40 Days For Life Podcast

There are good and effective ways to encourage abortion staffers to leave their jobs…and misguided approaches that hurt more than they help. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Abby Johnson joins us to share what to say—and not to say—to your local abortion workers.

Former Planned Parenthood employees report that when YOU are present in prayer in front of an abortion facility, the no-show rate for abortion appointments goes as high as 75%. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share some of our most fulfilling stories from the sidewalks.

As we celebrate Thanksgiving—and head toward the end of the year—there’s plenty to be thankful for. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we recap the reasons to be grateful after another successful year for pro-lifers. And--just for fun--we share Shawn's experimental turkey recipe!

Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, 40 Days for Life participants have seen unprecedented persecution. That's why we established the 40 Days for Life Institute of Law and Justice earlier this year to protect prayer warriors' right to peacefully and lawfully pray for an end to abortion. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss why this is such a big deal--not just for pro-lifers but for all freedom-loving Americans.

The largest 40 Days for Life campaign in history is in the books! But that doesn’t mean our work is done. The abortion industry continues to prey on women and children on day 41. So how can we end abortion now that the vigil has concluded? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we give you suggestions on how to keep saving lives until the next 40 Days for Life campaign begins on February 14.

Recently on The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discussed how the savagery of Hamas in the Holy Land was in many cases supported by and exploited by abortion advocates. While the world once again justifies the slaughter of Jews, 40 Days for Life president Shawn Carney recounts his trip to Auschwitz--and what the Holocaust teaches us about the dehumanization of unborn children today.

Compromise the sanctity of life in one domain, and you'll soon abandon it everywhere. It’s no surprise, then, that pro-abortion activists rushed to support the savagery of the radical Islamist terrorist group Hamas as it waged a genocidal campaign of violence against Israeli citizens earlier this month. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss how dehumanization begets dehumanization.

The killing of children is a profoundly demonic practice. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we explore the many connections between abortion and the demonic. We discuss: How abortion can open the door to demonic possession;  The spiritual transfer of ownership that took place when Christians acquired an abortion facility; Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's involvement in the occult; Much more!

How come Americans disagree so passionately over abortion? For starters, they can’t agree what abortion is. The pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute recently published the results of a 2020 survey in which respondents assessed whether they consider different pregnancy outcomes to be abortion, not abortion, or “maybe [abortion], it depends.” The results are baffling—but they also provide some clues about what pro-lifers need to do to win hearts and minds.

This September 27-November 5, 40 Days for Life participants in 681 cities around the world are united in prayer for moms and babies, for abortion workers, and for abortion facilities to close. But there are many more abortion-related concerns we should bring to the Lord this fall. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share important intentions for which to storm Heaven as you stand vigil in front of your local abortion business.

President Donald Trump recently blasted Florida’s six-week abortion ban, calling it a “terrible mistake.” Trump said that as president, he’d find a gestational age limit that would please both abortion supporters and pro-lifers. The surprising remarks were at odds with Trump’s record as America’s most pro-life president. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss just what in the world Trump was talking about.

The September 27-November 5 40 Days for Life campaign begins next week in 681 cities worldwide. And while more than a million people around the world have participated in a 40 Days for Life campaign, many pro-lifers haven’t made it out to the sidewalk. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share the most common reasons pro-lifers haven’t prayed at their local vigil…and then we overcome those objections so you no longer have any reason to avoid going out and saving a mom and baby from abortion!

Last month, the Center for Biblical Worldview at Family Research Council released the results of a comprehensive survey of American Christians’ attitudes on a variety of issues--including abortion. And these aren’t just Christians in name only. All respondents attend church services at least monthly. More than 70 percent attend weekly. There’s good news and bad news. But most of all, there’s opportunity. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we dive deeply into what American churchgoers really think about abortion.

Pro-lifers are used to getting kicked in the teeth by the courts... ...but that's changing. The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. 40 Days for Life volunteer Mark Houck was acquitted in an hour. A Texas court ruled against a reckless expansion of abortion pills. A New York county just abandoned a bubble zone provision before federal courts could strike it down. And there's more to come with the launch of the 40 Days for Life Institute of Law and Justice.  On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, 40 Days for Life general counsel Matt Britton breaks down the latest legal developments in post-Roe America--including why pro-lifers are finally winning in court.

We’re now less than a month away from day 1 of the largest 40 Days for Life campaign in history! As you hit the sidewalks this fall, you’ll save lives and change hearts…and you’ll also learn a lot! On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we’ll count down the top seven things you learn when you join your local 40 Days for Life vigil.

Recently on The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we had a two-part series looking back on the good, the bad, and the ugly of “Pride Month” (season 8, episode 29, on the L.A. Dodgers and the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" and season 8, episode 30, on signs that the Pride Movement has run its course). Some pro-lifers would prefer to ignore LGBTQ issues. After all, what does homosexuality have to do with abortion? Should we “stick to abortion”? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we’ll share why defending unborn babies and God’s design for sexuality go hand in hand.

Are men allowed to have an opinion on abortion? For all the pro-abortion rallying cries of "No uterus, no opinion," men play a vital role in the abortion debate. On this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss: Why WOMEN want men involved in the pro-life movement; The key reason abortion-minded women respond to the presence of men at a 40 Days for Life vigil; How every man is called to defend women and children.

Brooke Alexander and Billy High had been dating for just a few months. But a late-summer pregnancy test in 2021 changed everything. Brooke was carrying twins! The Washington Post first reported on Brooke and Billy just days before the Supreme Court overturned Roe, seemingly lamenting that the Texas Heartbeat Act prevented them from getting an abortion. A little more than a year later, The Washington Post is checking in with them again with an article that suggests their lives would have been much better had they gotten an abortion instead of their two beautiful little girls. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we break down the irresponsible articles.

It’s no secret that abortion is one of the most controversial topics of our time. Naturally, anger arises in people on both sides of the issue.  On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we discuss beautiful encounters in which 40 Days for Life participants' peaceful, loving approach has led angry people to make a 180-degree turn in their behavior and attitude toward pro-lifers.

Nearly four weeks have passed since “Pride Month” ended. But this year, the month-long celebration of sexual confusion and perversion went out with a whimper. After two decades of losing ground on marriage, family, and our very nature, is 2023 the year the Western World begins the long journey back to sanity? It’s too early to tell, but June provided signs that the culture just might be sick of celebrating sexual deviance. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we recap seven encouraging victories of this year's Pride Month.
