40 Days For Life Podcast

Music is the universal language. And while most pop hits aren't terribly deep, sometimes the abortion debate comes through your speakers. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at some of the biggest hits that touch upon the most controversial topic in the world. This is not a list of pro-life songs. Most of these songs are NOT pro-life. But each tells us something about abortion.

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 more than two thirds of women who’ve had abortions didn’t want to.

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 this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast to discuss the lawsuit as well as: The ridiculous study abortion advocates erroneously use to claim APR is dangerous; Why APR offers hope to victims of coerced abortion; How 40 Days for Life campaigns coincide with more women seeking help at pregnancy help centers. 

The following program contains content that may not be suitable for children. Parental discretion is advised. There’s nothing more unnatural than turning the womb from the safest place in the world to the most violent... ...and the unnaturalness usually doesn’t end with abortion. Abortion facilities attract a lot of strangeness. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share some of the most unusual things we’ve witnessed at a 40 Days for Life vigil.

The abortion industry trains its employees on how to prevent YOU from successfully offering life-affirming abortion alternatives to its clients. How pro-choice! But what happens when efforts to undermine your prayer and witness backfire? On this episode of the 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share stories--many of them hilarious--of women who actually left the abortion facility because an abortion worker's or abortion supporter's efforts to counteract your peaceful presence backfired. 

Recently, pop superstar Britney Spears published a memoir revealing that she was pressured into having an abortion as a teenager. It's an experience that many millions of women across the United States have suffered...but now that the "Princess of Pop" has shared how abortion traumatized her, the world has taken notice. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we explore how Britney Spears' tragic testimony reveals the deep, dark truth about the world's most commonly performed surgical procedure.  

No longer bound by Roe v. Wade to leave unborn babies defenseless, states across the country are enacting legal protections for children in the womb. But other states are using their powers for evil to promote, fund, and celebrate the slaughter of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at some of the most notable trends in state-level legislation.

The Incarnation of Jesus Christ is the most groundbreaking moment in history. God—who exists outside of time and space—entered into His own creation to save us from our sins. More than 2,000 years later, not only do the shockwaves of the first Christmas continue to reverberate throughout the world, but we continue to encounter versions of the key figures in that Bethlehem stable—even as we pray in front of our local abortion facility. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we introduce you to the nine people you meet at both the birth of Jesus Christ and at Planned Parenthood. AND we'll share our favorite Christmas movies to get you into the spirit of the season!

Abortion pills now account for the majority of all abortions in the United States. But unlike surgical abortions, many chemical abortions can be reversed—if a woman acts quickly after taking the first abortion pill. The Abortion Pill Reversal protocol (APR) has saved thousands of babies from abortion… …but the abortion industry is not happy. Pro-abortion politicians are responding by attempting to ban APR—and by suing medical professionals who provide it. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, 40 Days for Life director of medical affairs and education Dr. Haywood Robinson and general counsel Matt Britton discuss the attack on Abortion Pill Reversal.

There are good and effective ways to encourage abortion staffers to leave their jobs…and misguided approaches that hurt more than they help. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Abby Johnson joins us to share what to say—and not to say—to your local abortion workers.

Former Planned Parenthood employees report that when YOU are present in prayer in front of an abortion facility, the no-show rate for abortion appointments goes as high as 75%. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share some of our most fulfilling stories from the sidewalks.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving—and head toward the end of the year—there’s plenty to be thankful for. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we recap the reasons to be grateful after another successful year for pro-lifers. And--just for fun--we share Shawn's experimental turkey recipe!

Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, 40 Days for Life participants have seen unprecedented persecution. That's why we established the 40 Days for Life Institute of Law and Justice earlier this year to protect prayer warriors' right to peacefully and lawfully pray for an end to abortion. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss why this is such a big deal--not just for pro-lifers but for all freedom-loving Americans.

The largest 40 Days for Life campaign in history is in the books! But that doesn’t mean our work is done. The abortion industry continues to prey on women and children on day 41. So how can we end abortion now that the vigil has concluded? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we give you suggestions on how to keep saving lives until the next 40 Days for Life campaign begins on February 14.

Recently on The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discussed how the savagery of Hamas in the Holy Land was in many cases supported by and exploited by abortion advocates. While the world once again justifies the slaughter of Jews, 40 Days for Life president Shawn Carney recounts his trip to Auschwitz--and what the Holocaust teaches us about the dehumanization of unborn children today.

Compromise the sanctity of life in one domain, and you'll soon abandon it everywhere. It’s no surprise, then, that pro-abortion activists rushed to support the savagery of the radical Islamist terrorist group Hamas as it waged a genocidal campaign of violence against Israeli citizens earlier this month. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss how dehumanization begets dehumanization.

The killing of children is a profoundly demonic practice. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we explore the many connections between abortion and the demonic. We discuss: How abortion can open the door to demonic possession;  The spiritual transfer of ownership that took place when Christians acquired an abortion facility; Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's involvement in the occult; Much more!

How come Americans disagree so passionately over abortion? For starters, they can’t agree what abortion is. The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute recently published the results of a 2020 survey in which respondents assessed whether they consider different pregnancy outcomes to be abortion, not abortion, or “maybe [abortion], it depends.” The results are baffling—but they also provide some clues about what pro-lifers need to do to win hearts and minds.

This September 27-November 5, 40 Days for Life participants in 681 cities around the world are united in prayer for moms and babies, for abortion workers, and for abortion facilities to close. But there are many more abortion-related concerns we should bring to the Lord this fall. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share important intentions for which to storm Heaven as you stand vigil in front of your local abortion business.

President Donald Trump recently blasted Florida’s six-week abortion ban, calling it a “terrible mistake.” Trump said that as president, he’d find a gestational age limit that would please both abortion supporters and pro-lifers. The surprising remarks were at odds with Trump’s record as America’s most pro-life president. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss just what in the world Trump was talking about.
