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, we’l...

Malta, an island country in the Mediterranean near Italy, remains one of the LAST countries in Europe that still protects preborn life.

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 babies ...

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 communicati...

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 Finder, a nonp...
