40 Days for Life Podcast

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 m...

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.

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 congrat...

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 fo...

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. 

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-trimest...

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.

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.

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 pa...

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.

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 ta...

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.  

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 under population. 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...

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 v...

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.  Ju...

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,...

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 ,...
