40 Days For Life Podcast

Recently, the New York Times published results of an investigation revealing that America’s leading abortion provider is in crisis. Interviews with more than 50 current and former Planned Parenthood executives, consultants, and medical staff members show a startling pattern of botched abortions, disillusioned staffers, and financial devastation. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we reveal the exposé’s most shocking revelations--and our theory for WHY the New York Times has turned on Planned Parenthood. 

Everybody knows Lent is a great time to pray more. But that’s easier said than done. Knowing that we should step up our prayer life isn’t the same as knowing how to step up our prayer life. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we give you practical ideas for growing your relationship with the Lord this Lent.

On last week’s episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we broke down 10 pop culture phenomena that ruined the world. But things are looking up. Wokeness is on life support, and there’s evidence that the chaos of the last decade is giving way to a return to sanity. On this podcast, we look at 10 encouraging pop-culture trends that show America is back!

Television, music, and movies can tell you a lot about a society…and pop culture hasn’t exactly put our society’s best foot forward. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we reveal 10 pop culture phenomena that ruined the world.

Banter ends at 14:53. Abortion advocates have a hard job trying to make the slaughter of children palatable to the public. So they share heartbreaking stories of mothers facing difficult pregnancies—rape, incest, and maternal health challenges—and then assert that abortion is the only solution. If you suggest killing a child isn’t necessary, abortion supporters try to shame you into silence by accusing you of siding with rapists or even wanting women to die. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share What to Say When abortion supporters bring up the hardest of the hard cases.

Do animals possess the same dignity as people? From doggy strollers to laws establishing legal rights for rivers, there's a growing push to elevate the status of animals and nature... ...and to undermine the unique dignity of human beings.  On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we explore how putting nature on a pedestal is dangerous for children--and for the looming underpopulation crisis. 

Planned Parenthood touts itself as a health care provider. But the legitimate services the abortion chain provides are either overstated or can be obtained elsewhere. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we break down why defunding America's leading abortion provider would not negatively impact women--and would instead improve America's quality of health care. 

Roe v. Wade subjected America to nearly five decades of abortion on demand in all 50 states. Two and a half years after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned it and restored Americans’ right to protect the least of our brothers and sisters, it’s clearer than ever that Roe was destined for the scrapyard. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the contradictions, lies, and miscalculations that doomed Roe from the start.

Abortion weighs heavily on the hearts of pro-lifers who witness women walking into abortion facilities despite their efforts to offer life-affirming alternatives. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss the emotional toll we face as pro-life advocates and ways to combat the emotional fatigue we feel.

Human trafficking is modern-day slavery--and the fastest growing form of organized crime. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we look at the harrowing statistics, how the human trafficking industry and abortion industry are deeply intertwined, the impact of human trafficking rescue efforts, and what you can do to prevent human trafficking (and by extension some abortions) in your neighborhood.

Banter ends at 6:15 It's important for pro-lifers to remind young women who find themselves facing unplanned pregnancies that their dreams, careers, and goals are still attainable. But we should also be clear that "just" being a mom isn't settling. It's the greatest achievement of all.  On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we dive into why all mothers should be encouraged and congratulated--regardless of whether they win a Nobel Prize or become a CEO. 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. As we prepare to break for the celebration of our Lord’s birth, we dive into seven of the most beloved Christmas carols…and why they mean a little more to pro-lifers!

Abortion pills now account for a majority of all abortions in the United States. But even many pro-lifers don’t know how they work, why they’re so dangerous, or where they’re legal in the post-Roe world. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we break down what every pro-lifer needs to know about abortion pills in 2025.

Voters in a number of conservative states have enshrined a right to abortion in their state constitutions. How could this happen? A recent piece in Reason magazine makes a compelling case that the overturning of Roe v. Wade was an inflection point in which pro-lifers suddenly and decisively turned against their pro-life convictions. Is that true? It's complicated. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a close look at the pro-lifers who aren't actually pro-life. 

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.

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.   

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.
