This conversation explores the alarming parallels between the dystopian world depicted in 'The Handmaid's Tale' and the real-life implications of Project 2025, a plan by the Heritage Foundation to impose a Christian nationalist agenda in America. The discussion highlights the historical context of maternity homes and adoption practices, particularly focusing on the Liberty Godparent Home at Liberty University, which has been accused of coercing young women into giving up their babies for adoption. The conversation emphasizes the intersection of abortion bans and adoption practices, the experiences of women in these homes, and the urgent need for legislative reform to protect vulnerable women.
