The pick is in! President Trump has nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the United States Supreme Court.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, 40 Days for Life General Counsel Matt Britton, and Steve Karlen discuss:

• Who is Amy Coney Barrett?
• Will she be approved by the Senate?
• How will pro-abortion politicians try to derail the nomination?
• What does Barrett's nomination mean for the future of Roe v. Wade?

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died this weekend at the age of 87. With the Presidential Election just six weeks away, will President Trump have time to fill the seat? 

On this week's episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, 40 Days for Life President and CEO Shawn Carney, General Counsel Matt Britton, and Campaign Director Steve Karlen address:

• How the "Notorious RBG" became an icon--for all the wrong reasons
• Whether it's too soon to talk politics after Bader Ginsburg's passing
• Who President Trump is considering to fill the opening on the nation's highest court--and the obstacles in his way

Pro-lifers everywhere know that the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision legalized abortion in all 50 states...

...but did you know the case was riddled with intrigue, alliances, wheeling, and dealing? In the upcoming film, Roe v. Wade, writer, director, and actor Nick Loeb shines a light on the decision that ushered in the worst human rights crisis in history. After the breakout box office success of Gosnell and Unplanned, Roe v. Wade is poised to become the latest Hollywood blockbuster to bring the truth about abortion to the big screen. 

We talk with Nick Loeb about how he made the film, why he made the film, and what he hopes the Roe v. Wade movie will accomplish. 

"I want to pray for an end to abortion--but how do I pray for an hour (or more!) straight? Won't I run out of prayers?"

It's a common question...but in his Letter to the Thessalonians, Paul exhorts us to "Pray without ceasing." On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Steve Karlen, Sue Thayer, and Dr. Haywood Robinson provide six ideas for prayer during your prayer shifts at the September 23 - November 1 40 Days for Life vigil:

1. Formal prayers: The Lord taught us the Our Father, but there are many other rote prayers you can use--and parse--when you speak with God.
2. Songs, Psalms, and hymns! It's been said that when you sing, you pray twice. 
3. Scripture: God speaks to us through His Word. 
4. Spontaneous prayers: Have a heart-to-heart with the Lord.
5. Silence: Prayer isn't just talking with God. It's listening to Him too!
6. Specific prayers for specific intentions: Pray for the woman who just walked into the abortion facility; for workers, volunteers and supporters of the abortion facility; or for a loved one who is post-abortive.

We also discuss how pro-lifers from different faith traditions can unite--without abandoning their own prayer style. 

2020 has been a year of bad news...

..but don't get discouraged! There's a LOT of good news. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Dr. Haywood Robinson, and Steve Karlen discuss FIVE signs that prove the pro-life movement is winning:

1. The pro-life position is more politically popular than ever before
2. Abortion advocates' rhetoric is getting more desperate
3. State-level policy is more pro-life
4. Young people are increasingly pro-life
5. Pro-life prayer is more popular than ever before

Don't let a hard year get you down. Listen in for some sorely needed good news!

The September 23 - November 1 40 Days for Life campaign will be like no other. 

But amidst conflicts over COVID-19, racial violence, and an ugly presidential election, we can't let fatigue keep us from bringing hope to abortion facilities. 

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we get back to basics as we discuss:

• the role of 40 Days for Life prayer warriors in the timeless battle of God vs. Godlessness
• the emergency operations plan we developed to equip 40 Days for Life campaign leaders for this fall's unique obstacles, challenges, and threats
• why pro-lifers should NOT be afraid to hit the sidewalks to stand in peaceful, pro-life vigil

There's never been a better time to end abortion where you live. Find your location and sign up to pray at 40daysforlife.com/location. 

Does electing pro-abortion politicians who enact governmental social programs save lives from abortion?

Professor Michael New has researched the question, and the answer is a resounding "no." Instead, the Catholic University of America professor--who earned his PhD at Stanford and did post-doc work at the Harvard-MIT Data Center--determined that pro-life laws, grassroots pro-life efforts, and the use of ultrasound technology have saved millions of lives from abortion.  

Tune in to this week's podcast to learn more about what does and does not spare women and babies the violence of abortion!

Nobody in the pro-life movement has insights into the abortion industry like a former abortion worker. 

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, longtime Planned Parenthood manager and 40 Days for Life Outreach Director Sue Thayer and former abortion provider turned 40 Days for Life Director of Medical Affairs & Education Dr. Haywood Robinson answer YOUR questions about the world's most gruesome line of work.  

Sue and Dr. Robinson discuss:

• Planned Parenthood's grisly litmus test for which employees will rise through the ranks of America's leading abortion provider
• What to say--and NOT to say--to abortion workers at your 40 Days for Life vigil
• The "God-like" sense of self abortion workers develop
• The social implications of being an abortion worker--and of leaving the industry

207 abortion workers have left their jobs and become pro-life after a 40 Days for Life vigil was held in front of their workplace. Tune in to this week's podcast...and pray that converted abortion worker #208 will be in your city this September 23 - November 1!
