Do you ever feel lost in your conversations about abortion? Do you feel at times as though you are using different arguments almost at random in hopes that they might resonate with the person you are speaking with?In today's episode, host Cam talks through a roadmap which can help you understand where you are at when you are speaking with someone about abortion, and where you should be moving next in your conversation, so that you have both a natural flow, but also so that your arguments flow logically, building on each other so that you can change minds and save lives from abortion.Remember to like and subscribe to the PLG podcast on your favorite podcatcher, and help us reach 1,000 subscribers on our YouTube channel by subscribing at https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcast

Canadian pro-lifers have unfortunately become accustomed to even the most basic pro-life bills being voted down in Parliament, including bills which would simply evaluate the scientific evidence for when human life begins, or bills which would restrict abortion when the only reason is that the baby is a girl.In today's episode, Cam is joined again by Scott Hayward, President of Right Now, to discuss MP Cathay Wagantall's recent bill C-311, entitled, "Violence Against Pregnant Women Act", and what pro-lifers need to take away from the debate and progress which was made.For more PLG podcast content, go to: www.prolifeguys.comFor more about CCBR, go to: www.endthekilling.caFor more about Bill C-311, go to: https://www.cathaywagantall.ca/pregnantwomenFor more about Right Now, go to: www.itstartsrightnow.ca

Pro-lifers are often challenged on what they're trying to achieve, particularly when showing abortion victim photography as a part our their outreach. Are we trying to make people feel mad? Are we trying to make people feel guilty? In many ways, we're just trying to help people feel anything at all. In today's episode, Cam talks about a few recent experiences he's had and how he thinks through the question of what pro-life outreach is accomplishing and aiming at.

Pro-life activists are often confronted on street corners and door-steps with questions about why we don't start by fixing social problems such as foster care, teen pregnancies, and legal challenges parents are faced with, rather than focusing on preventing abortions. While this approach makes sense at the surface level, in today's episode, Cam talks through a number of reasons why this is not only unrealistic, but also inherently flawed thinking. YES, pro-lifers absolutely need to put their money where their mouths are, leading the charge in resolving the challenging circumstances so many parents around the world are faced with. Yet just like in every other social crisis, it will necessarily require a massive overhaul in public opinion for the solutions to ever match the need. Enter proactive social engagement through the educational arm of the pro-life movement. Education is vital, not only in awakening and mobilizing pro-lifers to contribute towards the solutions necessary to address the wide array of problems parents are faced with, but even more importantly to demonstrate to those who suggest abortion, the direct and intentional killing of an innocent girl or boy, that we must begin investing our time, treasure, and talent in solutions which avoid the intentional destruction of human life. Finally, and most importantly, we must reach mothers and fathers contemplating abortion with the truth that abortion kills an innocent human, and that we are far from having perfect solutions in place, we must approach these crisis' in the same way that we approach crisis' involving born children, with the best we can possibly offer; not by killing the child involved.

Conversations about abortion often include analogies in which pro-life advocates "trot out the toddler", challenging the principle that we can alleviate one person's pain or suffering by killing another human being by asking if we would respond similarly if the situation involved a born human, rather than a pre-born human.But what happens when they believe you could kill a born child too?!?!?In today's episode Cam is joined by Blaise Alleyne, co-author of "A Guide to Discussing Assisted Suicide", to discuss how to navigate conversations where trotting out the toddler doesn't go the way you anticipate.For more PLG podcast content go to: www.prolifeguys.comSubscribe to the PLG YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcast

Help Talia Battista fight for justice at Toronto Metropolitan University by partnering here: https://www.lifefunder.com/taliaIn today's episode, Cam is joined by Talia Battista, a pro-life student who has endured the most heart-wrenching discrimination at the hands of Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), to talk about her recent win at the Ontario Human Rights Commission and how YOU can be involved in helping Talia find legal justice.Talia was brutally denied the opportunity to participate in a number of community and cultural groups on campus because of her pro-life conviction, but literally denied the opportunity to participate in a trauma healing program because of concerns her pro-life activity on campus (not in anyway related or connected with the program!) would harm other trauma healing participants.Please join Cam in contributing towards Talia's legal fundraiser here (https://www.lifefunder.com/talia)For more PLG podcast content go to: www.prolifeguys.comSubscribe to the PLG podcast YouTube Channel at: https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcast

While traditional marketing often asks, "How do we attract people to ourselves/our products?", social reform asks a very different question, namely, "How do we repel people from injustice?".In today's episode, Cam is joined (IN HOUSE!!) by Jonathon Van Maren, author and international speaker, to discuss why it is vital for social reformers, including and especially pro-lifers, to stay true to our mission of defiance and social reform rather than opting for a more acceptable approach of marketing.For more PLG podcast content go to: www.prolifeguys.comIf you haven't already subscribed to the PLG podcast YouTube Channel please do at: https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcastFor more from Jonathon, go to: www.thebridgehead.ca

For so many post-abortive mothers and fathers, abortion is the culmination of years darkness and brokenness. Whether their childhoods have been plagued by abuse, neglect, or any number of other traumas or difficulties, for far too many, news of an unplanned pregnancy seems to be just another hurdle thrown in their way which they are desperate to navigate by any means possible.
In today's episode, Cam is joined by David Williams, men's chapter leader with SaveOne and an international pro-life speaker, to talk about his journey before and after his abortion experience. David shares his family's brokenness growing up, how that impacted his relationships and ultimately his decision to push for an abortion, and the journey of hope and healing he has been on, and helped countless others on, over the past two decades.

You know him, you love him, Josh Brahm is back to talk about a joint statement he co-authored with CCBR's own Jonathon Van Maren, Eric Scheidler of the Pro-Life Action League, and Dr. Charles Camosy.
This is a bit of a spicy topic, connecting social and fiscal policies as they relate to supporting parents facing challenging pregnancies, however, it is vital that pro-lifers seriously consider how to build a post-Roe future in a way such that parents and children are able to navigate even the most challenging circumstances.

While a version of the history of abortion in Canada has been shared far and wide (often misconstruing or outright ignoring the actual historical facts...), the story of Canada's pro-life movement is often far less familiar, even to those working in Canada's pro-life movement.
In today's episode, Cam is joined by Dr. Michael Wagner, author of "Standing on Guard for Thee: The Past, Present, and Future of Canada's Christian Right", to talk about some of the architects of Canada's pro-life movement, the sacrifices countless pro-lifers have made, and the trajectory of the movement today.
