What The Laity Can Do To Defend Life | with Fr. Frank Pavone

Father #FrankPavone of Priests for Life joins me for a very important conversation. We discuss how his ministry started and all the great things that Priests For Life does to fight for the sanctity of life. We also discuss what the laity can do to fight for the most innocent. Fr. Pavone also discusses what we can do to support those who have had an #abortion. It is a fascinating conversation that we all need to hear.
