Federalist Radio Hour: ‘The Kylee Cast’ feat. Clare Ath, Ep. 37: Having Babies Is The Most Pro-Planet Thing You Can Do

In this episode of The KylieCast, host Kylie Griswold welcomes Claire Ath, founder of the new Catholic nonprofit Vida et Terra, which champions a conservative Christian approach to conservation. Ath argues that the left has co-opted the language of 'environmentalism' to advance a secular, anti-life agenda that devalues human beings—especially through population control and abortion—while falsely positioning the planet as more important than people. She contends that true conservation is inherently pro-life, rooted in the biblical mandate to have dominion over creation, and that having children is one of the most 'pro-planet' actions a person can take. The conversation also delves into the recent DOJ report exposing systemic persecution of pro-life activists under the Biden administration, including the weaponization of the FACE Act, the unjust targeting of figures like Mark Hoke, and the long-overdue dismissal of charges against journalist David Dillon. Ath emphasizes the need for conservatives to reclaim the language of stewardship and conservation, promote local, sustainable living, and reject both the 'girlboss' and 'tradwife' extremes by embracing a biblically grounded, practical model of work and motherhood that values both family and service. She advocates for remote work, home-based entrepreneurship, and community-driven sustainability as key to building a culture that honors life and the earth.
