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,...

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...

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...

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...

On this AUDIO-ONLY episode of Explicitly Pro-Life, Kristan Hawkins joins the Federalist Radio Hour with Emily Jashinsky (Federalist Culture Editor) to analyze Ohioans' decision to enshrine unlimited abortion in a state's constitution and discuss how Republicans should support the pro-life movement as it works to fortify states against the radical abortion activists' scheming.

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...

What is it like being pro-life in the United Kingdom? It might not be what you think. Free speech is a HUGE issue in the UK, and because of that, abortion is more of a social issue than a political issue. Not only are they having to fight for the lives of unborn babies, but also the RIGHT to FIGHT for them, without being stopped or arrested.   Lois McLatchie, the Senior Legal Communications Officer at ADF UK, talks about ALL OF THIS on today's episode! You will leave SHOCKED listening to...

Seth also gives his best advice to the Pro-Life Generation on how to make the biggest difference, just by speaking Truth. Available NOW...

To no one's surprise, the mainstream media is spreading lies again— this time about abortion in Mexico. Recently, there were headlines coming out talking about how the Mexican Supreme Court had DECRIMINALIZED abortion. In the US, we saw those headlines and assumed this story was real and the Mexican pro-life movement has suffered a huge setback.   We learned this isn't the case. On today's episode, we are joined by Carlos Polo, from the Population Resource Institute, to shed light on what...

Anthony Pro-Life America.

If you ever wondered if there is a difference in medical care between pro-abortion OB-GYNs and pro-life OB-GYNs, then look no further than this special episode of Explicitly Pro-Life! Dr. Christina Francis, the CEO of AAPLOG and a Board-Certified OB-GYN, goes through pregnancy complication stories we see every day in the news and how a pro-life OB-GYN would respond. She delves into whether a direct abortion is ever truly medically necessary as well as whether the majority of OB-GYNs are...

Whether we are discussing same sex marriage, reproductive technologies, adoption, and even foster care, it seems we have commodified children and even weaponized their greatest wounds for selfish and political gains. For example, adoption does not exist to give adults a child. Rather, the child is the client and their needs must supersede the preferences of the adult. Why and when did this change? Kristan Hawkins chats with the founder and president of Them Before Us, where their aim is to...

There is an increase in maternal mortality rates? We need more abortion. There is an OBGYN shortage? We need more abortion... says only the abortion lobby... The OBGYN shortage and maternal mortality rates are incredibly nuanced issues and you will find out abortion is actually a variable contributing to both issues! Join me for this episode of Explicitly Pro-Life where Dr. Ingrid Skop and our Medical and Law Coordinator break down why these issues are happening and discuss solutions. ...

Join me behind the scenes during our Standing With Her Sunday National Simulcast that was live-streamed to dozens of churches and hundreds of small groups across the nation! Our goal is to equip the church to respond to the crisis of abortion because far too many women who seek abortions attend church regularly but still state they do not feel they have support. In this episode, I speak with 3 of our special guests: Toni McFadden, Pro-Life Activist & Speaker or Author of Redeemed: My...

Here is your sign to go detox yourself! Last week we replayed an older episode with Teresa Kenney (APRN-NP) where she discussed the negative effects of synthetic hormones in birth control pills on women's bodies. She discussed the long-term effects the pill has on our emotions, our personalities, our gut microbiome, AND EVEN who we choose as a mate! You may have finished that episode overwhelmed and wondering what to do next. In this final episode of my mini birth control series, Elise...

People are waking up! It is becoming a more common understanding that synthetic hormones in birth control pills are dangerous for women's bodies because hormones affect every system in our bodies. We are finally learning the long-term effects the pill has on our emotions, our personalities, our gut microbiome, AND EVEN who we choose as a mate! Get the full scope on birth control during this second episode of my mini birth control series, which is a replay of one of the most popular episodes...

Hormonal birth control can NOT ONLY act as an abortifacient, but it has become a crutch for doctors to dismiss women's actual medical issues. Ultimately, birth control is marketed as a lie, that it is "good" for women's overall well-being. "Poplitics" Host, Alex Clark, has done an amazing job talking about the science behind what hormonal birth control does to women's bodies, how it feeds into an abortion culture, and why it is not an empowering tool for women. Join us for this special...
