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

Even after more than five decades, nobody is comfortable with abortion. That's why abortion advocates prefer to avoid talking about abortion--and instead frame the conversation as a matter of "choice." But the proliferation of unregulated abortion pills is taking that choice away from women.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we meet the people using abortion pills to trick, force, or coerce women into abortions against their will.

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.

What is the moral thing to do with these "spare" human beings?

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.

The federal government defunded Planned Parenthood in July of 2025, which will cost the abortion giant hundreds of millions of dollars over a year.

But where else does Planned Parenthood get funding? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we explore revenue sources that might surprise you.

Christians have spent decades fighting back against the War on Christmas.

But while woke culture and corporate America conspire to replace the birth of our Lord with a generic "holiday" that's little more than an excuse to sell discount electronics, there's a much greater offense against the birth of our Lord: abortion.

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

After years of fighting "the patriarchy," pop icon Taylor Swift is ready to settle down and start a family...and many of her fans are NOT happy. On this highly contentious episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we argue about whether Swift's turn to a family "era" is sincere or a publicity stunt--and why her liberal fans feel betrayed.
