The Ultimate Question: Who Counts — and Who Decides

Season 2026 | 3m 38s

It's the final question for BREAKING the DEADLOCK: A Matter of Life and Death. Panelists clash over freedom’s meaning and the government's role in life-and-death choices. Is freedom lawless, God-given, or state-protected? From abortion to autonomy, the debate exposes deep divides on who counts—and who decides, and the need to keep talking about these very difficult matters.
