Women Deserve Better Than Abortion

What does it really mean to be a feminist for life? In this episode, we sit down with Serrin Foster, president of Feminists for Life [https://www.feministsforlife.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com], for a fascinating conversation on the history of the feminist movement, the fight for women and children, and the surprising stories that have shaped her 30+ years in the pro-life movement. Serrin shares how Feminists for Life began before Roe v. Wade, why many early American feminists were strongly anti-abortion, and how today’s culture has failed both women and men. We also discuss the Dobbs decision, adoption, Safe Haven laws, fatherhood, college outreach, and the powerful encounters that have changed hearts on both sides of the abortion debate. This episode is thoughtful, challenging, and deeply human — whether you consider yourself a feminist or not. Topics include: • The forgotten pro-life roots of the feminist movement • Why women deserve better than abortion • The impact abortion has on men and families • Safe Haven laws and adoption stories • Reaching college students with compassion and truth • Pope John Paul II’s call for a “new feminism” • How conversations — not arguments — change minds Learn more about Feminists for Life: https://www.feministsforlife.org [https://www.feministsforlife.org/]

Where Does Human Dignity Come From?

What happens after Roe? In this episode, Brian Westbrook sits down with moral theologian and author Charles Camosy to discuss the future of the pro-life movement, the fight for human dignity, assisted suicide, adoption, and the cultural battle over what it means to be human. Professor Camosy shares insights from his books on abortion, bioethics, and physician-assisted suicide while unpacking why the pro-life movement must focus not only on politics, but on restoring a deeper understanding of human equality and dignity. We also dive into the dangers of abortion pills by mail, the growing push for assisted suicide laws, and why adoption has personally transformed his family’s life. This is a thoughtful and challenging conversation about faith, culture, and defending vulnerable human life in every stage. Topics include: • The aftermath of Dobbs and Roe v. Wade • Human dignity and equality • Assisted suicide and euthanasia • Adoption and family life • The future of the pro-life movement • Faith, culture, and bioethics

Young People Can Change the Culture

In this episode, Brian sits down with Trevor and Christen Polo of Protect Life Michigan to talk about what it actually looks like to change minds in today’s pro-life movement. After the highs of Roe v. Wade being overturned—and the discouragement that followed many are asking: Is it still possible to shift culture on abortion? Trevor and Christen say yes… and they have the data to prove it. From college campuses to entire communities, they share how their team is engaging in real conversations, training young people, and seeing measurable change sometimes moving public opinion by as much as 8% in just a few months. We dive into: * How their “persuasion model” works on the ground * Why young people are key to the future of the movement * The role of messaging, human rights framing, and real dialogue * What gives them hope in a post-Roe America * How you can get involved or bring this model to your own state If you’ve felt discouraged about the direction of the culture, this conversation will challenge that—and show what’s possible when people are willing to engage.

We Must Win Over the "Mushy Middle"

In this episode of Living Pro-Life, Brian sits down with longtime pro-life leader John Pisciotta, founder of Pro-Life Waco and the national initiative Pro-Life in the Public Square. With over 30 years of grassroots experience, John shares how a small local effort in Waco, Texas grew into a movement focused on engaging the “mushy middle” the undecided majority that ultimately shapes culture and policy. Together, we dive into what’s changed in a post-Roe v. Wade world, why recent ballot losses matter, and how the pro-life movement must adapt to meet the moment. John unpacks the importance of consistent public square outreach from overpass demonstrations to yard sign campaigns and explains why changing hearts and minds is just as critical as changing laws. If you’ve ever wondered what real, practical pro-life action looks like in today’s culture, this episode offers both a challenge and a roadmap.
