Shortly before the death of her mother, Megan McArdle uncovered a family secret. Decades prior, her mother had given birth to a son and chose adoption for him. Megan’s journey to locate the brother she never knew prompted her to rethink her mother’s life decisions. It also made her confront abortion as more than just a theoretical political issue.
In a profound conversation, producer Regina de Heer sits down with Megan to explore the decisions her mother faced, the sorrow she endured, and the reasons the debates on abortion and adoption often lack nuance.
