197: Men in the Pro-Life Movement

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...!).

196: How To Respond: "Abortion Doesn't Impact Me."

While many people have an opinion on abortion (with varying degrees of depth...), there are many who wish to remain neutral, at times claiming, "Abortion doesn't impact me!". Whether said by someone who is pro-life, someone outside of traditional child-bearing age, a guy who can't bear a child, or someone else who may not be personally impacted by abortion access, it is important to engage them none-the-less, as many don't realize how influential their support, or tragically lack of support, may be for the lives of those around them. In today's episode, host Cam talks through the background and tools you need to clearly and concisely respond to this attempt to avoid engaging on this issue which results in the death of tens of thousands of little boys and girls in Canada every year.

195: New Year's Resolution 2025

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!

194: How to have Christmas conversations about abortion

For some, Christmas cooking, church services, and family get togethers are enough to keep conversations about abortion to a minimum, whereas for others, it's a time to discuss and debate the happenings of our world, more and more of which seem to be touching the abortion crisis. In this episode, host Cam talks about how to navigate conversations about abortion over your Christmas break, whether you are initiating the conversations, or whether you are being invited (or even forced) into them! Starting with the principle of not being weird, Cam talks through different strategies not only for starting conversations with friends and family about this cultural crisis, but often even more importantly about how to manage the conversation in such a way that it leaves the door open for more productive conversations in the future.

193: How to - Manage Large Groups

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.

192: What if the Child Has a Disability?

For pro-life and pro-choice advocates alike, the question, "What if the child has a disability?" often results in a moment's pause, as the focus appears to have shifted from the pregnant mother to now include the developing child. While there are countless heartbreaking cases of young children growing up with regular or even constant pain and suffering, it is vital even (and arguably especially) now that we do not attempt to "solve" these difficult situations by intentionally killing innocent humans. In today's episode, host Cam explores the profound pain and suffering that not only children may encounter, but also by extension their parents and others in their lives. He talks about how recognition of these realities is essential, and advocates for effective and compassionate solutions which do not include killing children, whether before or after birth.

191: Are Vasectomies Really the Answer?!?!?!

Are vasectomies really the answer to the abortion crisis?!?! For many, the answer is an obvious, "No!", yet many pro-lifers continue to hear this while doing outreach, not to mention the number of media personalities who claim that if all men would just have vasectomies, children would no longer enter the world through unwanted pregnancies, and therefore the abortion crisis would vanish (along with the human species...). #prolife #prolifegeneration #howto #howtotalkaboutabortion In today's episode, host Cam breaks down how to navigate these comments, whether said genuinely or in jest. 00:00 - Intro 01:55 - How this comes up at activism 03:50 - The two kinds of vasectomy conversations 04:10 - When we don't actually need to address this challenge 06:22 - When we DO actually need to address this challenge Contact Cam with questions, ideas, and comments at email@prolifeguys.com

190: How to Respond When TRUMP Comes Up in Pro-Life Conversations

With the 2024 US election just over a month away, more and more conversations about abortion are being impacted by politics, particularly the politics of Donald Trump. So, how do you respond when Trump comes up in your pro-life conversations? In today's episode host Cam tackles just that! #prolife #trump #prolifegeneration #podcast Regardless of whether you're a massive Trump supporter, a "Never Trump" advocate, or anyone in between, it is vital that we ensure our conversations about abortion keep the main thing the main thing: Can we solve the very real, and very difficult problems of our world by killing innocent humans? In this episode, Cam talks through several strategies for how to pivot conversations back to the abortion crisis, how to think critically about imperfect politicians, and how to protect the lives of the weakest and most vulnerable.

189: Do Abortion Laws Kill Mothers!?!?!

Do pro-life laws kill mothers? The answer to this question has been the topic of discussion by mainstream media in the lead up to the 2024 American Presidential election with the news of death of Amber Thurman, Candi Miller, and potentially more mothers who tragically died after taking the abortion pill, though media personalities and politicians are consistently coming to the wrong conclusion. In today's episode, host Cam breaks down what you need to know about these heartbreaking stories, and how you can navigate conversations about them to demonstrate that these tragic deaths are a result of the abortion pill, realities within any medical system (including those in pro-abortion states), and at times medical errors.

187: How to talk about the Science of Human Life

Central to conversations about abortion is when human life begins, and in today's episode, host Cam takes a deep(er) dive into how to talk about the science of human life. The first step in establishing the importance of when human life begins is reiterating the human rights argument which includes the following questions: Do you agree all humans get human rights? If something is growing (in an organized way), isn't it alive? If that living organism has human parents, isn't he or she a living human? Doesn't that make abortion a human rights violation? Next, we'll offer clarifications, including at times tracing our lives back from our current age and stage of development to the moment of fertilization, before appealing to biological authorities and offering a more thorough understanding of the behaviour and composition of pre-born children which comprehensively demonstrate the presence of a new human life at the moment of fertilization.
