The Pro-Life Guy's Podcast

One of the most common scenarios presented to pro-life advocates is that of when a mother's life is at risk while she is pregnant. Should the mother be allowed to undergo treatments and operations which will threaten or end the life of her child? In this episode Pieter and Cam talk with Dr. Ryan Wilson, president of Canadian Physicians for Life, about these and other important questions which understandably demand answers, and how you can be consistently opposed to abortion while still supporting a wide array of medical procedures and operations which will save the mother's life.For more information about Canadian Physicians for Life check out their website (https://www.physiciansforlife.ca/)For the essay "Welcome to Holland" by Emily Perl Kingsley (https://www.dsasc.ca/uploads/8/5/3/9/8539131/welcometoholland.pdf)

The Handmaid's Tale, written by Margaret Atwood and recently adapted into a TV series on HULU, has in recent years inspired abortion activists to adopt bright red cloaks and white bonnets when protesting pro-life events and marches (in many ways a welcome change from the previous habit of showing up topless...). Join Cam and Pieter as they discuss the book and the themes that abortion advocates have inaccurately associated with the pro-life worldview and the growing movement that seeks to ensure all humans receive the fundamental right to life. The guys will also correct other stereotypes that pro-lifers are often accused of, and share how to respond when people bring them up during conversations about abortion.Don’t forget to apply for the Vancouver Intensive Program at https://www.endthekilling.ca/vip/.

From what we hear, Bill Nye the Science Guy is a “man with a mission: to help foster a scientifically literate society, to help people everywhere understand and appreciate the science that makes our world work.” While this sounds great, his video informing us to stop telling women what to do with their bodies certainly leaves a lot to be desired. On this episode, Cam and Pieter walk through Bill Nye’s arguments and respond to them by showing the fallacies and inconsistencies of his argumentation. These are the same arguments we hear on the streets, so if you want to know how to respond well, then this is an episode for you.Find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IPrw0NYkMg.To learn some of the amazing details of human development and to watch videos of the pre-born in the womb, check out https://www.ehd.org/.Don’t forget to subscribe on your favourite podcast platform and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
