It's been a difficult year...
...but that doesn't mean there isn't a great deal to be thankful for. On this light-hearted episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss:
Most people these days don't seem to care much about truth. But that doesn't mean we can't provide effective witness to the dignity of human life.
On this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share seven ways to share the Gospel of Life with a culture that rejects truth.
The presidential election is over and...still nobody knows what is going on in the nation's capital.
The election is still too close to call in numerous states while attorneys prepare for recounts, recanvassing, and myriad claims of election fraud. Both President Donald Trump and Vice President Joe Biden have declared victory. Meanwhile, we won't know which party retains control of the Senate for two more months!
But there's a lot we do know. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss what's going on in Washington, D.C. and what it means for abortion-vulnerable babies over the next four years.

Pro-lifers everywhere know that the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in all 50 states...
...but did you know the case was riddled with intrigue, alliances, wheeling, and dealing? In the upcoming film, Roe v. Wade, writer, director, and actor Nick Loeb shines a light on the decision that ushered in the worst human rights crisis in history.

We talk with Nick Loeb about how he made the film, why he made the film, and what he hopes the Roe v. Wade movie will accomplish.
"I want to pray for an end to abortion--but how do I pray for an hour (or more!) straight? Won't I run out of prayers?"

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Steve Karlen, Sue Thayer, and Dr. Haywood Robinson provide six ideas for prayer during your prayer shifts at the September 23 - November 1 40 Days for Life vigil:

Does electing pro-abortion politicians who enact governmental social programs save lives from abortion?
Professor Michael New has researched the question, and the answer is a resounding "no." Instead, the Catholic University of America professor--who earned his PhD at Stanford and did post-doc work at the Harvard-MIT Data Center--determined that pro-life laws, grassroots pro-life efforts, and the use of ultrasound technology have saved millions of lives from abortion.

Planned Parenthood doesn't agree with the pro-life movement often...
...but America's leading abortion provider finally admits that its founder, Margaret Sanger, was a racist eugenicist. The abortion giant renamed its flagship facility in Manhattan. The "Margaret Sanger Planned Parenthood" is now the "Manhattan Health Center."
On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney and Steve Karlen ask why Planned Parenthood has disavowed Margaret Sanger--but continues her deadly legacy of preying on minorities, the poor, and the vulnerable.
China has been exposed for committing genocide on the Uyghur people in Xinjiang. It’s no surprise that the country responsible for the world’s worst genocide against the unborn is also committing genocide on other groups within the country.
How can a society suddenly engage in mass-scale killing—especially of the defenseless? It’s a question that’s difficult to fathom. But we can look to the history books to find the common threads and factors that make genocide possible:
The United States has a long and sacred tradition of freedom of speech and assembly--even when it comes to expression of unpopular viewpoints. But the Supreme Court recently refused to strike down buffer zone and bubble zone legislation that limits the free speech rights of pro-lifers. In fact, the Court refused to even hear pro-lifers' case against the ordinances.
On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Matt Britton, and Robert Colquhoun look at the Court's latest attack on human life and discuss the emerging threats to free speech around the world.
Meet the new boss, same as the interim boss.
Recently, Planned Parenthood announced Alexis McGill Johnson as its new president and CEO. But there's not much new about McGill Johnson. She's held the title as interim president for the last year and has been a board member of Planned Parenthood, its lobbying arm, and its political action committee.
After a year-long search, an internal hire suggests that the role of the chief executive of America's leading abortion provider wasn't exactly a coveted position.
On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Steve Karlen, and Sue Thayer introduce you to Alexis McGill Johnson and discuss why the future of Planned Parenthood is anything but bright.

Chief Justice John Roberts cast the deciding vote. Roberts admitted that he disagrees with the ruling...but sided with it anyway in order to go along with the Court's historical precedent. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we'll discuss Roberts' betrayal, what it means for the pro-life landscape going forward, and where pro-lifers go from here.
Last week, the United States Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling on sex discrimination...
...but what was it? And what does it mean for pro-life Christians?

People often ask, "How many 40 Days for Life campaigns does it take to close an abortion facility?"

On this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Sue Thayer, and Steve Karlen discuss these important updates--and how you can use them to expose Planned Parenthood.
