Reverend John Stevenson pastors a church in the suburbs of the mid-west. Recently he has decided to speak from the pulpit about the impact of abortion on families—particularly black families. As a husband, father, and spiritual leader, Rev. Stevenson says the church needs to be a place of refuge for people faced with unplanned pregnancies.

Together these guests agree that the church community needs to be educating, supporting, and facilitating programs for women and men who have been touched by abortion.
