BEHIND THE SCENES
"The increasing hypocrisy in our country — “fake news”, stolen elections and the chipping away of our constitutional freedoms as evidenced in the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision — is beyond alarming. BABY LOVE addresses this growing hypocrisy as it highlights two pressing issues that face girls and women. The first is the rampant aggressive attacks on a woman’s right to choose. The second is the “grooming” of young women in schools — particularly, the classroom and athletics."
-Kate Kelsen, Director of BABY LOVE
