Welcome back to The Kristan Hawkins Show!   Today we're going to hear Christian apologist, Jojo Ruba, discuss why abolitionist attacks on pro-life leaders are harming the movement. We share some reactions to their accusations of my recent trip to The University of Central Oklahoma.   I hope this conversation helps inspire many in the pro-life movement that using incremental strategy is what saves lives without compromising our convictions. Charlie Kirk knew this, which is why he emphasized an incremental approach during his keynote speech at our National Pro-Life Summit 2025 last year.   VIEW the entire Q&A from The University of Central Oklahoma: https://youtu.be/nszXAQSb4D4   WATCH Charlie Kirk's speech at our National Pro-Life Summit 2025: https://youtu.be/rmOKjayuutc   LEARN more about Jojo Ruba: redeemingconversations.ca   HEAR Jojo speak at the February 7th religious freedom conference: freedomsummit.ca   JOIN MY TEXT LINE:   Text "KRISTAN" to 53445 for daily pro-life updates from me.   Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode to stay informed and spread the word!   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/kristanmercerhawkins/ X: https://x.com/KristanHawkins Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/HawkinsKristan

Welcome back to The Kristan Hawkins Show!   Today we're going to reflect on 2025.  It feels like a decade packed into one year.  2025 was a year of victories, heartbreak, and defining battles for the pro-life generation. We said Goodbye to Biden, Good Riddance to Kamala, and Welcome Back to President Trump.  Tragically, we were also forced to say Farewell to our friend Charlie Kirk, who was stolen from our movement and from our nation many decades too soon.    Today, let's look back at what we've accomplished, and what's ahead as we march in 2026.    JOIN MY TEXT LINE: Text "KRISTAN" to 53445 for daily pro-life updates from me.

Today we're talking about women. Specifically, we're talking about women and healthcare issues.  We'll be debunking a recent viral ProPublica article where journalists lied about the tragic death of a pregnant mother in Texas. Spoiler alert: They said killing her baby would have saved her. We're setting the record straight.   Then, we're going to continue the conversation we started a couple weeks ago about repealing the 19th Amendment and whether women should, in fact, have the right to vote.   Next up, we'll talk about Florence Welch's ectopic pregnancy experience and how the music industry reacted to one of its own losing her only child.   Finally, a Chicago mom gives birth in her car… eight minutes after being discharged from the hospital.   JOIN MY TEXT LINE:   Text "KRISTAN" to 53445 for daily pro-life updates from me.   Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode to stay informed and spread the word!   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/kristanmercerhawkins/ X: https://x.com/KristanHawkins Facebook:   https://www.facebook.com/HawkinsKristan
