Discussed by Brad Mattes

Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues Institute, says:

“In a post-Roe America, it is absolutely vital that the Church be engaged and active. If pastors understood the opportunity for ministry to hurting and troubled hearts impacted by pregnancy and abortion, they’d jump on board with both feet. The abortion industry isn’t there to pick up the pieces of shattered lives, but God’s Church is. They can walk with them through an unexpected pregnancy or the dark valley of healing after abortion. Churches and pro-life pregnancy centers create a partnership that will save lives for now and eternity. And we provide listeners with the tools to help.”

Is there new research suggesting the father’s brain is also impacted physically by the birth of his child? Brad discusses interesting details of the research, including the significant differences shown between fathers and men with no children (the control group) and the difference between men in California and men in Spain.

Did the men exhibit any hormonal changes which impacted their interaction with their infant child?

Does this study show the importance of an intact family unit? Brad says: “This is absolutely proof-positive that God places a high level of importance not only on the mother, but on the father. He equips both in fascinating ways.”

Before Roe v. Wade, did Dr. Bernard Nathanson and other abortion advocates build their cause on falsehoods, distortions, and out-right lies?

Do many abortion advocates repeat the falsehood: There is no consensus when human life begins? Brad calls these people “science deniers” and reveals more scientific facts about conception and embryos.

Topic: Pro-Life Issues
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed may be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.

The current President of USA Gymnastics recently stated: “We want to be able to align with cities and locations that are also aligned with our value system.”

Today, Life Issues President, Brad Mattes, discusses these “values” and why parents across the nation should immediately voice their thoughts on this issue.

Send the USA Gymnastics a letter or call them directly at 317-237-5050
USA Gymnastics
1099 N. Meridian St., Suite 800
Indianapolis, IN 46204

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why is USA Gymnastics tumbling into politics? Brad Mattes explains that USA Gymnastics President, Li Li Leung, is very upset over the recent SCOTUS decision on abortion and “when planning future events, the organization will avoid states that protect future gymnasts from abortion”.

Do the “values” of USA Gymnastics defend the brutality of live dismemberment abortion?

Do their “values” support abortionists who kill babies who are able to feel the excruciating pain of abortion?

Do the “values” of USA Gymnastics embrace extremely late third trimester abortions?

Do their “values” align with clinics that allow babies who are born alive after a botched abortion to die laying on a table?

Are these abortion “values” far-fetched? Brad Mattes reveals that past gymnasts have been bullied and coerced into having abortions. He says there are others who chose LIFE for their baby and are now speaking out.

Are abortion supporters actively boycotting businesses and organizations that are pro-life?

Would a boycott of USA Gymnastics and their radical abortion “values” be effective?

This study concluded that there were no developmental differences between the children, contrary to what you may have heard.

Are doctors who advice abortion often misinformed or using incorrect, outdated information? Can uncontrolled cancer be a high risk to the preborn child?

Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed may be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.

The city council of Somerville, Massachusetts recently passed an ordinance banning any pro-life pregnancy help center from being established. This latest attack against centers that provide essential services to women is probably unconstitutional and shouldn’t be confused with city ordinances against abortion.

Today, Life Issues President Brad Mattes explains that the abortion industry will use any means to throw women and their babies under the bus if they get in the way of abortion on demand throughout pregnancy.

Click here  for the latest articles and op-eds from Life Issues Institute.

Click here for the Life Issues special “The Faces of Roe”.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Pro-life activists are working as hard and as diligently as we can to save more babies. Is the “other side” working just as hard to kill more babies? Brad discusses “abortion sanctuary cities”, resulting in a war on pro-life help centers.

Constitutionally, what is the difference between banning an abortion clinic and banning a pro-life pregnancy center?

Bottom Line: Is the Somerville city ordinance Constitutional? Brad explains that there are legal teams working on this ordinance, but as of the broadcast of this interview, there isn’t even a pro-life pregnancy center in the city, so the ordinance is basically pointless.

UPDATE: In closing, Brad offers an update on the legal battles concerning the Texas Heartbeat Bill.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why did the pro-abortion Kentucky Governor refuse to defend the Live Dismemberment Abortion law?

Is it common sense to want to protect any creature, especially a baby, from being pulled apart piece by piece while inside the womb? Brad Mattes says: “Isn’t it ironic that we’re even having this talk?” He goes on to say that the ways abortion doctors perform these procedures are “grotesque and cruel”.

Have other states enacted laws to protect babies in the womb from dismemberment abortions?

SIDE BAR: When is it expected that the Supreme Court will rule on the Dobbs case out of Mississippi? Is Brad optimistic for a positive vote based on this ruling from Kentucky?

Why did pro-abortionists seek to ban the new Kentucky pro-life legislation?

How progressed are babies by 11 weeks in the womb? Brad says: “They are so beautifully developed that they are absolutely undeniable human beings.” NOTE: The Kentucky law that was challenged bans live dismemberment abortions on babies from 11-34 in the womb.

Does the US Supreme Court have serval important Pro-Life cases before it this term?

Part 1 of 3

The Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, and The Future of Abortion Council (FAC) has seven stated goals to keep on killing babies in the womb after the US Supreme Court rules in the Dobbs Case, which could essentially overturn Roe v Wade leaving abortion laws up to each individual state.

Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues Institute, discusses some of these goals today.

Click here to read more on this from Brad Mattes.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the Dobbs case out of Mississippi?

Over the past several years, several city councils in various states have enacted city ordinances, stating they are now “life sanctuaries” or “Sanctuary Cities for the Unborn”. Does this prove that more and more people are pro-life?

With the US Supreme Court set to rule, and possibly ban many or all abortions, has California Governor Gavin Newsom promised to enshrine abortion into California state law?

Have many states, including Texas, prepared for the Supreme Court Ruling to protect babies in the womb? Brad reveals that 26 states will immediately ban all abortions or more abortions, using the Texas Heartbeat Bill as a prime example. This is wonderful news!

Has Governor Newsom promised to reward abortion doctors by repaying their college loans?

Has a major study concluded that the consistently rising incidence of autoimmune diseases in women over the past four decades may be attributed to the increase of abortion?

Does the abortion industry dismiss medical and scientific evidence that abortion is detrimental to women? Are women seeking an abortion warned of the potential dangers, including chronic autoimmune disease?

One day during WWII, Polish villagers thought it was snowing, but in reality, it was the ashes from the ovens cremating bodies.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a presidential proclamation designating the Sunday closest to January 22—the day the Supreme Court issued its infamous Roe v.

Pope claims to be “unequivocally prolife”, which is hard to believe after Pope said in a radio interview: “Telling Planned Parenthood they can’t come to Lubbock would be like…telling the Southern Baptist Convention they couldn’t do another church start in Lubbock.”

It’s not often that we see abortion advocates publicly fighting amongst themselves. Hundreds of current and former employees of Planned Parenthood of Greater New York went public recently in a letter detailing their complaints against their employer (or former employer).

Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues, has the details…

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Can a house divided stand for long?

What’s UP with this complaint letter about Planned Parenthood? Could this end in a class-action lawsuit against Planned Parenthood?

Was Margaret Sanger really a White Supremist? What has she been quoted saying about minorities, the differently-abled, and other disadvantaged people?

FACT: 79% of Planned Parenthood facilities are located in black or Hispanic communities. Coincidence? I think not.

FACT: Black women are nearly five times more likely to have an abortion than white women. Where is Black Lives Matter?

What is the purpose of the letter from current and former employees about Planned Parenthood?

Could this be the demise of Planned Parenthood? Let’s pray so!!

Life Issues President, Brad Mattes, has the TRUE details we all need to know… He reminds us that this is not a time to be intimidated or afraid. We should NOT let up on our efforts to save more babies.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Who made these words famous: “Fasten your seatbelts; it’s going to be a bumpy night”?

What did US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer say? Why did the remark and rebuttals cause a firestorm among both political parties?

Why is the left so filled with rage regarding the issue of abortion and a women’s right to choose to kill her baby?

Does Satan know that abortion is near an end in America? Has he used abortion to drag more souls to hell?

Is the pro-life community more knowledgeable and more powerful now than ever before? Are our numbers growing, especially among elected officials?

Did Brad Mattes envision or imagine Donald Trump being such an advocate for life when he was just a candidate?

Title: Planned Parenthood Details Their Year-Long Killing
Topic: Planned Parenthood
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

FACTS: The number of abortions Planned Parenthood performed in twelve months is equal to the population of Honolulu, Hawaii. That’s 28,000 babies per month – roughly the same number of people attending Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, TX, each Sunday. Imagine bombing that church, killing 28,000 people, and the sorrow people across the world would experience. Let’s go one step further and break it down to the number per day: 17 school busses full of children crashed and every single child died. Would you care then?

On average, Planned Parenthood kills 39 babies every hour, every day, all year. Planned Parenthood, according to their own records, killed 345,672 babies during their last fiscal year.

Planned Parenthood’s 2018-2019 annual report provides insight into its impact on society – particularly the unborn and their mothers. Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues, offers more details about their “services” and what their true desire is. Trust us, it’s definitely not the safety of the mother or baby.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What does the recent report prove about the true mission of Planned Parenthood?

How much were total services down at Planned Parenthood? Brad specifically mentions cancer screenings and pap smears…

Does any Planned Parenthood facility in America own and operate a mammogram machine, which screens for breast cancer?

Even with fewer operating clinics, is Planned Parenthood actually performing more abortions? Brad reveals the sickening number…

Did the number of abortions performed at Planned Parenthood across the nation increase or decrease?

Brad takes a minute to discusses the importance of Christians and pro-life Americans voting in the upcoming election. He also discusses President Trump and the current political situation in relevant courts across the country.

What was the campaign entitled? Were there other negative images depicting President Trump within this campaign?

Others have attempted to advertise positive, pro-life messages in Times Square. Have they been approved or rejected?

Topic: Tantamount to Infanticide
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Most of us would have never imagined a day in which any American much less someone in governmental leadership might suggest what is tantamount to infanticide. And yet, the news from New York and now Virginia (and several other states in the same process) are proclaiming this as a rightful decision by any mother.

As a community of faith, we have long advocated that the taking of any human life is wrong … including the life of the pre-born child.

But today, we face a culture willing to allow taking the life of that child not only in the first or second trimester of life but even to full term.

The news is horrifying. What can be done?

In a special edition of Life Issues, Brad Mattes (President of Life Issues Institute) and Mallory Quigley (Vice President of Communications, Susan B. Anthony List) present the full scope of the horrific legislation that has been in headlines across the country. Click here for more.

An Israeli start-up company is in the final stages of developing a handheld ultrasound device that runs off any smart phone. A pregnant woman can scan images of the baby herself and then send them to her doctor for examination! How cool is that?

Brad Mattes, the President of Life Issues, explains how the device will save the lives of countless unborn.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the purpose of the invention by Israeli company, “PulseNmore”?

Is this new technology already being used by women in America?

How does the ultrasound work? What can the mom see on the screen?

How much does this device cost?

Will this device be helpful to sidewalk counselors outside an abortion clinic?

What would YOU say to a woman entering an abortion clinic if you had this device available? NOTE: Send us your comments using the CONTACT link above.

Title: Do You Pray for Abortion Workers?
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)


Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.

As Christians, it is all-too-easy to find ourselves dehumanizing abortion workers. Instead, however, we should be praying for them.

Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues, offers us some encouragement through Scripture today.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why should we pray for abortion workers?

Are abortion workers children of God, too? 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

What can you do to help abortion workers? Matthew 9:37-38 “Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'”

Brad closes the segment in prayer for abortion workers…

Title: California Compelling Free Speech
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

On March 26,  we had Cathy Ruse with the Family Research Council on to discuss a disturbing situation in California regarding free speech rights for pro-life pregnancy centers.

Today, Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues, is here to give an update on this case, National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

The California legislature recently passed a law requiring pro-life pregnancy centers to promote/advertise for/and give advice about abortions to their clients.

Is this called “compelled speech” – speech which the government dictates what you can say, when to say it, and how to say it? Listen as Brad says this is not just “compelled speech”, but it is “forced speech”.

Were some of the Supreme Court Justices concerned over the California law?

Compare this to the government requiring all car dealerships inform their customers of the “deals” down the street…

In a similar fashion to the California law, the City of Austin tried to force pro-life crisis pregnancy centers to advertise for abortion clinics. How did the 5th Circuit Court in New Orleans rule on the Austin case?

Brad encourages listeners to pray for the Supreme Court Justices as they deliberate this case. They are expected to issue a ruling in June 2018.

Title: Late-Term Abortions Still Exist
Topic: Abortion on Demand
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Today, Brad Mattes reveals the shocking details of late-term abortion. Did you know that some areas in the United States still permit abortion throughout pregnancy – even until the day of birth?!

NOTE: To listen to the phone call referenced in this interview, click here.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why is it important for women who have had an abortion to reach out to help others considering the same?

Do abortion workers really not care at all for human life?

James 4:17 “So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” Should Christians be praying every day for the women considering abortion, her baby, the abortionist, and the staff at all abortion clinics?

Listen as Brad Matters discusses a recent indictment of fifteen people who were illegally trafficking body parts…of eagles. Why can’t the government do the same for Planned Parenthood?

Title: Australia Supreme Court Makes Horrible Mistake
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.

Graphic imagery was key to ending slavery, Nazi concentration camps, and the Vietnam War. The images caused people to see the truth and put an end to the atrocities.

Brad Mattes, with Life Issues, has some disturbing news coming out of Australia today. We in America should pay close attention to ensure these lies do not come to our shores.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

WHAT’S UP with the Victoria, Australia State Supreme Court?

What did the Court decide about using the images of dead babies to spread the truth about abortion?

What did the Court call the images? Were they right?

Do graphic images actually help spread the truth about evil in this world?

In Victoria, Australia, are pro-life organizations and activists permitted to use a picture of an aborted baby when talking about abortion? What forms of communication are prohibited and which are allowed?

Could this new law also affect organizations outside of Australia?

How many babies are now being murdered each day in America through abortion?

How can we in America help turn the tide against abortion?

Title: Organ Donation after Euthanasia
Topic: Euthanasia
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Canada legalized euthanasia last June.  Now, some bioethicists are calling for the harvesting of organs.

Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues, says this is dangerous territory.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is harvesting body parts after euthanasia the next step for those who wish to limit the population of the earth?

When will the organs be harvested?  This is the BIG question!

Brad Mattes says, “There is going to be even less safeguards to take care of the welfare of those people. This is opening a horrific Pandora’s Box that they will never be able to close again.”

Is this already happening in other countries?

Is the likelihood of abuse immense?

Title: Abortion Around the World
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

In 1920, the former Soviet Union became the first country in the world to legalize abortion. Abortions now occur legally in 136 nations. The 60 nations still prohibiting abortion face relentless international pressure to permit abortion without restriction. We now have nearly a century of evidence documenting what happens when governments authorize abortion: it does not become rare, but increases exponentially.

President of Life Issues, Brad Mattes, has more information to share today about the fate of abortion across the world.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Is a country’s future found in its babies?

Does Russia have a horrible record when it comes to the unborn? Shocking Fact: 70% of all pregnancies in Russia end in abortion. How does this compare to America?

Is Russia now worried about their future as their population decreases due to the amount of abortions it is experiencing? Brad reveals several unconventional methods the Russian government has experimented with in an attempt to increase their population.

In one region of Russia, the Russian Orthodox Church and local health officials are promoting one abortion-free day each year. Listen as Brad Mattes explains what this is and why he thinks we should do the same in the United States.

Would you participate and promote an “Abortion Free Day” in America? Send us your comments.

The Summer Olympics are a big deal in many households across the world. Many athletes are parents. Today, Brad Mattes, with Life Issues, wants to highlight some of the American moms and dads who are still going strong after having children.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Can parents, especially mothers, be Olympic athletes?

Is the media actually giving coverage to the Olympic athletes who are parents?

Brad Mattes talks about Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps and how he has turned his life around since the birth of his son, Boomer. He also mentions volleyball star, Kerri Jennings, who said, “I feel like I was born to have babies and play volleyball.”

“When we see mother after mother step forward and win gold medals, it really shows that parenthood doesn’t limit a woman’s ability, it actually enhances it,” Brad believes. “It just goes to show that when you follow God’s will, you realize children are a blessing from God, and you live your life accordingly.” He goes on to say, “It may not be a medal at the Olympics, but it will be abundant blessings in other ways.”

Simone Biles may not be a mother, but she certainly has quite a story! Listen in as Brad discusses her adoption and how she was Planned Parenthood “perfect candidate” for abortion.

Can adult stem cells really aid stroke victims?

Brad Mattes, with Life Issues, will be discussing the importance of adult stem research. Recent studies indicate that stroke victims are experiencing dramatic improvements after just a short period of time. Remember: adult stem cells are good; embryonic stem cells are bad.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

According to a study by Stanford University’s School of Medicine, doctors recently injected donor adult stem cells into the brains of eighteen patients who had suffered a stroke at least six months prior – some even years! Within a month, all patients improved and could move!

Listen in as Brad explains more about this ground-breaking treatment and what it could mean for someone you know and love who has been affected by a stroke.

Brad also goes into more detail concerning the difference between adult and embryonic stem cells. Concerning the amazing advancements from adult stem cells, Brad says this: “It’s been a magnificent gift from God…and we can rejoice so many times over all of the victories over disease and injuries that He has given us.”

Title: America is in Second Place
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Which do you believe:

“It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.” Or…

“It is better to let half of the people die so that the other half can eat their fill.”

It is a sad reality that some people, including Christians, are tired of paying for “welfare babies” and wish they had been aborted so they (taxpayers) wouldn’t be financially responsible for their upcoming. To those people, I say, “Shame on you!”

Brad Mattes is there today to reveal some startling statistics about death. It’s not surprising that China greatly surpasses all other countries when it comes to the death toll of its citizens (not including war). “Since China began their cruel and brutal one-child policy, they estimate that 336 million babies have died on the altar,” Brad says. “It’s like wiping out an entire country.” This number does not even include the astonishing amount of baby girls who were born and then left for dead on the streets – simply because they were born the wrong sex.

Sadly, America is second on the list of countries which kills its own citizens. Friends, this is not a time to boast about coming in second place. We should be on the bottom – far behind every other country in the world. Since 1973, Americans have murdered roughly 57 million babies – more than the entire populations of New York and California combined.

What kind of long-term economic impact does abortion have on a country? Brad says, “Think of all those American citizens who were executed in the womb that will not be paying taxes – not paying into Social Security – not buying houses or cars.” This even affects teachers! There will be far fewer children to teach ten or twenty years from now due to abortion!

There is hope on the horizon, however! The pro-death side (those who push abortion) is desperately seeking more young people for their cause, but more and more millennials are pro-life! They are realizing the truth about abortion and want no part of the hideous reality of voluntary death. “They are not drinking the Kool-Aid,” Brad says.

PS Mother Teresa said the first quote above and Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong said the other.

An auto dealership owner in Traverse City, Michigan, did something unimaginable: He stood up for life. Bill Marsh, Jr. is a Christian and very much pro-life. When an employee informed him that he no longer wished to contribute to the company’s charity foundation because the United Way Campaign supported the local Planned Parenthood, he knew he had to take action.

Brad Mattes explains how Bill made the decision to pull all of his hundreds of employees from the United Way campaign. “They felt it wasn’t right to give to the United Way…when part of their money was going to (Planned Parenthood),” Brad says.

1 Peter reads: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” This is a good reminder for us to look at our own finances to see if we are being good stewards of the resources God has given to us. There are many resources via the internet which we can use to vet retailers and see which organizations and charities companies support. Boycotts work and Christians should be mindful of what their purchases fund.

We all need to be more cognizant of where our charitable donations are going and how it is spent. Life Issues is a great pro-life organization to support, especially now at year’s end. Click here  to donate now.

Title: The Link Between Abortion and Premature Birth
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

“A truthful witness saves lives, but a false witness is deceitful,” said King Solomon in Proverbs 14:25.

From the moment a woman walks into an abortion clinic, she is lied to. She is told her baby doesn’t matter because it cannot live without her. She is told there are minimal health risks. She is told she will bounce back just fine in no time. She is told that there is no risk to future pregnancies should she wish to start a family. She is not told her baby has fingers and toes and a heartbeat. She is not told of the many severe complications that can occur after an abortion. She is not told about the post-traumatic stress she will endure, for some women daily for the rest of their lives. She is not told of the risk of giving birth prematurely to a future baby or to a baby who is stillborn. She is not told of the higher risk to breast cancer. She is lied to so Planned Parenthood can make more money. Period.

Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues, is here today to discuss the unfortunate link  between premature birth rates and women who have previously had an abortion. Planned Parenthood is absolutely denying this link. Brad says their approach is “Lie and Deny”. Abortionists and workers at Planned Parenthood believe their mission is sacred. “They are making blood money,” Brad believes.

There have been over 100 independent studies all across the world which all give testimony to the fact that abortion does, in fact, affect future pregnancies in many capacities. There are even studies dating back to 1957 which link abortion to higher risks of breast cancer. “Many premature births, stillbirths, and pregnancy complications could be avoided if women are just told the truth,” Brad admonishes.

Please encourage all young women to visit a pro-life pregnancy clinic if they find themselves in a situation where they are considering abortion. Offer to take them to an appointment. Offer to help find them a job if needed. Offer shelter if they have nowhere to go. If you or someone you know has had an abortion, Brad urges you to get help or help someone else. Don’t live alone with the silent pain. There is help, hope, and healing in the arms of Jesus.

Title: Why is a Pro-Life America Important?
Topic: Pro-Life Issues
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

CNN recently conducted a poll to determine whether Americans were more pro-life or pro-choice. We all know that CNN is not known for its “conservative” viewpoint on issues, especially when it comes to abortion. In fact, Brad Mattes, the President of Life Issues, proclaims, “No one has even accused them of being conservative on anything!”

How a poll is conducted, who asks the questions, how a question is worded, and the tone in which the question is conveyed are all extremely important. “In the past we’ve seen this manipulated and abused profusely by members of the media,” Brad says. What is so shocking about the CNN poll about abortion is that they actually released the results! Why? Because more people responded with a pro-life answer than pro-choice! Listen in as Brad discusses some of the questions which CNN asked people.

We must also realize that politicians pay close attention to these polls conducted by news outlets. It’s one thing for a specific politician to call people and ask; it’s another situation entirely when a “biased, liberal” news outlet does. Brad boldly states: “We believe that God has pulled back the veil on the abortion industry and given America the opportunity to see it for what it really is.” Amen, Brad. Amen.

Title: The Evil that is Planned Parenthood
Topic: Planned Parenthood
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Part 1 of 2

Quote from opening monologue: "Americans United for Life (AUL) just released The New Leviathan: How Planned Parenthood Has Become Abortion, Inc.  It lays bare the abortion giant’s business model: building mega abortion centers and defining abortion as their core business. These mega-centers are 10,000 or more square feet of killing space, perfect for assembly line abortions. The one in Houston is 78,000 square feet. Since rolling out this strategy about 10 years ago, Planned Parenthood has opened mega-centers in at least 19 US cities and increased their share of the abortion market from 20 percent to 32 percent. They’ve increased their “sales” by more than 70,000 abortions each year despite a 12 percent decline in abortions overall and a 13 percent drop in their overall patient load.”

Brad Mattes, President of Life Issues,  says this of Planned Parenthood: “They are the nation’s leading advocate for abortion on demand.” In fact, Brad goes on to explain how, in 2013, Planned Parenthood mandated all the facilities provide abortion services. Furthermore, not a single, solitary Planned Parenthood facility provides mammogram exams. They have also decreased other non-abortion services by 50-70% in facilities nationwide.

Tune in to the next segment with Brad Mattes as he describes the importance of the recent videos making their way across social media and the impact they are sure to have.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - The Evil that is Planned Parenthood
Topic: Planned Parenthood
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.

“Every single day, Planned Parenthood makes $1.4 Million Tax Dollars for their death agenda,” Brad reports. Most people have seen, or at least heard about, the videos depicting Planned Parenthood employees bragging about selling the body parts of dead babies to research companies for profit. It’s appalling and grotesque.

Brad believes that Americans would have been more sympathetic to the Jews if they had seen what really happened in the death camps in Germany. As horrifying as these videos from Planned Parenthood are, maybe they are just what is needed to push Americans over the edge and stop Planned Parenthood once and for all.

These videos show the brutality - and reality - of what Planned Parenthood is really about. “We can no longer keep our heads in the sand,” says Brad Mattes. We need a sophisticated approach to fundraising and actually mirror what the pro-abortion crowd is doing. Why would we say this? Listen in!

Title: Gone. But Not Forgotten.
Topic: Pro-Life Issues
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

The founder of Life Issues Institute, Dr. Jack Willke, recently passed away. He was a great man of faith and lived his life dedicated to protecting the unborn and the elderly. In fact, their mission statement is: “Assuring, through education, equal protection under the law for all living humans from the beginning of their biological life at fertilization until natural death.”

Brad Mattes is the current Executive Director of Life Issues. He shares his story of how he met Dr. Willke through the National Right to Life organization. Dr. Willke quickly became a mentor to Brad. Listen in as he shares his experience getting to know Dr. Willke, working with him, and ultimately taking his place within Life Issues Institute. “He was like a father to me,” Brad says.

The pro-life movement has changed tremendously since Brad joined Life Issues back in 1991. The internet has been a major game-changer, allowing organizations like Life Issues to spread the truth about abortion to millions upon millions of people worldwide. Brad is very excited about the changes in their current website which will be up and running soon!

Another invention that has helped save many babies is the sonogram. Women know now that what they once thought was just a blob of tissue is really a living, breathing baby. They can actually see their babies! Pray that more and more women will have access to sonograms across the globe. Pray that God will bless the work at Life Issues Institute and that He will expand their reach, especially at college campuses. Pray for protection for the workers, as the enemy is attacking them heavily.

Title: Reversing Effects of RU 486
Topic: RU-486 Pill
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

This year’s pro-life rally/march in Washington, DC saw the largest numbers yet. Brad Mattes, with Life Issues, conservatively estimates 200,000 people in attendance! The weather was beautiful and people were looking to spread love and knowledge. Brad says at one point, the march was at a crawl because of the crowd. But Praise God! That is an excellent situation to be in!!

Of course, if you listen to the MSM, you wouldn’t even know there was a rally! They MSM was almost completely silent concerning the march. And that’s really too bad, because nearly three-quarters of the attendees were millennials! We are definitely winning the younger crowd.

Since the 1970’s, we’ve won some battles and lost some battles. One of the hardest losses we have endured was the passage of the RU-486 Pill. Listen in as Brad Mattes explains the RU-486 Pill, the process, and what the protocol is supposed to be. Also, if a woman takes the RU-486 Pill and changes her mind, can her baby still be saved?

Topic: Pro-life
Discussed by Brad Mattes

Abortion is the leading cause of death among the black community – more than all other causes combined, including heart disease and cancer. Planned Parenthood specifically targets women of color. We should all be doing whatever we can to stop the blatant racism stemming from Planned Parenthood and the pro-abortionists.

Brad Mattes and the Life Issues Institute team are courageous and untiring in their efforts to dispel and debunk cultural myths and hidden agendas that surround the issue of abortion. In this radio special from Life Issues, black leaders from across the nation discuss the battle to save black lives from the bondage of abortion.

Title: The Perils of Non-Existence
Topic: China’s One Child Policy
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

China’s abhorrent one-child policy has triggered a tsunami of devastation that Chinese leaders did not see coming. Among the wreckage are young men and women whose parents secretly defied the policy and who now can’t be officially documented because they don’t have birth certificates. Because they don’t officially exist, they can’t go to school or find jobs, making them vulnerable to the sordid human trafficking industry or a life on the streets.

And it’s no small number: an estimated 13 MILLION Chinese young people are at risk. In addition, there are upwards of 100 MILLION unmarried males who cannot find a wife because so many female babies are aborted. Even worse, this has led to the kidnapping and sex trafficking of women and young girls in neighboring countries to be sold as brides.

But didn’t China say that they were abandoning the one-child policy? Yep! But they are still enforcing it, sometimes by force! Listen in as Brad Mattes, with Life Issues, explains what happens to couples who ignore the policy and have more than one child.

Learn more about human trafficking at www.lifeissues.org  and in the newest edition of the Life Issues Institute Connector. Pray for the young girls and women who are turning to prostitution just to survive. Pray for the government, that they will be more willing to abandon the one-child policy. Pray for the country of China as a whole. They need Jesus so badly.

Title: They're Getting Desperate
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

A lie is a lie is a lie. Abortion supporters have had the best wordsmiths for decades. They have convinced millions of women that abortion is safe, legal, and rare. Now that America has surpassed the 60 million abortion mark, abortion supporters have a new tactic.

No one would ever put this bumper sticker on their car: “I love abortion”. No one in the abortion industry would ever say “We’re in favor of killing babies”. NO. They are smarter than that. But not as smart as they think.

Brad Mattes says that abortion supporters know they are losing the battle. They know that more and more women are seeing abortion for what it really is: murder. They are getting desperate. Their newest campaign is to convince people that women who have an abortion are doing a “social good”. They call it “reproductive justice”. They say that abortion “saves lives, improves lives, and makes for a stronger society”.

After pro-life supporters coined the phrase “Love them both” and were successful in passing the Sonogram bill, more women started choosing life for their babies. Women are now rejecting Planned Parenthood’s “abortion-on-demand-no-apologies” claim that abortion empowers women. Too many women have been scarred, physically and emotionally, from abortion. They now know the truth and are willingly fighting save other women from the agony they face daily.

Title: The Market for Brain Death
Topic: End Of Life Care
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

A silent and deadly epidemic is moving across America. No one is broadcasting about it. No one is writing about it. Almost no one is even talking about it. But every day in hospitals, nursing homes, and hospices across the country, more and more of our medically vulnerable loved ones are being euthanized.

Some health care providers are being pressured by outside sources to rush ending a patient’s life because they may be “too expensive to keep alive”. This doesn’t just apply to the elderly, either. It might be a handicapped or mentally challenged person. It might be a 45 year old dad who was badly injured in a car accident. It might be a child who has an inoperable brain tumor. No one is immune. No one is safe.

The statistics are staggering. It is not a rare occurrence. But why are they doing it? To put it bluntly, for profit. Plain and simple, friends. They are doing it to make money on the organs they remove from a patient’s body, even though that person still has a beating heart.

Listen in as Brad discusses the profit of harvesting and selling organs (Hint: It’s over half a million dollars for one patient alone!) and what you and your loved ones should do if faced with an end-of-life decision.

Brad asks health care providers who have witnessed such atrocious behavior to contact their headquarters to share their story. If you, a loved one, or someone you know has experienced this type of treatment, please contact them so they can forward the information to the Texas State Legislature.

Title: The Truth about the Church and Abortion
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Part 1 of 2

Pro-choice advocates are right. The Bible never specifically mentions abortion and whether it is right or wrong.

So, why do pro-life supporters say that abortion is wrong? Well, for one, it is a commandment: “Thou shalt not kill”. Also, God says that He knew you in your mother’s womb.

Many argue that you aren’t a “human” until you are born. I counter-act them with: “But a baby cannot survive the first year without the love, nourishment, and care from a mother or father. Should we be allowed to kill an infant at any time because they are an inconvenience?”

Listen in as Brad discusses some of the abortion-advocates newest “pick up lines”.

Precious, innocent, and full of potential, our children are by far the earth’s most valuable renewable resource. As such, it is our duty as parents, family members, and friends to invest in their lives. The values we instill while they are young will be a guide throughout their lives.

Brad Mattes, with Life Issues, says he cannot stress enough the importance of raising children who will live out their pro-life beliefs. Brad says that we must first start small and start early – even a toddler can grasp the concept of a baby growing inside his mommy’s tummy.

I’m sure most of you have read the Dr. Seuss story “Horton Hears a Who” to your children, but have you ever continued the conversation? Share with your child how everyone is important – even the tiniest living creatures. Whether he knew it or not, Dr. Seuss was teaching kids a clear pro-life message with this wonderful story!

What if you have older kids, though? How do you engage your teen in pro-life conversation without sounding like a drill sergeant? Brad Mattes says movies like October Baby, Bella, and Gimme Shelter are entertaining and engaging. Plus, they give the issue of abortion a personal context that’s relevant to their lives.

Title: What is happening to all the abortionists?
Topic: Abortion
Discussed by Brad Mattes
with Life Issues Institute (LifeIssues.org)

Part 1 of 3

LISTENER WARNING: Some information shared in this segment might upset some people, especially young children.

The downward trend of dwindling abortionists is a “problem” that’s plagued the abortion industry for decades. In my eyes, fewer abortionists means more lives spared, Hallelujah!

Following Roe v. Wade, the number of abortionists in America rose, ultimately peaking at an all-time high of 2,908 in 1982. The most recent statistics from the Guttmacher Institute (originally founded as the research arm of Planned Parenthood) show that the number of abortionists has since dropped by over 40% to just 1,720 in 2011.

Abortionists who were trained during the peak of abortion rights in the seventies are now retiring. And their younger successors are few. In a 2011 paper published by Debra Stulberg, a researcher at the University of Chicago, found that only 14% of OB-GYNs are performing abortions. Should we praise God for the “Graying Process”?

LISTENER WARNING: Some information shared in this segment might upset some people, especially young children.

Brad Mattes shares a medical student’s personal encounter with an abortion in this segment. The student described the procedure as “crude.” He graphically described the sound of the vacuum machine as it filled with blood, tissue, and tiny organs. Then the machine’s motor came to a sudden stop. The tube was removed and the baby’s body and head followed.

His admission was powerful: “I’ve not been able to think of anything besides what that baby boy might have been. I have been tortured by these images… and I was just a spectator. Never again will I be pro-choice, and never again will I support the murder of any human being, no matter what their stage in life.”

Discussed by Brad Mattes

LISTENER WARNING: Some information shared in this segment might upset some people, especially young children.

Because of conscience laws, hospitals cannot legally force nursing students to take part in abortions. Brad had the opportunity to meet five of nurses who courageously advocated for their rights and did so to help protect unborn life. They serve as an encouragement to others in the medical field so that their pro-life beliefs are protected.

Brad encourages you to continue to pray for the physicians and nurses who have chosen to perform and assist in abortions. Pray that their hearts will be softened and they will see these precious souls as babies and not just blobs of tissue. Pray for side-walk counselors who encounter abortion-minded women on a daily basis. Pray for the young girls and women who are in the midst of a crisis pregnancy and feel their only solution – their only hope – is an abortion.

The job of a “push caller” is to tell the recipient as much “information” as possible in a short amount, not giving the opportunity for response of questions. When a “push caller” calls you, do not give them the satisfaction, especially if the phone call concerns matters of abortion.

The same goes for pro-life organizations who call you requesting charitable donations. You have the right to ask about their non-profit status, to see their financial information (which is public record), and ask questions about how they spend their money. If they refuse to provide answers – you refuse to provide financial support!
