On today's episode, Abby tackles the transgender debate, breaking down the "social contagion" and its massive impact on individual lives and culture more broadly.

Christian Post reporter Brandon Showalter joins her to break it all down, explaining how he became one of the most prominent reporters in America to cover the transgender battle, and how Christians should respond "redemptively."

"Something inside me snapped," he said, explaining how learning about gender transitions on children seven years ago sparked his decision to begin covering the topic. "It chilled my blood."

Showalter said he became incredibly disturbed by the surgeries, disfigurement, and medicalization of young people.

"More broadly than just the medical scandal is just how dangerous the ideology is because of how it assaults reality and truth," he said.

Abby Johnson is back with a new season of "Politely Rude!" She's talking abortion, the overturning of Roe, the transgender debate — and more.

"I believe our constitutional rights extend to life in the womb," she proclaims. "The evil continues to shapeshift and change. New things are happening all the time."

On the abortion front, Abby said she was stunned by one recent development: the use of RVs to perform abortions.

"One thing I did not see coming — and I feel like I have a pretty good pulse on what's going on in the abortion movement ... one thing that they have done after Roe has surprised me," she said, noting Planned Parenthood's purported use of these RVs for medical care. "This is back-alley abortion, except you're walking into an RV."
