Have you ever been told that a preborn child isn't a person? That he or she is just a "clump of cells"?

It's a common pro-abortion argument. Sadly, many people don't believe that preborn children are persons. Instead, they view abortion as a political issue—an argument over a woman’s autonomy, not a matter of life and death.

So, how can you help people grasp the humanity of the preborn? What examples can you use to show the world that preborn children are, in fact, children?

On this episode, Dr. William Lile, the Pro-Life Doc, joins us to share some amazing medical procedures that can be performed on children in the womb. Dr. Lile is an OB/GYN, who is passionate about giving pro-lifers the tools they need to defend the preborn.

Dr. Lile’s real-life examples of fetal surgeries can help YOU illustrate the humanity of preborn babies.

Is it wrong to say “congratulations” to a single mom, when you find out she’s expecting?

This might not sound controversial. But earlier this year, pro-lifers on X ended up in a heated debate over this very question.

Some people claimed that saying “congratulations” glorifies and condones a sinful act. Others say that this is the appropriate response to any new child’s life, no matter how he or she was conceived.

The online debate brought to the surface a deeper question as well. In the pro-life movement’s focus on empowering single moms to choose life, are pro-lifers diminishing the importance of marriage and fatherhood? Have pro-lifers embraced a toxic form of “feminism”?

On this episode, Fr. Shenan Boquet tackles these important questions. He explains how pro-lifers can both help single moms and uphold God's plan for family life.

Living the Culture of Life

When people imagine a “traditional family” they often think of a stay-at-home mom and a father who works outside of the home. But is this accurate?

Historically, married couples shared the work of raising a family. Up until the Industrial Revolution, the day-to-day work of everyday life was done within a household. This work strengthened marriages and helped the family thrive.

On this episode, Dr. John Cuddeback joins us to discuss the importance of intentional work within a modern household. How can spouses create a thriving environment for their family? How does working side by side strengthen relationships? And does “working from home” fulfil this human need?

What's the state of life and family in Ireland? Can a country, which was once a vibrant Catholic nation, turn back to God and reject the culture of death?

Fr. Boquet says yes! He just returned from a mission with HLI Ireland. The state of life and family in Ireland is poor. However, Fr. Boquet sees great signs of hope.

We unpack the current state of affairs regarding abortion, the demographic winter, and free speech. We also discuss spiritual despair and the legend of St. Patrick's final vision (plus, why it matters!).
