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

Even though 40 Days for Life is peaceful, prayerful, and law-abiding, sometimes the horror of abortion can make us angry. Is it wrong to get angry? And how do we handle anger?

We address those questions on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

In Vitro Fertilization is a dehumanizing business. And after IVF clients are finished attempting to conceive artificially, there are usually leftover embryos. Some are discarded. Others are destroyed for medical research. And many are frozen in a state of suspended animation.

Some pro-lifers are adopting them, having them implanted in their wombs, and bringing these babies to term to prevent them from being destroyed or remaining in a storage facility indefinitely. Is that the right approach? We discuss that tough question on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.

We expose--and explain--the abortion industry's attempt to co-opt Christmas on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast.
