There's a little extra to be grateful for this Thanksgiving.
The defunding of Planned Parenthood and YOUR prayers combined to close TWO of the world's most notorious abortion facilities...plus closed abortion facilities in abortion-friendly states like California, Illinois, Vermont, Minnesota, and Colorado!
Tune in to our annual Thanksgiving episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast as we thank the Lord for ...

Social media was supposed to advance freedom of speech by increasing access to the marketplace of ideas. Instead, the government and Big Tech teamed up to suppress and even punish pro-life speech as "dangerous" or "disinformation."
Has censorship of pro-life messaging improved under the Trump administration? It's complicated.
On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the social media pl...
On Veterans Day, America pauses to honor the men and women in uniform who have sacrificed so much in defense of our country, our liberty, and our freedom...including the freedom to assemble in public to pray for an end to abortion.
One of those heroes, Private Joe Karlen, nearly drowned in the English Channel on his way to help liberate Europe from the Nazi occupation. After landing at Normandy, Joe was severely wounded by a morta...
Contraception is designed to prevent untended pregnancies. Unintended pregnancies account for the majority of abortions. So it would seem that contraception reduces the number of abortions and that birth control is a blessing.
But is that true?
It's a disputed matter—especially among pro-lifers. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we answer the question: Is contraception a blessing or a curse?
NOTE: On this episode, we...
Depending on whom you ask, Halloween is either a day with Christian roots…or a gateway to the demonic.
So which is it? It's important for pro-lifers to get this right. If we dabble in the demonic, not only do we endanger our souls, but we also won't be able to fight the evil of abortion.
On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the origins of Halloween, how it became a celebration of the grotesque and maca...

Earlier this year, we reviewed Planned Parenthood Federation of America's unhinged annual report (40daysforlife.com/hope-stds-the-chop). The report showed how out of touch the abortion giant is at the national level.
Surely, Planned Parenthood's local affiliates must be a little more grounded, right? … RIGHT?
We took a close look at the annual report of an ordinary midwestern Planned Parenthood affilia...
When a society celebrates the slaughter of unborn children, it's only a matter of time before the violence spreads to other vulnerable groups.
So it's no surprise that same self-described humanists who brought us abortion and infanticide have set their sights on the elderly, the sick, and the disabled.
On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the troubling connections between abortion and euthanasia.
Until Congress and President Trump defunded Planned Parenthood this year, the abortion chain received nearly $800 million in taxpayer funding annually.
But why?
The answer to that question is far uglier and more sinister than you might expect. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we look into the strange sequence of events that led the United States to start shilling out big bucks to America's leading abortion chain.

Jesus spoke thousands of years ago and thousands of miles away to a culture much different from ours. And yet His divine Words speak intimately to each of us here and now.
On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we review 10 sayings of Jesus from the Gospel of Luke that are particularly relevant for pro-lifers.
Most 40 Days for Life campaigns take place in front of abortion facilities...
...however, a lot of campaign teams stand vigil in front of Planned Parenthood referral locations, which direct women to the facilities that actually perform the abortions.
Is it still worth praying in front of abortion referral centers that don't kill babies on site?
Absolutely. And it might be even MORE important. Find out why on this episode of The 4...
Are abortion restrictions and the defunding of Planned Parenthood the cause of more newborn babies being abandoned? On this listener-requested episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss Safe Haven laws and efforts to prevent infant abandonment. We also consider objections to Save Haven laws and baby boxes...from both abortion supporters AND pro-lifers!

We've all heard of the seven deadly sins. But what are they, and what is the antidote? How do they relate to us as pro-lifers?

It's Back to School time. But is your kids' school undermining your pro-life, Christian values? Some educators are teaching a lot more than reading, writing, and arithmetic.
