Explicitly Pro-Life

In this episode of The Kristan Hawkins Show, we break down the shocking numbers from Planned Parenthood's new annual report:   ➡️ Over 400,000 abortions committed in a single year ➡️ Federal funding is UP while real healthcare is DOWN   Other topics discussed: ➡️ 3 Republican representatives are blocking defunding efforts ➡️ Trump's DOJ joins Biden in dismissing an abortion pill lawsuit   PLUS: America's own Cardinal Prevost is now Pope Leo XIV, and he's pro-life.  

  Today on The Kristan Hawkins Show we're unpacking:   - 13 Planned Parenthood Vendors Closed in 2025 – Illinois, Michigan, NYC, Utah, Vermont. Why are there so many closures? - Groundbreaking JAMA Study – Chemical Abortion Pill complication rate is 22× higher than FDA's, with 1 in 9 women at risk. - Surge of OB/GYNs in Pro-Life States – New JAMA analysis contradicts media panic. - Spotting Fake Dobbs Data – Don't be fooled by flawed reports on maternal outcomes and birth rates.  

In this episode of The Kristan Hawkins Show:   Pop artist Chappell Roan says her mom friends are “in hell.” I respond with data, truth, and a message for young women bombarded with lies about motherhood.   We break down how your tax dollars are still funding Planned Parenthood—and how Congress keeps letting it happen.   Plus, a post-Easter reflection: the violence of abortion and what it reveals about our national soul.  

Today we're unpacking some confusion about Planned Parenthood and the Trump Administration. Contrary to what some headlines claimed, Planned Parenthood has not been fully defunded—but there was a small step taken in the right direction. I'll explain what happened and what still needs to be done.   PLUS: A major Supreme Court case out of South Carolina could allow states to finally block Planned Parenthood from Medicaid programs. This is a big opportunity—and we're diving into what it means and where it's headed.   Also: A heartbreaking miscarriage story in Georgia went viral after a woman was arrested for how she handled her preborn baby's remains. There's a lot of misinformation circulating—I'll walk through what we know and talk about how we can better support women after loss.  

This has been a terrible year for Planned Parenthood. From tragic deaths to Chemical Abortion dangers and vendor closures, the abortion Goliath faces scrutiny like never before. On this episode of The Kristan Hawkins Show, Kristan exposes the truth about Planned Parenthood and how we are leading the fight to protect women and preborn children.  

Did you ever think pro-lifers in the West could risk being convicted of a crime for silently praying in their own homes? That day has arrived.   In today's episode, we dive into some WILD stories from the U.K. about what pro-life advocates are up against. From a midwife trainee expelled for being pro-life to a man ARRESTED in England for SILENTLY PRAYING near an abortion facility—it's downright Orwellian.   But what does this mean for us in the U.S.? The uncomfortable truth is that America isn't as far off from the U.K.'s path as you might think. We need to take action now to protect our freedoms before it's too late.   Let's talk about what's happening and what we can do about it.  

In today's episode, we are discussing the numerous states battles our Students for Life Action team has been working on over the last few months & how you can help.    2025 has been off to a fast start with a ton of pro-life bills on the move this legislative season. But as you've probably heard me say before: Republican leadership in a lot of places can't be trusted. They're like the heads of 50 little swamps, and unless we act, and educate voters about their failures to advance legislation, nothing is going to move.    Help us out in each of the 10 states I mention in this episode by taking action below:   South Carolina: StudentsforLifeAction.org/SouthCarolina   Kentucky: StudentsforLifeAction.org/KY   Montana: Sign up for our email list at StudentsforLifeAction.org/GetInvolved to stay tuned for opportunities to help.   Oklahoma: StudentsforLifeAction.org/Oklahoma   Wyoming: Sign up for our email list at StudentsforLifeAction.org/GetInvolved to stay tuned for opportunities to help.   Iowa: Sign up for our email list at StudentsforLifeAction.org/GetInvolved to stay tuned for opportunities to help.   Idaho: StudentsforLifeAction.org/Idaho   West Virginia: StudentsforLifeAction.org/WV   Maine: Email us at Maine@studentsforlife.org to get involved.   Florida: Email us at Florida@studentsforlife.org to get involved.    Follow/Subscribe to The Kristan Hawkins Show:  @KristanHawkinsSFLA     Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/kristanmercerhawkins/ X: https://x.com/KristanHawkins Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/HawkinsKristan   To hear from me DAILY on pro-life news that you need to know, join my personal text line by texting “KRISTAN” to 53445.

In today's episode, we discuss a weird and incorrect interpretation of the 14th Amendment that gave us Roe v. Wade in 1973. Ironically, the 14th Amendment could be carving the path to federal protections for preborn babies in America.   Also, Defunding Planned Parenthood is back in the news and I've got you covered with the latest update.   Make sure to subscribe and follow for more discussions like this.

In today's episode, we discuss the issue with IVF and how Trump could promote other alternatives.

Also, we have good news about maternal mortality in the U.S. and why pro-lifers deserve some credit for that.

Today, on The Kristan Hawkins Show, we are talking about a New York law you probably haven't heard of, but need to know about. It forces private employers to pay for prenatal leave, which sounds great. But hold your horses because in New York, all roads lead to abortion.    Secondly, with President Trump's inauguration right around the corner, it's time to look back and bid “good riddance” to the most pro-abortion president of our lifetime. We're going to talk about the trash abortion legacy Joe Biden is leaving for the United States to clean up. History books are not going to look kindly on what has happened here over the last 4 years.     And finally, there's a free speech case you don't want to miss happening in Texas – I have the “Sparknotes” version of what you need to know. I'm personally really excited to watch this unfold because it will have big implications on how our laws protect children.      Make sure to subscribe and follow for more discussions like this.

Welcome back to The Kristan Hawkins Show, AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! For the LAST episode of the year, we are recapping 2024! Obviously, the biggest news of the year was the election. Nobody knew what the outcome would be – but November 5th came and proved to be a decisive victory for the pro-life movement.  The abortion lobby, their politicians, and their supporters seemed shocked. After all, we were outspent by hundreds of millions and never had the likes of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, or Eminem stumping for us.    But WE weren't surprised by the results. How could we be, when you look at all the success the Pro-Life Gen has had this year?    I discuss the biggest wins & more on this week's episode!    Make sure to subscribe and follow for more discussions like this.

Angela Harders said no to abortion over nine years ago. The decision came with two life-changing phone calls, one to a pregnancy care center and the other to a Planned Parenthood.    Why did she choose life and decide not to go to the Planned Parenthood?

Wade, the nation's number one abortion vendor is quietly raking in more money and ending more lives in the last two years.

Most people do not realize that sometimes abortion procedures fail, are stopped, or reversed (abortion pill), and survivors EXIST. In fact, it was found that there were 1,734 abortion survivors in the U.S. alone in 2020 (and probably more). On today's episode, we are joined by Melissa Ohden, the founder of The Abortion Survivors Network, who has spent her entire life fighting for the unborn and those who were “accidentally born alive” from a failed abortion. As an abortion survivor herself, we'll dive into how that has shaped her life, her family, and her purpose on earth.   Available NOW on: ExplicitlyProLife.com or wherever you get your podcasts!  ✓ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2X15zlZ ✓ Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/30ZA8tw ✓ Google Podcast: https://bit.ly/30V0Kfd   Connect with Kristan:  ✓ Kristan's website: https://bit.ly/3zsv1os ✓ Kristan's YouTube: https://bit.ly/3IVonKg

Malta, an island country in the Mediterranean near Italy, remains one of the LAST countries in Europe that still protects preborn life. It is ILLEGAL to kill a child in the womb, AND they've had NO maternal mortalities for the past dozen years, which is the lowest maternal mortality ratio in the world despite its protective pro-life laws.   Dr. Miriam Sciberras, the CEO of Life Network Malta, joins Kristan Hawkins on "Explicitly Pro-Life" to discuss her journey on the fore-front of the fight to keep abortion out of the island nation.   Available NOW on: ExplicitlyProLife.com or wherever you get your podcasts!  ✓ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2X15zlZ ✓ Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/30ZA8tw ✓ Google Podcast: https://bit.ly/30V0Kfd   Connect with Kristan:  ✓ Kristan's website: https://bit.ly/3zsv1os ✓ Kristan's YouTube: https://bit.ly/3IVonKg    

When faced with an unexpected pregnancy, the pro-life movement encourages women and families to seek life-affirming resources that don't include abortion. Some life-affirming resources for parents that are unable to raise their child include Safe Havens, foster care, and adoption. While reforms are needed to better the foster care and adoption systems, these programs are still helping families who want to have children become parents and – most importantly – giving the chance for preborn babies to experience life.      On today's episode, Kristan Hawkins sits down with Dr. Jacqueline Brown who is a clinical psychologist turned Christian fiction writer. As a psychologist, she specialized in working with women and girls who experienced trauma and entanglement with the criminal and juvenile justice systems. She is a wife and mother of three beautiful children. She is blessed to have been gifted her children through adoption and loves speaking about the beauty of adoption.    They discuss the most pressing questions about the foster care system, adoption, and how to improve both those pathways for children.   Available NOW on: ExplicitlyProLife.com or wherever you get your podcasts!  ✓ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2X15zlZ ✓ Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/30ZA8tw ✓ Google Podcast: https://bit.ly/30V0Kfd Connect with Kristan:  ✓ Kristan's website: https://bit.ly/3zsv1os

Recently, voters in Ohio approved a ballot referendum, Issue 1, which will enshrine the “right to abortion” through all nine months for any reason in their state constitution. Ohio is now another state that has fallen victim to well-funded misinformation campaigns. Passing with a 57% majority, this result should signal two things for the Pro-Life Movement: 1) The Pro-Life movement's battle following the reversal of Roe will be a marathon, not a sprint; 2) We still missed the mark in communicating to voters the extremism of the pro-abortion proposal.    On this week's episode, Kristan Hawkins talks with three Students for Life of America and Students for Life Action Employees: Michele Hendrickson, our Strategic Initiatives Director,  Jordan Moorman, our political field coordinator, and Jamie Curry, our Ohio Regional Coordinator. They discuss our own exit poll to discover what messaging most compelled a youth voter's “yes” or “no” vote on Ohio's Issue 1, our own exit poll to discover what messaging most compelled a youth voter's “yes” or “no” vote on Ohio's Issue 1, what that will mean for other states, and how we can move forward.   Available NOW on: ExplicitlyProLife.com or wherever you get your podcasts!  ✓ Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2X15zlZ ✓ Apple Podcast: https://apple.co/30ZA8tw ✓ Google Podcast: https://bit.ly/30V0Kfd ✓ Stitcher: https://bit.ly/331EgvL Connect with Kristan:  ✓ Kristan's website: https://bit.ly/3zsv1os ✓ Kristan's YouTube: https://bit.ly/3IVonKg

One of the most sobering sentiments in politics in recent years is something Vice President Mike Pence pointed out during his tenure – that the number of families choosing abortion is roughly the same as the number of families hoping to adopt. It's a tragedy that adoption still has a stigma and that the process is often very complicated and very expensive.     On this week's episode of Explicitly Pro-Life, Kristan Hawkins is joined by Heather Mellott, Founder and president of Adoption Finder, a nonprofit organization that aims to bridge the gap between adopting families and unplanned pregnancy.
