What happens when a state legislator makes prenatal development part of the education debate?On this episode of The Ever-Living Podcast, Jason talks with former New Hampshire State Representative John Sellers about his Christian faith, service in the U.S. Air Force, time in the New Hampshire House, and his anti-abortion advocacy. Sellers recounts winning his first legislative race by just four votes and explains why he believes personal conversations, education, pregnancy-resource centers, adoption, and direct support for pregnant women are important parts of the anti-abortion movement.A major focus is Sellers' legislation concerning prenatal-development education. His 2025 HB 667 would have required health curricula to include age-appropriate, medically accurate education featuring an animation or ultrasound video showing development of the heart, brain, and other vital organs. The Legislature passed an amended version, but Gov. Kelly Ayotte vetoed it in July 2025, and the House sustained the veto in December.The conversation also covers pregnancy centers, Safe Haven options, adoption, supporting women facing unexpected pregnancies, and Sellers' religious beliefs about life before birth. The episode closes with his reflections on public service and why he encourages ordinary New Hampshire residents to consider serving in the Legislature.Subscribe to NHRTL: https://nhrtl.org/subscribe/Thank you for watching The Ever-Living Podcast, a heartfelt space to share the stories and voices of women who champion a culture that values and protects life.

Can someone oppose abortion and still have a place in the Democratic Party?On this episode of The Ever-Living Podcast, Jason sits down with Kristen Day, Executive Director of Democrats for Life of America, an organization that advocates for a “Whole Life” approach and for a place for abortion opponents within the Democratic Party. Kristen discusses the history of pro-life Democrats in Congress, bipartisan support for the Hyde Amendment, political pressure surrounding abortion, and her organization's effort to rebuild what it calls the Democratic Party's “big tent.” She also recounts her widely discussed exchange with Pete Buttigieg during his presidential campaign and talks about current organizing efforts in Texas, Massachusetts, Virginia, and elsewhere.  The conversation explores pregnancy-resource centers, parental involvement, abortion ballot measures, and Kristen's argument that concern for unborn children can coexist with traditional Democratic priorities involving poverty, healthcare, immigration, families, and other vulnerable populations. https://www.democratsforlife.org/index.php/issues/abortionThank you for watching The Ever-Living Podcast, a heartfelt space to share the stories and voices of women who champion a culture that values and protects life.
