Kristan Hawkins: The Unspoken Health & Wellness Impacts of Abortion

In this deeply personal and thought-provoking conversation, Claudia sits down with Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America, to explore abortion through a lens that isn't often discussed—the physical, emotional, and spiritual aftermath many women experience.

This episode isn't about pushing an agenda. It's about asking questions that often go unanswered in mainstream conversations and inviting nuance into a topic that's usually black and white.

Together, we explore:

• What women wish they knew before having an abortion

• Physical and hormonal side effects that are rarely talked about

• Why emotional and spiritual healing is just as important as physical recovery

• The growing role of abortion pills—and the concerns around their impact on young women

• How we can better support women and children in a society that often fails both

• How to have respectful, faith-informed conversations in a world that can feel hostile to differing views

Whether you agree with Kristan's stance or not, this episode is an invitation to listen with curiosity and compassion. You may not walk away with all the answers—but you'll definitely walk away with a broader perspective.
