WSFI Presents - 40 Days for Life

·44 min·4 clips
Steve Carlin exposes how the University of Wisconsin secretly planned a late-term abortion facility on campus.
The episode begins with Leslie Hosinski introducing herself as the leader of the Waukegan 40 Days for Life campaign and welcoming guests Kit O'Brien, her son Paul, and special guest Steve Carlin. Steve recounts his involvement in the pro-life movement, starting with a campaign at the University of Wisconsin where a secret plan to open a late-term abortion facility was thwarted after a year and a half of efforts, including open records requests and prayer vigils. He explains how this led to his role in 40 Days for Life, which began in 2004 in College Station, Texas, and has since expanded globally. Steve highlights success stories, including over 180 abortion facilities closing after campaigns, with recent closures in states like California and New York. He discusses his books, 'What to Say When' and 'What to Say When 2', which provide strategies for pro-life conversations, addressing objections like rape and incest with hopeful stories. The conversation covers abortion pill reversal, its safety and effectiveness, and signs used at vigils to communicate messages like 'Pray to end abortion' and 'We will help you'. Steve shares statistics, such as 275 abortion workers quitting and nearly 26,000 babies saved through 40 Days for Life. Safety concerns are addressed, with Steve noting that over a million participants have never been shot. The episode includes personal anecdotes, like a 6-year-old girl praying on the sidewalk saving a baby, and promotes local involvement in Waukegan and other Chicago-area campaigns. It concludes with an invitation to Steve's talk at St. Mary of Vernon Catholic Church and encouragement to visit 40daysforlife.com.
