In this episode, Niall speaks to Robert Colquhoun, Director of International Campaigns for 40 Days for Life. Together, they explore the controversial issue of buffer zones around abortion clinics and the implications for free speech and peaceful assembly. Robert shares the challenges pro-life activists face in the UK and Ireland with the advent of these zones, which he describes as “censorship zones” that inhibit the right to “peacefully, prayerfully, and legally” assemble.Robert discusses how these zones restrict the ability to offer support and information to those considering abortion, noting that “it bans help where it's needed the most.” He points out that 40 Days for Life's vigils are peaceful and empathetic, aiming to provide “a simple offer of help” without judgment. He adds, “Silent prayer is actually one of the most effective ways of reaching those who are considering abortion.”The episode also touches on the broader social implications of abortion laws, with Robert warning of a “demographic crisis” in Europe and describing abortion as “not healthcare” but “the ending of a unique and unrepeatable human life.” Reflecting on the power of public witness and the pushback they receive, Robert remarks, “The bias in the media is genuinely extraordinary... the truth could not be further from what's often portrayed.”Tune in to hear an impassioned discussion on the intersection of free speech, activism, and the complexities surrounding abortion legislation.

St. Patrick went to a pagan land to bring the Gospel to a hostile people. He faced both rejection and harsh persecution. But he trusted in God, who used him to convert an entire country.  Pro-lifers can look to St. Patrick as a powerful example and inspiration in our efforts to bring the Gospel of Life to the neo-pagans of our post-Christian society. Our Lord's call to make disciples of all nations hasn't expired. And as the Western world runs away from God, we need to evangelize through our pro-life prayer and witness.  On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Robert Colquhoun, and Steve Karlen discuss the life and mission of St. Patrick--and what it all means for pro-lifers 16 centuries later.

The United States has a long and sacred tradition of freedom of speech and assembly--even when it comes to expression of unpopular viewpoints.

Pamela Delgado was riding the bus in Bogota, Colombia when her heart was broken by an advertisement for abortion. While abortion is technically unconstitutional in Colombia, broadly interpreted exceptions to the prohibition mean that abortion is effectively legal in the country. It's also widespread. One neighborhood has dozens of abortion facilities!  But Pamela let her broken heart move her to pray and to take action. Since starting the first 40 Days for Life campaign in Colombia, Pamela has spread the vigil to 43 cities across the country. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney and Robert Colquhoun talk with Pamela about how: U.S. abortion policy impacts abortion-vulnerable moms and babies in her country Pamela lost two thirds of her team who felt 40 Days for Life was too hard...but how persistence led to her campaign not only thriving, but also becoming a national force Clergy in Bogota doubted that 40 Days for Life could work there...but it did, saving more than 400 lives from abortion! Pamela's story proves that with God all things are possible, even--and especially--when the odds are stacked against us.

It’s time to ring in the New Year. But first, Steve Karlen, Matt Britton, and Robert Colquhoun look back at the highlights—and lowlights—of a year that will go down in history: Increased attacks on pro-lifers--who refused to back down in the face of persecution The 100th abortion facility to go out of business following a 40 Days for Life campaign How Unplanned continues to save lives--nine months after its theatrical release Politicians callously advocating for late-term abortion and infanticide It was a busy year, and 2020 will be even busier. With the spring campaign starting in just 8 weeks, a Presidential Election, and both pro-life momentum and pro-abortion noise increasing, the next 12 months will be a watershed year in the spiritual battle to end abortion.  Finally, we offer predictions for 2020: Who will win the 2020 Presidential Election? Is this the year Roe v. Wade is overturned? What abortion developments can we expect internationally in 2020? Listen in for our bold predictions!

Our our Christmas Eve episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Steve Karlen, Robert Colquhoun, and Sue Thayer discuss pro-life prayer and witness in light of the God who became man in the womb of a virgin.  We take a look at the pro-life message from the perspective of: Mary, an expectant, unwed mother Joseph, who refused to turn his back on his bride during her unexpected pregnancy Herod, whose slaughter of innocents prefigures the crisis of abortion The Wise Men, whose search for the God of truth and light resembles the path taken by former abortion workers who become pro-life The shepherds--who, in spite of their lowly societal standing, rejoiced in the redemption won by the Lord Tune in--and have a Merry Christmas!

What makes a great partnership? And does that mean it’s good for everyone involved? Patrick Elliot explains the explosive partnership of Robert Macbride and Robert Colquhoun, and to contrast we hear from one of Scotland’s most established contemporary partnerships, Dalziel and Scullion, on how they make it work.

We're halfway there!

Tune in and find out how God can work through YOUR prayers to save a mom and baby just moments away from suffering the horror of abortion. 

While the United States and Canada allow abortion up to birth, many are surprised to learn that even in secular Europe, most countries prohibit abortion after 12 weeks. We discuss this--and nine other surprising facts abortion abortion around the world--on this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast. Shawn Carney, Robert Colquhoun and Steve Karlen discuss: The country that became the first to legalize abortion nearly 100 years ago The secret blueprint used to push the legalization of abortion in Africa Where nearly two thirds of the world's abortions take place How erroneous ideas about the human person result in a particular group of countries having the highest abortion rates in the world... ...and more!

The abortion industry circulates a lot of misinformation designed to maintain legal abortion. To successfully defend pre-born children, pro-lifers need to know--and articulate--the truth about why abortion must end. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Robert Colquhoun, and Steve Karlen discuss the top five things EVERY pro-lifer MUST know about abortion: Science proves beyond a doubt that the embryo/fetus is a unique human life. Abortion is not just a decision between a woman and her doctor. Planned Parenthood is money-hungry abortion empire. There’s no case so desperate that killing a human being is justified. Abortion harms women.

The largest-ever Lenten 40 Days for Life campaign is complete. We know of hundreds of babies are alive and well today because of YOUR prayers, fasting, and peaceful vigil. Now the Christian world enters Holy Week--the week that changed the world. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Robert Colquhoun, and Steve Karlen discuss the fruits of the campaign, the special significance Holy Week has for pro-lifers, the Good Friday miracle in Milwaukee, and where we go from here.

Is abortion just another justice issue? And what does it mean to be pro-life? Can you consider yourself pro-life if your efforts to end abortion aren't linked with activism on climate change, immigration, poverty, and a host of other social concerns? On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Steve Karlen, Robert Colquhoun, and Sue Thayer discuss seven reasons why the pro-life movement is RIGHT to focus on ending abortion: It's impossible to effectively engage all social issues at once. And, in fact, most pro-lifers are actively involved in serving the needy in their communities in other ways.  Abortion is the world's leading cause of death, which makes it the most important human rights issue in history. No other social issues matter...unless you're allowed to be born.  Abortion kills an innocent human being and is inherently evil. Most other issues don't involve an intrinsic evil. They simply involve debates and disagreements about the most effective solutions to particular social problems.  Jesus said the poor will always be with us--not that the killing of children will always be with us. While ALL Christians have a duty to care for the poor, we can't wait for poverty to end before we end the killing of children.  Preventing abortion does address a wide variety of social ills. After all, abortion is linked to poverty, substance abuse, child abuse, domestic violence, addiction, mental health problems, and more. You can do something about abortion where you live. With some social issues, we can only make an impact indirectly, often through politicians. Sometimes the temptation to serve "humanity" as an abstraction, distracts us from serving actual human beings. At a 40 Days for Life vigil, you can end abortion by serving abortion-vulnerable moms and babies one at a time in your community.

One of the great Christian books of the 20th century is C.S. Lewis' The Screwtape Letters. Written from the vantage point of a demon trying to lure his "patient" away from the one true God, the book teaches us about our relationship with God by looking at the ways demons tempt human beings.

Seeking to make abortion mainstream, a new movement of activists encourages women to "shout your abortion." The result is a desperate campaign that awkwardly attempts to justify abortion using vulgar t-shirts, aggressive social media posts, and...a children's book? It gets strange quickly! On this episode of the 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Robert Colquhoun, and Steve Karlen take a look at the "Shout Your Abortion" movement, the pain that drives it, and the pro-life women who are speaking out about the pain abortion caused in their lives.

There's a lot at stake as abortion is the leading cause of death...both worldwide and in the United States. Abortion takes the lives of at least 42 million innocent children every year worldwide. Some estimates suggest more as many as 56 million per year for a cumulative total in excess of two billion abortions total. That's more deaths than can be attributed to every war in human history--combined. On this episode of the 40 Days for Life Podcast, Shawn Carney, Robert Colquhoun, and Steve Karlen take a look at the national and worldwide death toll. We also examine how--contrary to Planned Parenthood's rhetoric--contraception exacerbates the abortion epidemic.

Topics We Cover On This Episode Advent is the perfect season of the year to pray and reflect over the Lord becoming man and entering into the world. On this episode of The 40 Days for Life Podcast, Steve Karlen and Robert Colquhoun example how the Scripture accounts of the Holy Family preparing for the birth of Jesus provide great Advent meditations for pro-lifers: Mary was troubled by news of her pregnancy...and she provides a model example for other frightened expectant mothers. Likewise, Joseph's willingness to stand alongside Mary through her pregnancy and to help raise the Christ child is a powerful example to the fathers of abortion-vulnerable babies. John the Baptist's in utero leap for joy recognizing the unborn Messiah is one of the most beautiful Biblical illustrations of the humanity and personhood of life in the womb. Mary's visit to her pregnant cousin is a Scriptural encouragement for us to accompany struggling pregnant moms. In the eyes of the world, our poor, homeless Lord was the perfect candidate for abortion. We also discuss three concrete ways pro-lifers can make Advent a time of deeper prayer and reflection--rather than a stressful season of harried consumerism: Turn down the noise of the world and commit to increasing the silence in your life. Commit to hoping in the Lord. Keep your eye on the prize and truly prepare for Christmas. We'll provide concrete tips for a more profound prayer life amidst the commercial glitz and glamour that tends to overshadow joyful anticipation of the Lord.

Mobilizing A Nation To Fight Abortion In Colombia, South America - PODCAST #134 Topics We Cover On This Episode [1:19] Colombia, South America: An amazing pro life need [4:38] The dark business of abortion in Bogota, Colombia [8:10] 40 Days For Life begins in Bogota and how the Pro Life movement has grown [11:05] God’s hand in using 40 Days For Life to mobilizing the country of Colombia [13:10] Will abortion laws become more relaxed in Colombia in the future? [18:21] How baby showers are being used to combat feminist opposition [22:57] Support and interaction with Protestant and Catholic churches Abortion is an international issue, a crisis that touches cultures and people groups all over the globe. This episode features the efforts being made to fight abortion in Colombia, South America. In this episode, Robert Colquhoun and Katharine O’Brien speak with Pamela Delgado, a 40 Days For Life volunteer in Bogota who has spearheaded the efforts to fight the prolific and devastating effects of abortion in Colombia. Becoming Aware of the Spectre of Abortion in Colombia It was 2015 when Katharine O’Brien first visited Bogota, Colombia on a mission trip. She loved the people, the culture, and the beauty she encountered. One thing she didn’t expect to see was the pervasive influence of abortion in the capital city. One neighborhood in particular, was littered with over 70 abortion clinics, which broke her heart. She knew something had to be done. In this conversation, you’ll hear how 40 Days For Life campaigns are now active all over the city and how the local community is being mobilized. Organizing Vigils and Creating Awareness In the Community Colombian 40 Days For Life Director, Pamela Delgado points out how the majority of people in the country of Colombia are Catholic, which makes it all the more surprising that abortion in Colombia is so prevalent. Before she became aware of the widespread problem of abortion in her country she thought the people would be pro-life. But much to her surprise, many of the women in the capital city of Bogota were victims of the abortion industry already - and the abortion proponents were very active in seducing college-age women into their facilities. God’s Spirit began to stir her to prayer and then to action as she became the first 40 Days For Life Director for Colombia. The Opposition of Pro-Abortion Forces in Colombia is Aggressive and Real In this conversation, Pamela describes how feminist and pro-abortion groups have stood against the 40 Days For Life efforts she’s been leading. The outlandish and aggressive tactics they’ve employed show how desperate they are to hold on to the financial lifeline abortion is for them. In this conversation, Pamela describes the types of things pro-abortion supporters have done to come against the vigils she leads and how God has overcome every attempt to thwart their efforts. It’s an encouraging story you won’t want to miss. Listen now! Baby Showers Express Support and Hope For Mothers Considering Abortion The 40 Days For Life team in Bogota has found that many of the women who choose to terminate their pregnancies do so because they feel alone and without support. To combat those feelings and to demonstrate that these young mothers will not be alone, the team has hosted many baby showers for special moms who choose not to end their pregnancies. These baby showers show that there is a better alternative than abortion and celebrate the miracle of life that is happening in the wombs of these precious young women. Pamela Delgado explains the impact the baby showers are having in more detail, on this episode.

Topics We Cover On This Episode [0:45] Shawn introduces this episode of the podcast. [2:30] Robert Colquhoun joins the conversation. [4:00] The guys discuss the value and cost of freedom. [9:00] Why you should check out episode #128. [13:00] What is the difference between Shawn’s two books? [17:00] How abortion is different than most political issues. [25:00] Why does fasting strike such a deep chord with people working against abortion? [27:00] There is a reason to be hopeful. As a person of faith, you know the power that stories can have. That’s why testimonies about faith are so meaningful, there is something that resonates deeply when people tell their stories. The same is true of pro-life stories! Time and time again, the pro-life movement has witnessed and leveraged the power of storytelling to showcase the good that’s happening in the pro-life movement and the evil that is caused by abortion. On this episode of 40 Days for Life, you’ll hear from Shawn Carney, Steve Karlen, and Robert Colquhoun. In their conversation, the guys discuss the cost of freedom, how Shawn’s new book is different than his first one, why pro-life stories matter, how abortion is different than most political topics and much more! Don’t miss your chance to learn about what’s going on at the front lines of the pro-life movement! Pro-life stories matter. What was it that grabbed your attention and brought you into the pro-life movement? Chances are, it was a story! By telling your story or by amplifying the story of others, you can take part in building a culture of life here in the United States. One of the ways that 40 Days for Life is using this strategy is collecting stories and putting them into the hands of skilled storyteller, Shawn Carney. Shawn’s new book, “The Beginning of the End of Abortion” is packed full of pro-life stories that’ll keep you motivated as the struggle continues. You can all use this resource to get others on board as you fight to see the end of abortion here in your own backyard. Get more information on Shawn’s book and the impact of pro-life stories by listening to this engaging episode! Appreciating the cost and privilege of freedom. Did you take the time to consider and express gratitude for your freedom last week in celebration of the 4th of July? Here in America, we are so fortunate for all the freedom we enjoy and we ought to take time to thank both God and those men and women who have laid down their lives to protect it. On this episode, you’ll hear Shawn, Steve and Robert discuss how fortunate we are to celebrate freedom and all the privileges that come with it. They also mention how much this contrasts to the eroding freedom that many western nations are currently experiencing and why the pro-life movement is vital in the fight to push back. Don’t miss this episode as the guys dive deep into this topic and much more! Abortion isn’t just another political “Hot button” issue. What is it about the topic of abortion that makes it stand out from all the other “Hot button” political topics of our day? Why does abortion illicit such strong reactions from both sides of the aisle that other topics like tax reform fail to conjure up? It all comes down the heart of the matter, life. Abortion draws so much fervor and debate because at the center of the issue is the value and worth of human life. This is also where pro-life stories come into play as well. Stories shared from women who’ve had abortions and doctors who’ve performed them only to reach the other side of their decisions full of regret and pain have an ability to connect with people in ways that other politicized issues can’t. Join Shawn, Steve, and Robert on this episode of 40 Days for Life as they expand on this important discussion, you don’t want to miss it! There is a real reason for hope. This is an exciting and monumental time to be part of the pro-life movement as the Supreme Court has real potential to move us closer to a culture of life and leave the dark days of abortion behind. Remember, it’s not quite time to pop the champagne bottles just yet! There remains a lot of work to be done before we can truly celebrate. Enjoy this important milestone that you’ve worked so hard to achieve, enjoy this hopeful moment but stay vigilant and prepared for the long road ahead!
