21 Jan 2025 | 197: Men in the Pro-Life Movement | 00:11:44 | |
The show is literally called "The Pro-Life Guy's Podcast", so let's review how to respond to the statement/accusation, "No uterus, no opinion!" While many in the pro-abortion movement (women, as well as men, somewhat ironically...), would love it if pro-life men would stay silent, or better yet, become pro-abortion, it is vital that pro-life men not only hold fast to their pro-life worldview, but also speak and act publicly in defense of the weak and vulnerable. In today's episode, Cam talks through the straight-forward response to the challenge that if you cannot become pregnant yourself, you shouldn't have an opinion on abortion (though again, you're welcome back into the debate if you happen to support abortion...!).

07 Jan 2025 | 195: New Year's Resolution 2025 | 00:14:30 | |
First and foremost, merry Christmas and happy new years! From all of us at CCBR and The Pro-Life Guy's Podcast, we hope that you had a blessed Christmas, and that 2025 is off to a great start! Inspired by the wisdom of Mike Schouten and his team at ARPA Canada, for this year's new year's resolutions, host Cam focuses on the importance of building relationships, While it can be easy to grow frustrated when our requests for church support, volunteer recruitment, or cultural change are not immediately met with resounding involvement, it is so important to invest into meaningful relationships with those in our community. Whether they are our church or political leaders whom we'd love to collaborate with to bring about sweeping change, our volunteer teams whom we're hoping to further mobilize, or those whom you are speaking to at outreach, change is so often expedited when it interactions start with and build upon relationships. So give it a shot! Thanks for your participation in this journey, and as always, don't hesitate to reach out to Cam at email@prolifeguys.com! | |||
03 Jan 2023 | 125: New Year's Resolutions 2023 | ft. Quiana Casamayor | 00:30:37 | |
2023 is upon us, and while it will may be difficult to top the overturning of Roe in 2022, there is still so much that you can do to become a more effective and compassionate pro-life ambassador. In today's episode, Cam talks with Quiana Casamayor, Volunteer Outreach Coordinator for CCBR, about five valuable and manageable ways that YOU can have better conversations about abortion in 2023.

19 Aug 2022 | 108: Responding with Charity in the Face of Hysteria | ft. Josh Brahm | 00:53:20 | |
Even before the overturning of Roe, abortion advocates frequently responded to the proposition that society can (and should) function without abortion with varying degrees of hysteria. This has only been amplified since the Dobbs decision, and in today's episode Cam is joined by Josh Brahm of the Equal Rights Institute to talk about how to keep the conversation moving in a productive way when the person you're talking with is somewhat (or full-blown!) frantic about the idea of limiting abortion access.

19 Sep 2023 | 150: Applying the Road Map to Change Hearts and Minds | 00:34:05 | |
Last episode, Cam talked through CCBR's road map for progressing through pro-abortion arguments with empathy, clarity, and consistency, and this week he demonstrates how this road map can be applied to three different types of arguments, including:
| |||
04 May 2021 | 41: How to Respond to: "But, the pre-born are not persons." | 00:27:48 | |
While many conversations focus on bad science which suggests pre-born humans are some how not living members of the human species, some times pro-lifers face bad philosophical arguments which suggest that not all humans should get human rights, particularly not the human right to not be killed. Join Pieter and Cam as they talk about how to respond when someone accepts the humanity of pre-born children, but suggests that they're not "persons" and therefore don't get human rights.

09 Apr 2024 | 178: What if the parents won't be good parents??? | 00:27:39 | |
Is abortion appropriate if the childs parents wouldn't be good parents? This is a question pro-lifers are often asked, either by those who doubt their own ability to provide a high quality of life for a child, those who are unwilling to provide a high quality of life, or by those who are considering people struggling with addiction, homelessness, or other life circumstances which may compromise their ability to provide a high quality of life for a child. In today's episode, host Cam addresses each of these scenarios, and walks through how we as pro-lifers can speak with charity and clarity into each circumstance. #prolife #prolifepodcast #prolifegeneration For more PLG podcast content, go to: www.prolifeguys.com Check out the PLG YouTube channel and don't forget to like and subscribe at:https://www.youtube.com/@TheProLifeGuysPodcast To check out the recent episode on responding to questions about sexual assault: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uRSsbv7vxs&t=263s To check out the recent episode on responding to questions about bodily autonomy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxYdFvWHbxU&t=16s To check out the episode on responding to the argument that pre-born children are parasites: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3h2qVasUIF4&t=40s Connect with Cam for questions, comments, or ideas at email@prolifeguys.com | |||

14 Mar 2025 | Bonus Episode - Janelle Stickell's Healing Journey | 00:55:46 | |
Everyone's journey before and after abortion is different. For some, the days before and after their abortion have been reduced to a fuzzy haze, where the mother or father may struggle to recall almost any detail, large or small, as their mind and body has attempted to erase the entire event from their memory. For others, these memories are crystalized in their mind, and may return with a flood of emotion at a moment's notice. In today's episode, host Cam is joined by Janelle Stickell, who courageously shares about her own journey through having three abortions before finding forgiveness and healing in the arms of Jesus. Her powerful recounting of her heart-breaking years as an isolated and abused youth, before her three abortion, and finally her heart-warming recovery through her new-found faith are sure to not only bring a tear to your eye, but help each of us better understand the journey so many in our communities are on.

30 Nov 2022 | 120: Breaking Down Bad Pro-Choice Biology and Philosophy + Giving Tuesday | 00:42:21 | |
While pro-lifers can often engage in meaningful conversations unpacking how to best respond to the incredibly difficult situations parents are at times faced with, some times pro-lifers face sophisticated sounding pro-choice arguments which are really just terrible philosophy or biology. In this episode, Cam breaks down how to respond to arguments like: -The pre-born are just parasites -Nobody knows when life begins/the science might change -It's just a clump of cells Tune in for how to respond to these arguments with clarity and charity, and don't forget to support pro-life outreach by donating at www.patreon.com/prolifeguys! | |||

15 Nov 2022 | 119: Pregnancy Coaching Ministries | ft. Lauren Loboda | 00:51:12 | |

13 Jul 2023 | 143: Pro-Life Rant - What are we actually trying to accomplish?!?! | 00:29:39 | |
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.

12 Mar 2024 | 175: Do Graphic Abortion Images Push People Away? ft. Trevor Polo | 01:18:53 | |
While many pro-lifers (and even many abortion advocates) have come to accept and embrace the public display of abortion victim images, there are still at least some who question the strategy, asking questions about the impact abortion victim images have on one's worldview, on their likelihoood of supporting various forms of legislation, and most often the impact showing these images have on people's perception of the pro-life movement. In today's episode, Cam sits down with Trevor Polo from Protect Life Michigan to review and discuss comprehensive polling PLMi has recently conducted to answer the questions mentioned above. #prolife #abortion #abortionvictimimages #prolifepodcast To check out the study yourself and to learn more about Protect Life Michigan, go to: https://www.protectlifemi.org/strategy For more PLG Podcast content, go to: www.prolifeguys.com 00:00 Introduction 09:17 Trevor Polo and the role of effective pro-life strategies 20:45 New polling conducted by Protect Life Michigan 29:25 Impact of abortion victim images on abortion worldviews 36:30 Impact of abortion victim images on humanizing pre-born children 43:42 Impact of abortion victim images on perception of pro-lifers showing the images 56:41 Impact of abortion victim images on support of restrictive legislation 01:17:15 Conclusion Thanks for hanging through this longer than normal episode, don't forget to like and subscribe to the show, and reach out to Cam at email@prolifeguys.com if you have suggestions for future topics or have any other feedback! | |||

13 Feb 2024 | 171: How to Respond : What if the Child will have Disabilities? | 00:31:11 | |
Many of the justifications for abortions start with pro-life ambassadors challenging abortion advocates to consider the lives of pre-born children, yet when abortion advocates attempt to defend abortion seemingly out of compassion for pre-born children when parents are given a difficult pre-natal diagnosis, pro-lifers can feel as though the tables have been turned, and that they are now the ones not caring "enough" for pre-born children. In today's episode, Cam explores considerations around approaching these conversations, talks about a few common arguments that should actually be avoided, before talking about how common ground, analogies, and questions can and should be applied to help those we are speaking with understand that even in these situations, our compassion for a child can never lead us towards directly and intentionally ending their life.

31 Oct 2023 | 154: Rules for Boycotting | 00:30:31 | |
Boycotting is a tool that special interest groups have leveraged for generation to apply pressure on companies, industries, or individuals in an effort to modify the behaviour of their target.

20 Apr 2021 | 39: Stopping Sex-Selective Abortion in Canada | MP Cathay Wagantall | 00:43:14 | |
Basically everyone thinks it's wrong to kill a baby girl before she's born simply because she's a baby girl, yet there is absolutely nothing legally preventing these little girls from being killed in Canada.

18 Jul 2023 | 146: Pro-Life Reaction to Defeat of Bill C-311 | ft. Scott Hayward | 00:48:16 | |
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 | |||

16 Mar 2021 | 34: Freakonomics: Does Abortion Really Lower the Crime Rate? | 00:38:24 | |
Many of us have heard the argument that one of the benefits of legalized abortion is that it contributes to a lower crime rate. Popularized by the book Freakonomics, the authors examine evidence that shows that while there are many factors to the drop in crime, the most notable is abortion. As pro-lifers, we can see through this clearly, but how do we respond to someone who says this on the streets? Join Cam and Pieter as they share how to effectively engage with abortion supporters so that they can see the inconsistencies and failures of this argument.

27 Nov 2024 | 193: How to - Manage Large Groups | 00:28:49 | |
While following the road map and having productive conversations can be quite manageable and straight-forward when you're only talking to one or two people at a time, things can get a lot more complicated when you're talking to a large group of people (especially high school students) who all have different questions. Often, pro-lifers end up answering countless questions, only to have the end-of-lunch bell ring and realize that while they bridged the gap really well 100 times, they didn't make a tremendous amount of progress beyond that. In today's episode, host Cam lays out several principles for how to ensure that if you are talking to a group of people, you still make meaningful progress with as many as possible, while also ensuring that the people who are the most receptive are the ones whose questions you respond to the most readily.

17 Sep 2024 | 188: How to: Share Personal Experiences | 00:11:35 | |
Personal experiences shape who we are, what we believe, and how we interact with other people. This is true for those who support abortion, as well as for those who do not. In today's episode, host Cam talks about appropriate and effective was to introduce your personal experiences, or those of others you are familiar with, to help abortion-supportive women and men to reject the pro-abortion worldview. #prolife #prolifegen #howto Whether your experience relates to poverty, sexual assault, disability, or any other formational experience, there is tremendous value in both humanizing pro-lifers and inspiring those with whom we are speaking. With that said though, we don't want to weaponize our experience, refuting the arguments of our friends or family by demonstrating that they are not as difficult or relevant as they are suggesting. Our experiences can provide the greatest impact when they are shared to help build common ground, develop relatable analogies, and inspire people once they have recognized the logic of the pro-life worldview.

Should the mother be allowed to undergo treatments and operations which will threaten or end the life of her child?

07 May 2024 | 180: Why You Should Start by Addressing Their Justifications! | 00:24:34 | |
Pro-life ambassadors often ask me whether they should start their conversations by addressing the hard circumstances and other justifications surrounding pregnancy, or whether they should dive straight into talking about the humanity of pre-born children, and I really (really, really, really) think you should start by addressing the circumstances and justifications underlying their support of abortion, rather than starting with the humanity of pre-born children, central though it is to the abortion conversation. I'd love to hear what you think, if you disagree or agree, and what your experience has been talking with those around you about abortion.

06 Mar 2024 | 174: How to: End Your Conversations | 00:32:52 | |
How do you end a conversation about abortion in a polite way that keeps the door open for further thought and reflection? That's the topic of today's PLG Podcast episode! We've done episodes in how to start conversations about abortion, and usually most episodes feature strategies for keeping conversations going, but what if you need to end a conversation, either because you need to get back to work or school, or simply because you've reached an impass in conversation that requires personal reflection? In today's episode, host Cam talks through several reasons why you may need to end a conversation about abortion, before walking through the four steps necessary for ending a conversation so that the person you're speaking with continues to think towards the pro-life worldview.
