1Planned Parenthood has gone all-in on abortion pills in post-Roe America. But there's a weakness in this abortion pill offensive: Unlike surgical abortions, pill-induced abortions can be reversed. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Abortion Pill Reversal creator Dr. George Delgado joins us to share the dramatic story of how he discovered the secret to reversing chemical abortions.
This summer marks America's 250th birthday! As we prepare to light the birthday candles--and the fireworks--it's time to celebrate the fundamental American principles that will help our country end abortion. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we look to the pillars of U.S. heritage that point the way toward restoring respect for human life in the law and in the hearts of all people...from sea to shining sea!
The French Revolution was one of the great tragedies of the last 500 years, and many of its errors persist to this day. Did it contribute to the advent of abortion nearly 200 years later? There are some remarkable similarities between the French Revolution and today's pro-abortion movement. We debate whether the French Revolution led to abortion on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.
A recent public opinion study by Pew Research Center shows what Americans think about the morality of abortion…and many other topics. There's good news, bad news, and weird news. We break it all down on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.
The battle to end abortion is being won on the sidewalk in front of your local abortion business... ...but there are also critical battles being fought in the courtroom. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, 40 Days for Life general counsel Matt Britton joins us with a critical update on important legal matters, including: Mark Houck's million-dollar victory over the Department of Justice; Lawsuits and legal reviews to limit or even end the abortion pill; A wave of pro-life legislation at the state level; Much more!
You know the abortion pill is bad news. But do you know the man behind it? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we introduce you to the highly disturbing Dr. Étienne-Émile Baulieu, who pioneered a pill that has killed countless children—and plenty of women—around the world.
The passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ opened the door to eternal life. As if that wasn't enough, we also got a lot more out of it too! On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we celebrate eight more things the resurrection won for humanity.
Banter ends at 6:19 Holy Week is here--the most transformational week of the year...and of all of history. If you haven't had a good Lent, a good Holy Week can make up for it...and if you have had a good Lent, finish strong by entering into the mystery of Christ's passion and death as we prepare to celebrate His resurrection on Sunday. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we dive into the week that changed the world.
Abortion advocates have long justified abortion by asserting that the rights of a woman trump the rights of a fetus. But it's a false dichotomy. Recent peer-reviewed research published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research shows that abortion takes a devastating toll on women's mental health. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we break down how abortion is helping to fuel a full-blown mental health crisis.
St. Patrick's Day banter ends at 15:27 More and more atheists are standing up for life. That's encouraging...but it prompts the question: Why? Unless human beings derive their value from God, what is the source of their dignity? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we debate the question: Is there a secular case for defending human life? And if so, what is it?
Most birth control users don't know that many forms of contraception can actually cause early abortions--before a woman even knows she's pregnant. Recently, we received a letter from a woman who just learned about the abortifacient mechanism of birth control pills...and was horrified to consider that those pills might have cost the lives of numerous children. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share: hope for women who fear they've unintentionally ended the lives of children by using the Pill; how the Pill actually works; why most people don't actually know contraceptives can function as abortifacients; much more!
As we strive to cultivate respect for life in the womb, there's a critical issue that's often overlooked: miscarriage. It's a topic that even many pro-lifers avoid discussing because they want to avoid stirring up painful memories for mothers who have suffered pregnancy loss. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we talk with Laura Karlen--wife of campaign director Steve Karlen--about why silence doesn't help and how mothers long for the lives of their miscarried babies to be honored.
On one of the most fascinating episodes of The 40 Days for Life Podcast ever, Katie Coblentz joins us to reveal how she got into the transgender movement... ...and how she left it behind to embrace her identity as a woman. Join us as Katie shares: the startling admission that led her transgender support group to reject her; how Matt Walsh's blistering critique of the trans movement impacted her; what parents--especially with children who identify as transgender--should know; MUCH more!
Banter ends at 15:25 Cheer up, it's Lent! Lent is a time of penance and fasting, but that doesn't mean you have to be miserable. Instead, it's a time to master ourselves and to draw near to the ultimate source of happiness: Jesus Christ. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at how NOT to approach Lent, and consider ways that can help us grow closer to Christ in His passion, cross, and resurrection.
Abortion facilities are going out of business left and right. But does it matter? Do closed abortion facilities mean that we're winning…or just that more women are ordering abortion pills online? We tackle that question and discuss whether abortion numbers are increasing or decreasing on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.
Banter ends at 21:03 The February 18-March 29 40 Days for Life vigil is coming up, and excitement is building... ...but not everybody is happy to see you on the sidewalk. When you're out praying, it's usually only a matter of time before somebody drives by to heckle you. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share the favorite insults we've ever received out on the sidewalk. "Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me." Matthew 5:11
Even after more than five decades, nobody is comfortable with abortion. That's why abortion advocates prefer to avoid talking about abortion--and instead frame the conversation as a matter of "choice." But the proliferation of unregulated abortion pills is taking that choice away from women. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we meet the people using abortion pills to trick, force, or coerce women into abortions against their will.
Abortion is the most controversial topic in the world…so it's not surprising that it inspires anger on both sides of the issue. Even though 40 Days for Life is peaceful, prayerful, and law-abiding, sometimes the horror of abortion can make us angry. Is it wrong to get angry? And how do we handle anger? We address those questions on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.
In Vitro Fertilization is a dehumanizing business. And after IVF clients are finished attempting to conceive artificially, there are usually leftover embryos. Some are discarded. Others are destroyed for medical research. And many are frozen in a state of suspended animation. What is the moral thing to do with these "spare" human beings? Some pro-lifers are adopting them, having them implanted in their wombs, and bringing these babies to term to prevent them from being destroyed or remaining in a storage facility indefinitely. Is that the right approach? We discuss that tough question on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.
Listener feedback discussion ends at 9:47. The federal government defunded Planned Parenthood in July of 2025, which will cost the abortion giant hundreds of millions of dollars over a year. But where else does Planned Parenthood get funding? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we explore revenue sources that might surprise you.
