About

Just a couple of South Carolina moms

Jessica Ethridge and Kasie Whitener are South Carolina residents and members of the Libertarian Party in the United States. Politically active moms, Jessica and Kasie wanted to bring a voice to the experiences of raising children in the light of individual liberty, freedom, and compassion for others. They started Parenting Porcupines on YouTube to deliver podcast-like conversations to those who are curious what raising children in a spirit of individuality and freedom really requires. You’ll find here the patience, the persistence, and the ideology of liberty. And some funny mom stories, too.

We occasionally bring other Libertarian moms online with us including Melissa Couture, county chairperson and candidate in Charleston, and Alex Thornton, candidate and mom to the youngest-ever member of the Libertarian Party.
