The IVF Alternative No One Told You About | Emma Waters
Infertility? IVF is not the only option. In this episode of The Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse Show, Dr. J sits down with Emma Waters of The Heritage Foundation to discuss IVF, infertility, donor conception, surrogacy, frozen embryos, and restorative reproductive medicine — a humane alternative that seeks to treat the underlying causes of infertility rather than ignore or bypass them.

They also discuss the larger cultural picture: the separation of sex, babies, and marriage; the ethics of donor conception and surrogacy; the trauma of frozen embryos; the Alabama IVF case; the question of whether anyone has a “right to a child”; and why the pro-life movement must take reproductive technology seriously.

The Gay Parenting Study THEY BURIED

The Gay Parenting Study THEY BURIED
They said the kids would be fine. But what if the research tells a very different story? In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse examines the gay parenting research that was buried — including a peer-reviewed study reporting that children with same-sex married parents had over four times the rate of serious emotional problems compared with children raised by a married mother and father. Dr. Morse walks through how an earlier “no differences” study was later reanalyzed, why the biological parenthood variable matters, and how corrections to the data changed the results. She also explains the important uncovering research by Fr. Paul Sullins and why families deserve honest answers about same-sex parenting, children’s emotional well-being, and the long-term consequences of redefining marriage. The science about same-sex parenting is not nearly as settled as you’ve been led to believe. 📄 FREE REPORT — Refuting the Top 5 Gay Myths: https://ruthinstitute.org/ruthnewsletter/ Related video mentioned: What They Didn’t Predict About Gay Marriage https://youtu.be/sHhjxiMq9fk Studies and sources discussed: Fr.

The buried gay parenting study and why better data changes the picture

The buried gay parenting study and why better data changes the picture
Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse joins the show to unpack a study on children raised in same sex households that she says was buried because its findings did not match the conclusions some researchers wanted. The conversation focuses on how earlier claims that “the kids are fine” were built on weak samples, and why newer, more representative data has produced very different results. We also discuss Mark Regnerus’s work, how ideology can shape the use of social science data, and why statistical methods like multiverse analysis matter when researchers choose what to include, exclude, or redefine. Key topics In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse explains why she believes the latest video from the Ruth Institute exposes a suppressed study on gay parenting. She says the original “kids are fine” narrative relied heavily on small, nonrandom samples, including early studies based on 26 couples and other convenience samples. Morse contrasts those older studies with newer, larger, more representative datasets that she says show more serious emotional difficulties among children of same sex parents. She discusses Father Paul Sullens’s role in reexamining a 2016 study and pushing researchers to revisit their conclusions. The conversation revisits Mark Regnerus’s 2012 research on adult children from same sex households and the criticism he faced before his findings were later vindicated. Morse explains the difference between asking parents how their children are doing and asking adult children about their own outcomes after leaving the household. She argues that once government and census-style datasets became available, the earlier consensus about “no differences” became much less secure. The discussion turns to ideological bias in academia, with Morse warning that claims like “the science is settled” can be used to shut down questions rather than answer them. She connects the broader problem of relativism and ideological capture to medicine, law, and the public interpretation of data. Morse closes by describing how multiverse analysis can test whether a result holds up across many possible analytic choices, and why that kind of checking matters for controversial social science.

He Wanted His Baby. No One Cared About His Grief.

He Wanted His Baby. No One Cared About His Grief.
What happens when a father loses a child to abortion—but is told his grief doesn’t matter? Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse discusses the powerful story of Sean Corcoran, who was 19 when his girlfriend became pregnant. Sean wanted to care for their child, and his parents even offered to adopt the baby, but the abortion went forward. In the aftermath, he found little acknowledgment or support for his grief. Dr. Morse explores what Sean’s experience reveals about abortion, fatherhood, masculinity, and a culture that often overlooks the emotional impact abortion can have on men. The conversation also examines the broader consequences of dismissing grief and denying the importance of the bonds between parents and children.

Inside the SPLC Scandal: How Money, Politics, and Violence Are Intertwined | Free Expressions
Most people underestimate just how deeply the Southern Poverty Law Center influences the political and social landscape — until now. In this eye-opening episode, Jennifer Roback Morris exposes shocking allegations: billions in offshore bank accounts, orchestrated violent events, and the SPLC’s disturbing role in censoring and financially damaging genuine conservative and Christian organizations. This is a behind-the-scenes look at a supposed civil rights organization gone rogue, with potential criminal charges on the horizon. You'll discover: how the SPLC's financial dealings raise serious questions about transparency and intent, including links to offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands worth nearly a billion dollars. We break down how their controversial tactics—using informants and orchestrating violent protests—have fueled violence, distorted public perception, and unjustly targeted innocent groups like the Ruth Institute. Jennifer shares insights into the consequences of being wrongly labeled a hate group, from losing credit card processing to being blocked from monetizing YouTube channels—actions that threaten free expression and Christian advocacy. You'll also learn about the recent legal developments: federal charges in Alabama, the potential for indictments, and what this could mean for the future of organizations like the SPLC. Jennifer discusses whether this is a turning point for conservative voices, and how corporate America’s stance might shift as transparency and accountability come to the forefront. This episode offers urgent clarity for anyone concerned about free speech, religious liberty, and the abuse of power by big NGOs.

In this emotional episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback-Morris shares how she’s celebrated her daughter’s touching tribute, revealing what truly matters to children: presence, love, and faith. You’ll discover why the sacrifices of motherhood are often invisible but irreplaceable, and how these quiet moments forge lifelong bonds in a way no career achievement can match.

Dr. Mores discusses the spiritual and societal consequences of eroding the language and institutions that nurture children — and why protecting the reality of mother and father is more critical than ever. With heartfelt stories from her own life, Dr. Jennifer Roback-Morse emphasizes that the best years of her life were spent loving her children at home — not in academic or professional pursuits. She advocates for women to cherish the opportunity to nurture, teach, and simply be there, because children only get one childhood, and their need for their mother’s presence is irreplaceable.

The Scientific Evidence That People Can Change Their Sexual Orientation | Father Paul Sullins on Catholic Connection
This episode dives into recent legal battles, including the Supreme Court's landmark decision affirming therapists' right to help clients reconcile their feelings with their faith. We explore the dangerous parallels to other cultural issues like abortion and transgender rights, revealing how the push to silence dissent is less about science and more about imposing a restrictive moral order. Father Sullins discusses studies demonstrating that those who undergo efforts to diminish unwanted attractions often experience psychological benefits, including reduced suicidality, contrary to mainstream claims. You'll discover: how scientific data, from reputable studies by Diamond, Spitzer, and others, proves that change is possible and common; the real history of how therapy for unwanted same-sex attraction was eliminated from mental health guidelines; and how current laws threaten the freedom of religious and mental health professionals to serve their clients ethically. This is essential listening for anyone concerned about the growing suppression of what science and morality actually say about human sexuality—and why preserving the right to help those who want it is a moral imperative.
