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 our annual Thanksgiving episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we celebrate an exciting lineup of prayers answered this year.

Nov 19, 2024

The 2024 election is finally over. While it wasn't a clean sweep for pro-lifers, there were many victories pro-lifers can build upon to save lives from abortion.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we break down the election results--the good, the bad, and the ugly--and what they mean for the abortion landscape in 2025 and beyond. 

 

Nov 12, 2024

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!

Nov 5, 2024

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.

Oct 29, 2024

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.

Oct 22, 2024

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. 

Oct 15, 2024

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. 

Oct 8, 2024

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.

Oct 1, 2024

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.

Sep 24, 2024

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.

Sep 17, 2024

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.

Sep 10, 2024

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. 

Sep 3, 2024

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.  

Aug 27, 2024

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.

Aug 20, 2024

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!

Aug 13, 2024

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. 

Aug 6, 2024

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.

Jul 30, 2024

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. 

Jul 23, 2024

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

Jul 16, 2024

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

Jul 9, 2024

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.

Jul 2, 2024

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!

Jun 25, 2024

It’s official: The sequel to the national best-selling book, What to Say When: The Complete New Guide to Discussing Abortion hits September 10. Pre-order your copy and get exclusive deals and free shipping by visiting 40daysforlife.com/2.

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the abortion debate changed—in both good ways and strange. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share why this book is needed in a post-Roe world—especially with critical elections looming.

Jun 18, 2024

Banter ends at 17:20.

There's been a lot of good and bad news for pro-lifers since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago. 

But the dust is settling...and clarity is coming. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we break down 5 key trends that will shape the future of abortion in post-Roe America:

  1. The birthrate is up in pro-life states;
  2. Pro-lifers have lost a lot of abortion referenda--but we've got a big opportunity to turn the tables in November;
  3. We have conclusive proof that abortion is the financial cornerstone of abortion facilities. (It's not just 3% of their business!);
  4. Not all abortion-vulnerable women are willing to travel for abortions;
  5. Women are seeking healing after abortion sooner than they did in the past.
Jun 11, 2024

It’s June, which means the ever-mutating rainbow flag is everywhere. But if you’re noticing that this year’s Pride Month isn’t quite as obnoxious as usual, you’re not alone. There are abundant signs that the Pride movement has peaked and is now in decline.

 

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss how and why June looks a little different this year—and where we go from here.
