124: Putting a Bow on 2022 | ft. Jonathon Van Maren

130: Recovery After Abortion | ft. Jeff Joaquin

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.

131: This History of Canada's Pro-Life Movement | ft. Dr. Michael Wagner

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.

134: Unpacking In Vitro Fertilizations | ft. Stephanie Gray Connors

Laura Klassen, founder of Choice42.com, is a leader in both pregnancy support and in exposing the injustice of abortion and other attacks on human life.

In today's episode, Laura joins PLG podcast host Cam to talk about her most recent episode in her "Exposed" series which focuses on In Vitro Fertilization and the hundreds of millions of tiny boys and girls killed every year through this practice which in many ways commodifies human life in a very different way than abortion.

In vitro fertilization is naturally a very personal subject for countless people around the world seeking to satisfy the very good and natural desire for children, including many within the pro-life movement. As such, we must take a long and critical look at whether or not this is an appropriate practice to satisfy this deep longing (spoiler alert: it isn't).

159: Exposing IVF | ft. Laura Klassen

For many pro-life ambassadors, we hear circumstances brought up in defense of abortion and immediately think of our own experiences, or those of people we know, and we want to share them to help those we are speaking with understand that even faced with daunting and seemingly impossible situations, there is hope.

In today's episode, Cam shares how personal stories can be shared in our conversations so that they don't come across as refutations or mere anecdotes, but rather true empathy and hope.

I work for a pro-life organization called the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR), and together with my colleagues have reached millions of Canadians with the truth about abortion.
