Most birth control users don't know that many forms of contraception can actually cause early abortions--before a woman even knows she's pregnant. 

Recently, we received a letter from a woman who just learned about the abortifacient mechanism of birth control pills...and was horrified to consider that those pills might have cost the lives of numerous children.

On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, we share:

  • hope for women who fear they've unintentionally ended the lives of children by using the Pill;
  • how the Pill actually works;
  • why most people don't actually know contraceptives can function as abortifacients;
  • much more!

Hosted by Steve Karlen, the 40 Days for Life Podcast is a weekly conversation rooted in action and hope. It moves beyond abstract debate, focusing instead on the tangible, often personal ways individuals engage with one of the most profound issues within culture and society. Each episode connects the principles of faith and philosophy to the practical work of building a world that values life. You’ll hear from Shawn Carney and a variety of co-hosts and guests who share firsthand accounts from the front lines-stories that are not only inspiring but demonstrate real-world impact. The discussions in this podcast naturally explore strategy, personal conviction, and the occasional moment of levity that sustains long-term commitment. It’s about equipping a global community with perspective and tools, fostering a spirituality that is active and compassionate. The tone is direct and earnest, reflecting the experiences of a movement that spans across different backgrounds. Listeners will find a space that is both challenging and supportive, dedicated to thoughtful dialogue and the shared belief that local action contributes to a larger cultural shift. This is for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how faith intersects with civic life and personal responsibility, offering more than just commentary but a sense of shared purpose.
