Segment 3 – Just how badly are the media reporting on the abortion drug issues?

Sarah Zagorski is the Communications Director & Adoption Education Director for Louisiana Right to Life. Sarah’s dedication to the pro-life cause stems from her own personal story of being rescued from an induction abortion and spending nearly eight years in the Louisiana foster care system. At the age of 9 she was adopted by a loving family dedicated to the pro-life movement. In 2012, she graduated from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago with a bachelor’s degree in Communications and Biblical Studies. Her work has been published in the National Review, Washington Examiner, USA Today, and by Focus on the Family. She’s also been featured by Fox and Friends and Fox Digital. 

Segment 4 & 5 – Pope Francis on female deacons: ‘No’
“Pope Francis has once again come out strongly against an ordained female diaconate, reiterating what for the Holy Father has been a consistently firm stance against women becoming clergy. The pope made the remarks this week in an interview with CBS News anchor Norah O’Donnell during an appearance on the network’s flagship magazine program, ’60 Minutes.'”

Deacon Dominic Cerrato is Director of Diaconal Ministries and Director of the Diaconate for the Diocese of Joliet. He is also the Editor of Our Sunday Visitor’s, The Deacon magazine and was chosen by Pope Francis to be a member of the international Papal Commission on Women and the Diaconate.
