#60: Listener Mail - Pro-Life Atheists, Auditing Pro-Life Internet Commenter

Download | Duration: 00:38:43


The Life Report team responds to listener emails that have been piling up lately.

Quick note from Josh: When I was listening back to this, I noticed that in my advice to internet commenter Paul, I kind of made it sound like when I tell abortion advocates I'm open-minded to their views, that I'm just using fake talking points. I didn't mean for it to sound that way. I TRULY AM open-minded in conversations like this. I've actually altered my views on several facets of the abortion issue since getting into pro-life activism. Don't just say you're open minded if you don't mean it and are just trying to lull the other person into a false sense of security. Either actually be open minded, or don't say anything about being open minded at all.

Listener Mail Questions:
  1. "Is Randy Alcorn out of line when he implies in his book that it's surprising when some atheists become pro-life?"
  2. "Can you audit my internet debating skills on abortion?"

#59: Josh Comments on Pro-Choice Blog; Article Condemns Women Who Regret Abortion

Download | Duration: 00:31:48


Josh recounts commenting on RHRealityCheck's blog after a recent bit of abortion-related violence, and why you should do that too! Than Carrie reacts to an article written by a pro-choicer condemning women who say publicly that they regret their personal abortion!

SLIGHT DISCLAIMER: The first 5 minutes of this show are probably about the funniest 5 minutes we've ever recorded, but they have little if anything to do with pro-life issues. If you just want to hear the intellectual side of our podcast, start the show at about 6 minutes in.

#58: Howard Stern Show Doesn't Like Us/Debating the Banned Superbowl Ad by CatholicVote.org

Download | Duration: 00:33:49


Surprise, the Howard Stern show, (or at least one of their members,) is not a big fan of our show. Shocking. Josh explains.

After telling that story, Josh and Jon get into a spirited debate about the popular second CatholicVote.org commercial. (The ad that was not allowed to air during the last Superbowl.) Josh's position is that while the commercial makes an effective emotional appeal, it sends the wrong message. Jon argues that most people won't think about it in the way Josh is and that the commercial should be supported in absence of better alternatives. Listen to the debate and then tell us what you think!

Bryan Kemper of Stand True Ministries takes on the Life Report Questionnaire. Here are the 9 questions that we will ask EVERY "pro-life celebrity" we interview on our show:
  1. What did you get in trouble for as a child?
  2. What is your favorite movie, and why?
  3. What has been the pro-life movement’s greatest victory (or victories) so far?
  4. What has been the pro-life movement’s greatest failing or weakness?
  5. Graphic Pictures: Should we use them, and if so, how, when, and where?
  6. Stem Cell Research & Human Cloning: What should pro-lifers be doing about this, and why?
  7. Assisted Suicide & Euthanasia: What should pro-lifers be doing about this, and why?
  8. How should pro-lifers interact with those who are pro-abortion-choice?
  9. What single thing should pro-lifers be doing that most are NOT doing right now?
Highlight: In response to question #8, Bryan gives a passionate appeal for pro-lifers to treat abortion advocates the same way we would treat anybody else, based on his personal testimony.

Josh Brahm: "Making Abortion Unthinkable" (Full Audio - Extended Version)

Download | Duration: 01:00:38

So, our podcast schedule has gotten messed up lately due to a speaking tour in GA Josh did recently, and some fundraising work for Right to Life he's needed to participate in. (There's no podcast if we can't pay the bills!) In the meantime, we'd encourage you to check out the archives, in case you've missed any episodes. 

Also, we are publishing a FREE 60-minute MP3 from a recent presentation Josh gave in front of a 200+ audience teaching them how to defend their pro-life views. Whether you are new to the pro-life world, or if you’re an expert on the issue of abortion, you are sure to learn something in this presentation that is designed to challenge, educate and equip you on the abortion issue. Learn how to defend the pro-life position with air-tight scientific and philosophic arguments. Josh also discusses how to properly respond to the question, "what if she was raped?"

Most organizations would sell the full presentation recordings on CD's, but we have committed to making everything we produce free, to equip pro-life advocates to better defend their views in the marketplace of ideas.

We'll be publishing more audio from Josh's speeches in the near future, so stay tuned...

#54: Responding to "Pro-Life Lies" Video - Part 7

Download | Duration: 00:25:48


It's part 7 of the continuing series responding to Kenna's pro-choice video: "Pro-Life Lies." The video lists 55 "pro-life lies" she's heard, and in this series, we're responding to them all! (And pro-lifers are often surprised by our stance on some of these...)

In this episode, we respond to the statements:
  • "The heart beats, therefore it is wrong to kill it."
  • "Fetuses can think."
  • "Abortion causes breast cancer."
  • "People who can't afford children shouldn't have sex."
For further study...
  • Download HDRC's fact sheet on the abortion breast cancer link. (This is what Josh referenced on the show.)
  • Click here for more on the biological explanation for the abortion/breast cancer link.

If you're as big a fan of Scott as I am...
