He’s in Rochester as a guest of Nazareth College for a presentation titled, “When Religion Becomes Lethal: The Explosive Mix of Politics and Religion.” He joins us in studio to discuss how in today’s global world, the intersection of religion and politics can have volatile consequences. He’ll discuss what those are, and what he thinks leaders can do to build a healthy society. In studio:

Then in our second hour, we continue our discussions about a possible post-Roe v. Wade world. With the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, pro-life advocates say they are feeling closer than ever to a victory with ending abortion. We talked to a few of them in a previous program. This hour, we’re joined by pro-choice advocates. They’ll share their thoughts on a post-Roe v. Wade world, and what supports they would like to see in place for women that would otherwise have had abortions. In studio:
- Jane Dodds, medical practice manager with 30 years of experience
- Dr. Rachael Phelps, medical director for Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York
- Lauren Deutsch, executive director of the Healthy Baby Network
