The midterm elections are right around the corner here in the United States. If you live anywhere near a competitive race, you’re already sick of the endless campaign ads. And in the first post-Roe election, those ads are more focused on abortion than ever before.

Abortion is the hottest of hot-button topics this year, polarizing the electorate and defining partisan identities like no other issue. But that wasn’t always the case. In fact, it’s a bit of a historical accident that the Democrats have a staunchly pro-abortion platform, and the GOP has a pro-life platform.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we trace the politicization of abortion in America.

We've prepared for Roe v. Wade to be overturned for years--which is why we hit the ground running this fall with the largest 40 Days for Life campaign in history.

But Planned Parenthood was decidedly NOT ready for the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, which sent abortion back to the states. The abortion giant's annual report just came out--very late--and it reveals an organization in disarray:

• Planned Parenthood has no sense of purpose, meandering from race to abortion to COVID to various other forms of activism;
• Even after nearly two years with control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, Planned Parenthood doesn't have any major public policy victories to show;
• Abortions are up...but real healthcare provision is WAY down.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss Planned Parenthood's struggles as well as what to watch out for going forward. (Spoiler alert: Planned Parenthood is coming for your kids.)

It’s another record-setting 40 Days for Life campaign, taking place in 622 cities worldwide—AND it’s election season here in the United States. That can only mean one thing: The abortion industry has gone into overdrive spouting ridiculous pro-abortion talking points.

Planned Parenthood and its allies say a lot of things that are dead wrong, and we’ve covered many of them on the podcast. But on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we count down the silliest, most embarrassing, most cringeworthy defenses of abortion that abortion advocates are trying to present as serious arguments.

We discuss:

• Stacey Abrams' outrageous claim that fetal heartbeats are "manufactured";
• Whether pro-lifers oppose abortion because they want to "control women's bodies";
• What feelings have to do with the science of when life begins;
• And more!

Life is winning...and pro-abortion forces in governments around the world are responding by trying to bully pro-life Christians into silence. 

Scotland is looking to ban 40 Days for Life--even alleging that silent prayer could be "far more damaging" to women than abuse.

Meanwhile, the FBI raided the home of a 40 Days for Life vigil participant in Philadelphia--even though local prosecutors dropped charges months earlier. 

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at these two examples of state-sponsored pro-abortion bullying and why it is safe to continue standing firm, peacefully praying and witnessing to the dignity of human life.
