40 Days For Life Podcast

The most extreme pro-abortion administration in U.S. history is on the way out…along with its weaponized DOJ, its censorship, and its persecution of pro-life Americans. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we’ll break down what this fall’s elections mean for abortion-vulnerable moms and babies…and for YOU!

Former Planned Parenthood workers have long said that there’s a disconnect between the abortion giant’s leadership and its employees. The behind-closed-doors squabbles have now erupted into a very messy, very public mutiny! On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast we take a look at active Planned Parenthood workers’ ugly accusations against America’s leading abortion chain.

Ugly political losses have led some pro-life candidates to turn their backs on defenseless unborn babies and their mothers. Is the pro-life position a political loser?  It doesn’t have to be. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at how to win hearts, minds, AND 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, why, where, and who of so-called fourth-trimester abortions. 

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 intersection of immigration and abortion.

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…and five that do.

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 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share our favorite passages from God’s word—Scripture verses that embolden, console, challenge, and equip us to stand in defense of the least of God’s children: the unborn babies and moms in danger of abortion.

How do we explain abortion to children? Do we discuss it at all with them? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we explore age-appropriate ways of talking about this difficult and heavy (but important) topic with children and share our stories of discussions with kids.

Pro-abortion rhetoric has grown increasingly bizarre over the last two and a half years... ...and it can be difficult to respond to arguments that don't make any sense. That's why we released What to Say When 2: Your Proven Guide in the New Abortion Landscape this week. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we preview the book--and share with you tips about countering pro-abortion talking points confidently and compassionately. 

Abortion supporters often accuse you of only caring about moms and children until the baby is born. It’s a classic “gotcha” attack designed to discredit you and put you on the defensive. 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 alternative voices with big platforms. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the real population timebomb.

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? As we continue to answer questions from podcast listeners, we forecast what those outcomes might look like. We also discuss in vitro fertilization, the best way to bring the Gospel to abortion clients, how pro-lifers will vote in November, and more!

Banter ends at 19:11. How should pro-lifers look at abortion exceptions? What can pro-lifers in blue states with extreme pro-abortion laws do to save lives? 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 on the show? Email podcast@40daysforlife.com.  Just for fun, we also remember Shawn and Steve's misbehavior from high school. 

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. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we break down those claims so you’re not at a loss for words when abortion supporters tell you abortion is safer than birth.

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 this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss what July's violence and chaos have to do with abortion--and why 40 Days for Life points the way toward the solution to an ailing culture. 

The dog days of summer are here. Whether you're at the beach or curled up in a hammock, it's a great time to pick up a book. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share our favorite books that pro-lifers should read. These books aren't all explicitly pro-life, but pro-lifers will benefit from reading each of them. Tune in and decide which one you'll tackle first... ...and be sure to pick up a book we don't review on this podcast, What to Say When 2: Your Proven Guide in the New Abortion Landscape, at 40daysforlife.com/2

On part two of our series on how language impacts the abortion debate, we continue to look at at the psychological impact our choice of words has on what we (and others) think about abortion. (You don't need to have listened to the first episode in this series to benefit from this episode.) Tune in to part one by visiting 40daysforlife.com/language-1

Language is powerful. And when it's misused, the results can be deadly.  On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the psychological impact our choice of words has on what we (and others) think. We'll break down how language can frame the abortion debate with a pro-abortion bias--and how to avoid contributing to the hijacking of the conversation.

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. When America falls short of that standard, patriotic women and men make heroic sacrifices to right the ship. Pro-lifers now carry that torch--and on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share 10 quotes from American heroes that will get you fired up to end abortion!
