Today we talk about the horrendous story coming out of the U.K. of 8-month-old Indi Gregory, who was forced off of life support by the British government despite her parents' pleas for treatment. This, unfortunately, is not a unique occurrence, as it has now happened to multiple babies and children in the U.K. The Italian government even stepped in for baby Indi, offering full citizenship and full coverage of medical expenses, only for the U.K. government to reject the offer and force her to die instead. Then, life seems to be a losing issue in Ohio and Kentucky as we review the results of the recent elections that saw big wins for abortion. We go over what this means for these states and look at the responses from those pleading for conservatives to compromise on the pro-life issue in order to actually win elections. We explain why compromising just isn't an option, especially when the other side wouldn't dream of compromising. Then, RFK Jr. was spotted recently on a flight ... barefoot? We read our official statement on this horrific incident and theorize about what it might mean for his campaign. --- Timecodes: (00:55) Encouragement / influencer culture (08:45) Baby Indi's death (25:35) Abortion elections in Ohio & Kentucky (42:38) Arguing for abortion compromise (52:26) RFK Jr's barefoot on a plane --- Today's Sponsors: My Patriot Supply — prepare yourself for anything with long-term emergency food storage.

The first time Sonia Vallabh understood something was very wrong with her mother Kamni was on the phone on her mom's 52nd birthday. She wasn't herself. By the end of that year, after about six months on life support, Kamni had died.

The disease she died from would upend Sonia and her husband Eric's lives, and send them on a careening journey toward a completely new calling: to prevent or cure the disease that's stalking Sonia's family." Sonia Vallabh and Eric Minikel join Short Wave to tell their story in this second of three episodes on prion disease.
