The Pro-Life Guy's Podcast

While many people have an opinion on abortion (with varying degrees of depth...), there are many who wish to remain neutral, at times claiming, "Abortion doesn't impact me!".Whether said by someone who is pro-life, someone outside of traditional child-bearing age, a guy who can't bear a child, or someone else who may not be personally impacted by abortion access, it is important to engage them none-the-less, as many don't realize how influential their support, or tragically lack of support, may be for the lives of those around them.In today's episode, host Cam talks through the background and tools you need to clearly and concisely respond to this attempt to avoid engaging on this issue which results in the death of tens of thousands of little boys and girls in Canada every year.Don't forget to like and subscribe, especially to the PLG YouTube channel to make sure that more people are reached with this important content: https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastConnect with Cam at email@prolifeguys.com with your ideas, suggestions, and questions!

For some, Christmas cooking, church services, and family get togethers are enough to keep conversations about abortion to a minimum, whereas for others, it's a time to discuss and debate the happenings of our world, more and more of which seem to be touching the abortion crisis.In this episode, host Cam talks about how to navigate conversations about abortion over your Christmas break, whether you are initiating the conversations, or whether you are being invited (or even forced) into them!Starting with the principle of not being weird, Cam talks through different strategies not only for starting conversations with friends and family about this cultural crisis, but often even more importantly about how to manage the conversation in such a way that it leaves the door open for more productive conversations in the future.Please like and subscribe to the PLG podcast on both your favourite podcatcher and on YouTube, at https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastContact Cam with ideas, questions, and comments at email@prolifeguys.com

For pro-life and pro-choice advocates alike, the question, "What if the child has a disability?" often results in a moment's pause, as the focus appears to have shifted from the pregnant mother to now include the developing child.While there are countless heartbreaking cases of young children growing up with regular or even constant pain and suffering, it is vital even (and arguably especially) now that we do not attempt to "solve" these difficult situations by intentionally killing innocent humans.In today's episode, host Cam explores the profound pain and suffering that not only children may encounter, but also by extension their parents and others in their lives. He talks about how recognition of these realities is essential, and advocates for effective and compassionate solutions which do not include killing children, whether before or after birth.Don't forget to like and subscribe on your favourite podcatcher, as well as on the PLG YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastTo check out Emily Perl Kingsley's touching poem entitled, "Welcome to Holland", go to: https://www.dsasc.ca/uploads/8/5/3/9/8539131/welcome_to_holland.pdfContact Cam with ideas, suggestions, and questions at email@prolifeguys.com#prolife#plgpodcast#prolifegeneration

With the 2024 US election just over a month away, more and more conversations about abortion are being impacted by politics, particularly the politics of Donald Trump. So, how do you respond when Trump comes up in your pro-life conversations? In today's episode host Cam tackles just that! #prolife #trump #prolifegeneration #podcast Regardless of whether you're a massive Trump supporter, a "Never Trump" advocate, or anyone in between, it is vital that we ensure our conversations about abortion keep the main thing the main thing: Can we solve the very real, and very difficult problems of our world by killing innocent humans? In this episode, Cam talks through several strategies for how to pivot conversations back to the abortion crisis, how to think critically about imperfect politicians, and how to protect the lives of the weakest and most vulnerable.

Central to conversations about abortion is when human life begins, and in today's episode, host Cam takes a deep(er) dive into how to talk about the science of human life. The first step in establishing the importance of when human life begins is reiterating the human rights argument which includes the following questions:Do you agree all humans get human rights?If something is growing (in an organized way), isn't it alive?If that living organism has human parents, isn't he or she a living human?Doesn't that make abortion a human rights violation?Next, we'll offer clarifications, including at times tracing our lives back from our current age and stage of development to the moment of fertilization, before appealing to biological authorities and offering a more thorough understanding of the behaviour and composition of pre-born children which comprehensively demonstrate the presence of a new human life at the moment of fertilization.For Dr. Maureen Condic's article titled, "Defining Organisms by Organization", go to: https://www.pdcnet.org/collection/fshow?id=ncbq_2005_0005_0002_0331_0353&pdfname=ncbq_2005_0005_0002_0331_0353.pdf&file_type=pdfFor Dr. Maureen Condic's white paper on the beginning of human life, go to:https://bdfund.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/wi_whitepaper_life_print.pdfFor Dr. Steven Jacobs' study titled, "The Scientific Consensus on When a Human's Life Begins", go to: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36629778/To purchase a copy of CCBR's flagship apologetics book, "STUCK: A complete guide to answering tough questions about abortion", go to: https://prolifeguys.com/shop/To connect with Cam regarding questions, ideas, or comments, write to email@prolifeguys.com

Pro-lifers are confronted with a wide variety of justifications for abortion, and for many of us, we are tempted to either refute them by explaining why their justification is illogical, or to try and resolve the challenges brought forth.In today's episode, host Cam talks about why we should avoid refuting altogether in an effort to win people while being pro-life ambassadors, and why we should be wary of trying to resolve problems before working through the foundational principle that we cannot kill humans to solve problems.Thanks to all who have helped push the PLG YouTube subscribership to over 700 subscribers!

Better late than never to react to Harrison Butker's commencement address at Benedictine College, and to think about how to respond when famous people say pro-life things.In today's episode, Cam talks through the importance of researching the pro-life statement (and who actually said it), how these media sparks can be used to start conversations about abortion, and how important it is to connect with these courageous men and women and thank them for the aspects of their statements we agree with and appreciate.Thank you so much for getting the PLG podcast SOOOOO close to 700 subscribers on YouTube and over 150,000 downloads on podcatchers, and if you haven't subscribed already, please do so at https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastFor mor PLG Podast content, go to www.prolifeguys.comTo watch the full commencement address go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JS7RIKSaCcTo watch his follow up speech, go to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wJEsz2JdpIContact Cam with ideas, questions, and suggestions at email@prolifeguys.com

Pro-lifer advocates are often challenged with the question, "What about when the mother's life is in danger?", and regardless of whether this comes from a well-meaning pro-lifer struggling to come to terms with this crisis, or an abortion advocate using these scenarios as something of a Trojan horse, it is vital that pro-lifers respond with clarity and compassion. In today's episode, host Cam talks through how to navigate these conversations to help those we're speaking to appreciate that while medical intervention can absolutely be appropriate, the mechanical intentions of that intervention entirely dictates whether a particular procedure is appropriate. #prolifepodcast #prolife #prolifegeneration Check out the episode where Cam talked to Dr. Ryan Wilson from Canadian Physicians for Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifWsZ1hmBXI Don't forget to like and subscribe, and please send Cam an email with ideas and suggestions at email@prolifeguys.com

Some times when you are talking to an abortion advocate it becomes clear that they will not becoming fully pro-life (and maybe not even more pro-life) before the end of your conversation with them. Maybe they need to reflect upon the question of whether we can solve problems by killing humans, maybe they need to research when human life begins, maybe they need to consider whether they are comfortable discriminating human rights based on a human's age or ability. Whatever the reason, we must also consider whether we can help bring about smaller shifts, even if we won't be able to witness a full shift.In today's episode, host Cam talks about three strategies that can help generate meaningful break-throughs in yoru conversations, even if the person you're speaking with is unlikely to fully change their mind on abortion.#prolife#prolifepodcast#changemindssavelivesFor morePLG podcast content, go to: www.prolifeguys.comCheck out the PLG Podcast YouTube Channel, and don't foget to like and subscribe at https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastConnect with Cam with your questions, suggestions, and comments at: email@prolifeguys.com

Many pro-lifers have been told that pre-born children are simply parasites, leeching nutrients and energy from their mothers.While it can be tempting to try and explain how the relationship between mother and child is not simply one-sided, in today's episode, Cam explains how to address the underlying concerns which may be motivating abortion advocates, or simply those experiencing challenging pregnancies, to consider pre-born children to be parasites.#prolife#prolifepodcast#howtotalkaboutabortionFor more PLG podcast content, go to www.prolifeguys.comDon't forget to check out the PLG Podcast YouTube Channel and remember to like and subscribe here https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastTo connect with Cam for ideas, questions, or feedback, go to email@prolifeguys.com

While many pro-lifers (and even many abortion advocates) have come to accept and embrace the public display of abortion victim images, there are still at least some who question the strategy, asking questions about the impact abortion victim images have on one's worldview, on their likelihoood of supporting various forms of legislation, and most often the impact showing these images have on people's perception of the pro-life movement. In today's episode, Cam sits down with Trevor Polo from Protect Life Michigan to review and discuss comprehensive polling PLMi has recently conducted to answer the questions mentioned above. #prolife #abortion #abortionvictimimages #prolifepodcast To check out the study yourself and to learn more about Protect Life Michigan, go to: https://www.protectlifemi.org/strategy For more PLG Podcast content, go to: www.prolifeguys.com 00:00 Introduction 09:17 Trevor Polo and the role of effective pro-life strategies 20:45 New polling conducted by Protect Life Michigan 29:25 Impact of abortion victim images on abortion worldviews 36:30 Impact of abortion victim images on humanizing pre-born children 43:42 Impact of abortion victim images on perception of pro-lifers showing the images56:41 Impact of abortion victim images on support of restrictive legislation 01:17:15 Conclusion Thanks for hanging through this longer than normal episode, don't forget to like and subscribe to the show, and reach out to Cam at email@prolifeguys.com if you have suggestions for future topics or have any other feedback!

A recent study published in Scientific American suggests that since the overturning of Roe vs. Wade in 2022 via the Dobbs decision, approximately 59,000 women have become pregnant through sexual assault in states where abortion is illegal regardless of the circumstances of the child's conception.In light of this study, many pro-lifers are conflicted in their response, suggesting that these numbers must be somehow inflated or even else wondering if these laws might be illadvised. In today's episode, Cam talks through the crisis of sexual assault in our world, the need for greater protection for women, and tragically the urgent support for victims in today's society, before ending on how pro-lifers should compassionately communicate our shared conviction that these heinous crimes must be stopped, punished, and responded to in ways that support the victims, yet in ways which do not include killing the innocent child conceived through these brutal attacks.For more PLG podcast content, go to: www.prolifeguys.comTo read the full study, go to: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/64-000-pregnancies-caused-by-rape-have-occurred-in-states-with-a-total-abortion-ban-new-study-estimates/To check out the PLG Episode in which Cam and Pieter spoke with Aura, a survivor of sexual assault, go to: https://prolifeguys.com/episode-13/Check out the PLG Podcast YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastContact Cam with questions, comments, or suggestions at: email@prolifeguys.com
