The Pro-Life Guy's Podcast

Cam Côtérss.com

My name is Cam, I'm a guy who's passionate about ending the killing of pre-born children, and this is a podcast dedicated to giving you the tools you need to change minds and save lives from abortion. 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. Join me as I breakdown all the pro-choice justifications for abortion and share how we navigate them on the streets with clarity and compassion. I'll also talk to leaders in the movement and experts within fields that impact the abortion conversation to hear their stories and learn from them!
