Is the Bible really anti-abortion? Ever wondered what it’s like inside a fundamentalist evangelical gathering?
Strap in for a thought-provoking episode of The Cheeky Scholar as we sit down with Dr. Myev Rees, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies, to uncover the complex layers behind evangelical movements in the U.S. We pull back the curtain on their origins and evolution into a system that impacts education, family dynamics, and reproductive choices. Myev shares her firsthand experiences from evangelical gatherings, including The Institute of Basic Life Principles conference, revealing the strict disciplinary practices and controversial teachings that permeate conservative Christian households.

Reality TV’s role in mainstreaming conservative values takes center stage as we dissect the portrayal of hyper-conservative families in shows like the Duggars in TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting.” Myev and I explore how these sanitized depictions influence societal norms and potentially propel fringe beliefs into the mainstream. We then navigate the contentious history of evangelical anti-abortion stances and the rise of the religious right, shedding light on the intersection of religion, politics, and media.
From evangelical activism to the strategic adoption of abortion as a political tool, this episode offers a rich, nuanced perspective on how deeply intertwined these elements are in shaping contemporary America.
