The Pro-Life Guy's Podcast

For pro-life and pro-choice advocates alike, the question, "What if the child has a disability?" often results in a moment's pause, as the focus appears to have shifted from the pregnant mother to now include the developing child.While there are countless heartbreaking cases of young children growing up with regular or even constant pain and suffering, it is vital even (and arguably especially) now that we do not attempt to "solve" these difficult situations by intentionally killing innocent humans.In today's episode, host Cam explores the profound pain and suffering that not only children may encounter, but also by extension their parents and others in their lives. He talks about how recognition of these realities is essential, and advocates for effective and compassionate solutions which do not include killing children, whether before or after birth.Don't forget to like and subscribe on your favourite podcatcher, as well as on the PLG YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastTo check out Emily Perl Kingsley's touching poem entitled, "Welcome to Holland", go to: https://www.dsasc.ca/uploads/8/5/3/9/8539131/welcome_to_holland.pdfContact Cam with ideas, suggestions, and questions at email@prolifeguys.com#prolife#plgpodcast#prolifegeneration

This co-ed high school has been a model school based on pro-life values included throughout the entire 4-year curriculum, and it is certified by its diocese.

Are vasectomies really the answer to the abortion crisis?!?! For many, the answer is an obvious, "No!", yet many pro-lifers continue to hear this while doing outreach, not to mention the number of media personalities who claim that if all men would just have vasectomies, children would no longer enter the world through unwanted pregnancies, and therefore the abortion crisis would vanish (along with the human species...). #prolife #prolifegeneration #howto #howtotalkaboutabortion In today's episode, host Cam breaks down how to navigate these comments, whether said genuinely or in jest. 00:00 - Intro 01:55 - How this comes up at activism 03:50 - The two kinds of vasectomy conversations 04:10 - When we don't actually need to address this challenge 06:22 - When we DO actually need to address this challenge Contact Cam with questions, ideas, and comments at email@prolifeguys.com

Do pro-life laws kill mothers? The answer to this question has been the topic of discussion by mainstream media in the lead up to the 2024 American Presidential election with the news of death of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, and potentially more mothers who tragically died after taking the abortion pill, though media personalities and politicians are consistently coming to the wrong conclusion.In today's episode, host Cam breaks down what you need to know about these heartbreaking stories, and how you can navigate conversations about them to demonstrate that these tragic deaths are a result of the abortion pill, realities within any medical system (including those in pro-abortion states), and at times medical errors.Check out the PLG podcast YouTube channel for more great content, and help the show reach 1,000 subscribers here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastFor more information about the truth surrounding pro-life legislation in America, go to: https://lozierinstitute.org/fact-sheet-are-pro-life-state-laws-preventing-pregnant-women-from-receiving-emergency-care/Check out these great articles in response the heart breaking story of Amber Thurman, go to: https://www.liveaction.org/news/feigned-fury-abortion-pill-die-pro-life-states/ and https://slowtowrite.com/amber-thurman-died-because-of-amber-thurman/For more about the risks surrounding the abortion pill regime go to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19888037/ and https://journals.lww.com/greenjournal/fulltext/2009/10000/immediate_complications_after_medical_compared.14.aspxTo see how the mainstream media is covering these tragic stories to whip up opposition to life saving laws, go to: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/sep/19/georgia-abortion-ban and https://www.propublica.org/article/candi-miller-abortion-ban-death-georgiaConnect with Cam for your questions, comments, and ideas at email@prolifeguys.com

Personal experiences shape who we are, what we believe, and how we interact with other people. This is true for those who support abortion, as well as for those who do not.In today's episode, host Cam talks about appropriate and effective was to introduce your personal experiences, or those of others you are familiar with, to help abortion-supportive women and men to reject the pro-abortion worldview.#prolife #prolifegen #howtoWhether your experience relates to poverty, sexual assault, disability, or any other formational experience, there is tremendous value in both humanizing pro-lifers and inspiring those with whom we are speaking. With that said though, we don't want to weaponize our experience, refuting the arguments of our friends or family by demonstrating that they are not as difficult or relevant as they are suggesting. Our experiences can provide the greatest impact when they are shared to help build common ground, develop relatable analogies, and inspire people once they have recognized the logic of the pro-life worldview.Check out the PLG podcast YouTube page, and don't forget to like and subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastCheck out the PLG Podcast merch at: https://prolifeguys.com/shop/Contact Cam with ideas, suggestions, and questions at email@prolifeguys.com

Central to conversations about abortion is when human life begins, and in today's episode, host Cam takes a deep(er) dive into how to talk about the science of human life. The first step in establishing the importance of when human life begins is reiterating the human rights argument which includes the following questions:Do you agree all humans get human rights?If something is growing (in an organized way), isn't it alive?If that living organism has human parents, isn't he or she a living human?Doesn't that make abortion a human rights violation?Next, we'll offer clarifications, including at times tracing our lives back from our current age and stage of development to the moment of fertilization, before appealing to biological authorities and offering a more thorough understanding of the behaviour and composition of pre-born children which comprehensively demonstrate the presence of a new human life at the moment of fertilization.For Dr. Maureen Condic's article titled, "Defining Organisms by Organization", go to: https://www.pdcnet.org/collection/fshow?id=ncbq_2005_0005_0002_0331_0353&pdfname=ncbq_2005_0005_0002_0331_0353.pdf&file_type=pdfFor Dr. Maureen Condic's white paper on the beginning of human life, go to:https://bdfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wi_whitepaper_life_print.pdfFor Dr. Steven Jacobs' study titled, "The Scientific Consensus on When a Human's Life Begins", go to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36629778/To purchase a copy of CCBR's flagship apologetics book, "STUCK: A complete guide to answering tough questions about abortion", go to: https://prolifeguys.com/shop/To connect with Cam regarding questions, ideas, or comments, write to email@prolifeguys.com

Pro-lifers are confronted with a wide variety of justifications for abortion, and for many of us, we are tempted to either refute them by explaining why their justification is illogical, or to try and resolve the challenges brought forth.In today's episode, host Cam talks about why we should avoid refuting altogether in an effort to win people while being pro-life ambassadors, and why we should be wary of trying to resolve problems before working through the foundational principle that we cannot kill humans to solve problems.Thanks to all who have helped push the PLG YouTube subscribership to over 700 subscribers!

Pro-lifer advocates are often challenged with the question, "What about when the mother's life is in danger?", and regardless of whether this comes from a well-meaning pro-lifer struggling to come to terms with this crisis, or an abortion advocate using these scenarios as something of a Trojan horse, it is vital that pro-lifers respond with clarity and compassion. In today's episode, host Cam talks through how to navigate these conversations to help those we're speaking to appreciate that while medical intervention can absolutely be appropriate, the mechanical intentions of that intervention entirely dictates whether a particular procedure is appropriate. #prolifepodcast #prolife #prolifegeneration Check out the episode where Cam talked to Dr. Ryan Wilson from Canadian Physicians for Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifWsZ1hmBXI Don't forget to like and subscribe, and please send Cam an email with ideas and suggestions at email@prolifeguys.com
