions of people, and in an election year, that can catapult the question of gun laws and policies to the top of a voter’s priorities. In this episode of Voting Catholic for the 2022 Midterms, Sebastian Gomes speaks to Patrick McCormick, a Professor of Religious Studies at Gonzaga University specializing in Christian and Medical Ethics and Catholic Social Teachings, and to Gustavo García-Siller, the Archbishop of San Antonio who ministered to the victims' families of the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas on May 24, 2022. They explore the data on gun violence, the potential policy questions related to guns, and America's unique attachment to guns which, according to McCormick and Archbishop García-Siller, reveals a form of theological and spiritual idolatry.

Inflation: What Catholics need to know before voting
From gas to groceries, inflation is hammering Americans’ pocketbooks in 2022. Polls show that the economy, specifically inflation, is the top voting issue for Americans. So what does Catholic social teaching have to say about inflation at this critical moment? And what moral and economic questions should Catholic voters be asking of the incumbent Democrats and the Republicans looking to shift the balance of power in Congress? In this first episode of season two of Voting Catholic, Sebastian Gomes speaks to Catherine Orr, a mother of three children in a two-car household, and Tony Annett, an economist and Gabelli Fellow at Fordham University and the author of Cathonomics: How Catholic Tradition Can Create a More Just Economy.
