40 Days for Life Podcast

Why are progressives so bad at making the case for abortion? The overturning of Roe v. Wade four years ago didn't take place in a vacuum. It was the culmination of pro-choicers' decades-long failure to make an articulate case for abortion. How could such a powerful movement utterly lose the ability to make a cogent argument? We break it down on this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

The world is experiencing a fertility collapse. But why? According to demographer Lyman Stone, it's not that people desire fewer children than they did in past generations. They want as many children as previous generations did…but they aren't getting married. In other words, to reverse the fertility spiral, we need to make marriage great again. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at why marriage is in decline. Next week, we'll talk about how to fix it.

Throughout history, Christians were disproportionately likely to become doctors because Christ was a healer. Today, the medical field has been compromised by the acceptance of abortion, birth control, euthanasia and other practices that harm rather than heal. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Dr. Monique Ruberu joins us to discuss: how she found the courage to quit prescribing contraceptives and become a 100% pro-life physician; the fear that limits medical innovation; her new app, which empowers women to improve their health--naturally and morally; much more!

This summer marks America's 250th birthday!

Banter ends at 15:25 Cheer up, it's Lent! Lent is a time of penance and fasting, but that doesn't mean you have to be miserable. Instead, it's a time to master ourselves and to draw near to the ultimate source of happiness: Jesus Christ. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at how NOT to approach Lent, and consider ways that can help us grow closer to Christ in His passion, cross, and resurrection.

Banter ends at 21:03 The February 18-March 29 40 Days for Life vigil is coming up, and excitement is building... ...but not everybody is happy to see you on the sidewalk. When you're out praying, it's usually only a matter of time before somebody drives by to heckle you. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share the favorite insults we've ever received out on the sidewalk. "Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you [falsely] because of me." Matthew 5:11

Abortion is the most controversial topic in the world…so it's not surprising that it inspires anger on both sides of the issue.
