True Genius: The Mission of Women in Church and Culture, Part 7: The Female Body and a Culture of Life

November 20, 2025 • Think ND

Episode Topic: The Female Body and a Culture of Life

Is the belief that women's rights conflict with the rights of the unborn a modern invention? Melissa Moschella, professor of the practice at the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame, challenges the narrative, arguing that true respect for women and their bodies is inextricably linked to the protection of pre-born life.
