Abortion pills now account for a majority of all abortions in the United States. But even many pro-lifers don’t know how they work, why they’re so dangerous, or where they’re legal in the post-Roe world. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we break down what every pro-lifer needs to know about abortion pills in 2025.…

Voters in a number of conservative states have enshrined a right to abortion in their state constitutions. How could this happen? A recent piece in Reason magazine makes a compelling case that the overturning of Roe v. Wade was an inflection point in which pro-lifers suddenly and decisively turned against their pro-life convictions. Is that true? I…

Thanksgiving banter ends at 28:50 This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for the 25,000th baby saved from abortion at a 40 Days for Life vigil (that we know of!), 10 abortion facilities closed this year, and big wins for abortion-vulnerable moms in this month's elections.

On part two of our 4th-trimester abortion series, we continue responding to pro-abortion politicians' claims that late-term abortion and infanticide simply don't happen. That's right. Not only do late-term abortions and infanticide take place, but we needed TWO entire episodes to document the evidence.…

On this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss fourth-trimester abortion, which--. Wait, what? Fourth-trimester abortions? There are only three trimesters of pregnancy. True. But infanticide is increasingly in vogue among abortion supporters. Pro-abortion politicians claim infanticide doesn't exist, so we'll discuss the what, wh…

According to a recent Gallup Poll, the crisis at the southern border is one the most pressing challenges facing America. While politicians on both sides of the aisle continue to argue about the issue, pro-lifers know that there is more to immigration than meets the eye. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast we take a closer look at the in…

Banter ends at 10:25 Pro-life signs are a powerful tool for saving lives in front of an abortion facility. But not all of them. Many signs brought to a pro-life vigil are well-intentioned…but they’re not going to help you get the most out of your presence. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at five signs that don’t help…

When we hit the sidewalk to pray for an end to abortion, it’s critical to be rooted in God’s word—especially if we want to be effective instruments of the Lord. Jesus tells us, “The sower sows the word. … Those sown on rich soil are the ones who hear the word and accept it and bear fruit thirty and sixty and a hundredfold.” On this episode of The 4…

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we’ll teach you how to defuse this silly critique quickly and painlessly.…

Population control advocates and climate alarmists have spent decades warning that the world is overpopulated. But in recent years, we’ve seen a seismic sociological shift as the world awakens to the reality that the real crisis is underpopulation. What appeared to be a fringe position just a few years ago has entered the mainstream thanks to alter…

November's election will have massive consequences for abortion-vulnerable moms and babies in America--and around the world. What's the best-case scenario? How about the worst?

Are struggling 40 Days for Life vigils worth the trouble? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a deep-dive into YOUR burning questions! Have a question you'd like answered o…

For years, abortion advocates have insisted that pro-life laws kill women, but more than two years after the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, they still can’t name one woman killed by pro-life protections for unborn children. That hasn’t stopped pro-abortion media from insisting that childbirth is dangerous…even more dangerous than abortion. …

After the chaos of 2020, the 2024 election cycle appeared to be a bit of a snoozer...until this month. A former (and perhaps future) president was shot. The sitting president was forced out of the race. Meanwhile, Donald Trump picked millenial JD Vance as his running mate while Kamala Harris searches for her VP candidate. What will August bring? On…

Independence Day is a celebration of a country founded on the premise that EVERY human being is endowed by the Creator with the unalienable rights to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

And more importantly, how are they NOT responding? Wil…

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we talk to Dwight about how his desire to serve his country broug…

We hear it every Memorial Day, Veterans’ Day, and 4th of July: “Heroic men and women died defending our freedom.” But we can’t let it become merely a platitude. The heroes who gave their lives for our freedom are not statistics; they are real men and women cut down in their primes to preserve our freedom. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Pod…

Progressivism run amuck has led honest liberals to do some self-assessment and to acknowledge that maybe people of faith get some things right. Enter Bill Maher. The hardline atheist comedian and talk show host has rarely had a kind word for people of faith. But as Woke culture collides with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Maher sounds like a pro-l…

The overturning of Roe v. Wade two years ago moved the abortion debate to the grassroots level...and to the courtroom.

Pro-lifers' ultimate goal is to make sure that all children—born and unborn—are recognized as full and equal members of the human race.

Recently, the New York Times reported that Donald Trump is considering pursuing a 16-week abortion ban with exceptions for rape, incest, and life-of-the-mother should he win November’s presidential election. Any sort of nationwide protections for unborn babies might sound like music to pro-lifers’ ears…but this isn’t exactly good news for abortion-…

Pro-abortion states have made a lot of noise about becoming abortion sanctuaries in the post-Roe era. Many of them have dramatically liberalized their abortion laws to lure women from pro-life states. But evidence is mounting that the push to establish these abortion Utopias isn’t working out like the abortion industry and its friends in high place…

How are pro-lifers losing ballot initiatives even in red states like Kansas, Montana, and Ohio? Scare tactics.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podc…

Most of these songs are…

Pro-lifers—especially those who pray in front of abortion facilities—have long known that women are rarely eager to exercise their “right to choose.” Most women who get abortions do so as a result of panic, fear, pressure, and even coercion. But don’t take our word for it. A new peer-reviewed study from the Charlotte Lozier Institute shows that mor…

The State of California should be proud that one of its own--Dr. George Delgado--pioneered Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) to give women who regret taking the abortion pill a second chance at life. Instead, the Golden State is suing Heartbeat International for promoting APR to save babies. Heartbeat International president Jor-El Godsey joins us on th…
