June 2017: “Prayer Walks”, Abortion Clinic Buffers, and Pride Month

In this episode we talk about Gov. Bevin’s proposed prayer walks to address crime in the west end, the proposal of a safety buffer zone at the EMW Women’s Surgical Center — the final operating abortion clinic in Kentucky, and, in recognition of Pride Month, the issues of the LGBTQ community and how we can support them.
