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.

Social media was supposed to advance freedom of speech by increasing access to the marketplace of ideas. Instead, the government and Big Tech teamed up to suppress and even punish pro-life speech as "dangerous" or "disinformation."

Has censorship of pro-life messaging improved under the Trump administration? It's complicated.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we take a look at the social media platforms silencing pro-life voices--and how they're doing it.

On Veterans Day, America pauses to honor the men and women in uniform who have sacrificed so much in defense of our country, our liberty, and our freedom...including the freedom to assemble in public to pray for an end to abortion.

One of those heroes, Private Joe Karlen, nearly drowned in the English Channel on his way to help liberate Europe from the Nazi occupation. After landing at Normandy, Joe was severely wounded by a mortar attack, shot in the arm, and shot in the head. A hand grenade nearly cost him his fingers. A "Bouncing Betty" landmine came close to killing him.

This past summer, 40 Days for Life campaign director Steve Karlen trekked through the French countryside to retrace his grandfather's footsteps in search of the man who saved Joe's life and his entire family tree. What Steve discovered in the French countryside will astound and inspire you.

Join Steve's stunning journey on an episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast unlike any other.
