159: Margaret Sanger vs. John Paul II: A Battle for Women’s Freedom | Dr. Sarah Denny Lorio

Nov 13, 2024

In this episode, I welcome bioethicist, Dr. Sarah Denny Lorio to explore Margaret Sanger’s and John Paul II’s wildly different views on women’s freedom and health. We unpack Sanger’s drive, the birth control movement, and why she’s such a divisive figure. Then, we look at John Paul II’s powerful alternative: a view of freedom rooted in dignity, mutual respect, and honoring the differences between men and women. Together, we imagine what a “third way” in sex education could look like—one that blends awareness of our bodies with the values of respect and responsibility. This conversation will leave you rethinking what true freedom means for women today!
