We're Spreading Misinformation--PODCAST Season 10, episode 45 Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

Banter ends at 13:40

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 platforms silencing pro-life voices--and how they're doing it.

Saving Private Karlen--PODCAST Season 10, episode 44 Nov 04, 2025

Show notes

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 mortar attack, shot in the arm, and shot in the head. A hand grenade nearly cost him his fingers. A "Bouncing Betty" landmine came close to killing him.

This past summer, 40 Days for Life campaign director Steve Karlen trekked through the French countryside to retrace his grandfather's footsteps in search of the man who saved Joe's life and his entire family tree. What Steve discovered in the French countryside will astound and inspire you.

Join Steve's stunning journey on an episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast unlike any other.

Birth Control Is a Blessing...--PODCAST Season 10, episode 43 Oct 28, 2025

Show notes

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 discuss Dr. Edward Green's explanation of the concept of risk compensation. Dr. Green describes the phenomenon using the examples of HIV and sun exposure. We apply the principle to contraception and pregnancy. See this interview for more information: bbc.co.uk/blogs/ni/2009/03/aids_expert_who_defended_the_p.html

Halloween, the Occult, and Ghostbusters--PODCAST Season 10, episode 42 Oct 21, 2025

Show notes

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 macabre, and whether it can be redeemed.

Old School Vs. New School--PODCAST Season 10, episode 41 Oct 14, 2025

Show notes

Football banter ends at 13:00

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 affiliate. What we found was astonishing: -The statistic that blows Planned Parenthood's claim that abortion is only three percent of its services out of the water; -A shocking number of "gender-affirming" services; -More eugenics; -Planned Parenthood's bizarre after-school teen sex "health" club; -Startlingly weak grassroots activism that shows abortion just isn't a political winner anymore.

Find out what local Planned Parenthood facilities are up to on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

End of Life and Dying with Dignity--PODCAST Season 10, episode 40 Oct 07, 2025

Show notes

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.
