This week on Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller break down a potentially monumental Supreme Court case that could reshape the landscape of chemical abortions in the U.S. They discuss the 5th Circuit's ruling against mailing Mifepristone, the Supreme Court's temporary stay, and the Trump administration's controversial legal stance.

Brandon Gill presses an abortion advocate to name her "favorite" abortion method—and her refusal to answer sparks a bigger conversation about the moral and cultural realities of abortion.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller explore the upcoming July 4th expiration of Planned Parenthood's defunding, the political challenges facing pro-lifers, and the missed opportunities of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. With humor, historical detours, and sharp analysis, they highlight what's at stake for the pro-life movement and why Republicans might be letting a once-in-a-lifetime chance slip away. 

In this episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive deep into the Department of Justice's 882-page report on the Biden administration's alleged weaponization of the FACE Act. They break down how the law—originally passed in 1994—has been applied almost exclusively to pro-life activists, the precedent it sets for First Amendment concerns, and why the federal government's involvement is controversial. The discussion then shifts to the rise of euthanasia and the dangerous euphemisms such as "medical aid in dying," highlighting how language shapes the debate on life issues. Finally, the show reflects on former Senator Ben Sasse's public journey through terminal illness and what it teaches about living—and dying—with dignity.

Later, John and Jonathan Keller discuss the conclusion of the legal saga surrounding David Daleiden and reflect on the impact of his undercover work exposing the fetal tissue trade.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller tackle Josh Hawley's push to ban Mifepristone, the Senate filibuster dilemma, and why Congress is stuck when it comes to pro-life legislation. They also cover California's March for Life, shady legislative tactics, and Safe Surrender bills that could actually save babies.  

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dig into California's SB 106 — a freshly signed bill giving Planned Parenthood's seven California affiliates a $90 million no-strings-attached giveaway, on top of the $140 million they already received in October. They break down why this is less about healthcare and more about political backscratching: Planned Parenthood championed Prop 50's redistricting initiative, whose new maps were drawn by Paul Mitchell — who happens to be married to Jody Hicks, CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. The guys also point out the glaring irony that the one Planned Parenthood service unaffected by the federal Medicaid cutoff is abortion — the very thing California is racing to protect with state dollars. The episode closes with a sharp analysis of Gavin Newsom's press conference signing ceremony, where his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom visibly mocked female journalists for asking tough questions about high-speed rail, the Capitol annex cost overruns, and the LA fires — rather than lobbing softballs about abortion. John and Jonathan argue Newsom isn't doing this for women's health; he's auditioning to be the Planned Parenthood candidate for 2028. The show wraps with event announcements: Golf for Life on April 27, 40 Days for Life underway, and the California March for Life on March 16.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller break down a California Assembly floor debate over a $900,000 no-strings-attached grant to Planned Parenthood — set against the backdrop of the federal defunding triggered by the "One Big Beautiful Bill." They play audio clips and dissect the political theater, including Assembly members Tangipa and De Mayo pushing back while Democrat colleagues defended the funding as "preventative care." The irony isn't lost on John and Jonathan: California styles itself a "reproductive healthcare haven," yet Madera County women have to leave the county to deliver a baby, Madera Community Hospital has no open maternity ward, and one in four California women get inadequate prenatal care. Meanwhile, Planned Parenthood pockets $90M free and clear while hospitals survive on loans. They also connect this to Prop 50's redistricting scheme (which Planned Parenthood helped fund) and close with a segment on why assisted suicide hasn't exploded in California the way it has in Canada — and why that could change.

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller debut Right to Life Radio on the "50,000-watt mega blowtorch" KMJ with a fiery discussion about the growing tensions between pro-life organizations and the Trump administration.

The hosts also analyze the 2022 midterms, why Trump's team wants to avoid the abortion conversation, and the controversy surrounding Josh and Erin Hawley's new "Love Life" initiative.  

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller wrap up 2025 with a frank pro-life year in review. They break down the highs and lows of the movement, from California's legislative battles and Gavin Newsom's "puddle of money" for Planned Parenthood to the historic—though temporary—defunding of the nation's largest abortion provider. The conversation also explores the growing threat of physician-assisted suicide, the stalled review of Mifepristone, and why the fight over abortion pills may define the future of the pro-life movement. Plus, a sneak peek at Right to Life Radio's exciting new home in 2026!  

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive into the latest news in the pro-life movement, starting with the aftermath of Right to Life of Central California's 37th Annual Christmas Dinner and Auction and the emotional tribute to Marianne Angelo.

John and Jonathan discuss whether the real issue lies with the commissioner—or with Donald Trump himself—and explore the broader challenges of the pro-life movement's standing within the conservative landscape. Plus, a detour into conspiracy theories, Candace Owens drama, and the generational divide in modern conservatism.  

John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller dive into Justice Anthony Kennedy's new memoir and tear apart his legacy on the Supreme Court, focusing on his swing vote in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that preserved Roe v. Wade for three more decades. They explore Kennedy's obsession with "liberty," his lack of judicial philosophy, and the devastating cultural impact of his decisions. Along the way, the conversation expands into reflections on the fragility of human life, from childbirth to the end of life, and why our culture's approach to sex and marriage is so deeply disordered.

In this week's episode of Right to Life Radio, John Gerardi and Jonathan Keller break down President Trump's new IVF policy, what it really means, why it's controversial, and how it fits into the bigger picture of life ethics and politics.

Wade, contributing to fewer adoptions and the closure of agencies like Infant of Prague. With humor, personal anecdotes from an Easter vigil, and a nod to Gerardi's National Review piece, the episode blends wit with a sobering look at the state of adoption and abortion policy in California.
