In this episode, Kerry Baldwin was invited on with Keith Knight of the Don’t Tread on Me podcast and the Libertarian Institute. Knight asked Baldwin numerous questions about Christianity and libertarian philosophy. Most of the focus was on the topic of abortion. Can there be an alliance between non-religious and Christian libertarians on the question of abortion? Baldwin thinks so and describes much of the common ground pro-life and pro-choice libertarians have on the issue. Kerry Baldwin also speaks about the book she co-authored called, Faith Seeking Freedom: Libertarian Christian Answers to Tough Questions
