Activist Radio: The Mark Harrington Show

  Planned Parenthood After Roe   The US Supreme court is poised to overturn Roe. Many believe hundreds of abortion facilities will close immediately after the decision. What does that mean for Planned Parenthood? We will answer that question today.   Also, this summer over a dozen of the brightest and best young pro-life activists are being trained at our headquarters. The program includes classroom study and on-the-job training in addition to a week on the road to witness in our nation’s capital. Hopefully, we get to witness history in the making when Roe is overturned.   You’ll get to meet some of these emerging leaders today when Mark interviews them on-site at a Planned Parenthood facility.   Please watch/listen, share and leave a five-star review of the podcast.   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts. Mark’s show is broadcast on American Family Radio’s 180 stations and Salem Radio on Saturday in Ohio. The podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Podbean, Spotify, a

With the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health organization decision coming down from the US Supreme Court in the next few weeks, Cam Côté catches up with Mark Harrington, founder and executive director of Created Equal, to talk about safety and security for pro-life organizations as we await this landmark ruling.   Mark is interviewed by Cameron Cote from the Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform on Prolife Guys.

Recently, radical abortion activists firebombed the office of pro-life groups in Wisconsin and Oregon, burned a pregnancy center in Buffalo, NY, and vandalized over a dozen churches and pregnancy centers.   In Wisconsin, pro-abortion terrorists left a threatening message saying, “If abortions aren’t safe, then you aren’t either.”   Jane’s Revenge has taken responsibility in some of these cases.   According to a bulletin issued by the National Terrorism Advisory System on June 7, more attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers are expected.   In New York, however, instead of investigating arson at Buffalo’s CompassCare, Gov. Kathy Hochul is investigating pro-life pregnancy centers.   Additionally, to cope with the potential reversal of Roe v Wade, the abortion industry has developed a hub-and-spoke plan to fly women into abortion hub states like New York and California.   In response, pro-life infrastructure is being built to serve women across the country through telecare.   In today’s episode, Mark interviews Jim

In this bonus episode, Samuel Sey and I dig deeper into the political strategies to secure justice.   Pro-life legislators aren't creating discrimination, they are curtailing discrimination. They are faced with a choice between reducing abortion on the way to outlawing it altogether or just making a statement.   William Wilberforce was in principle a moral absolutist, but in practice a strategic and tactical incrementalist—as are pro-lifers today. In that legal environment, the principled pro-lifer is an immediatist morally and an incrementalist strategically. That is, while pro-lifers remain committed to the principle that every unborn human should be legally protected, they work to save as many lives as possible given current political realities.   Wilberforce, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King Jr. were in principle moral absolutists, in practice they functioned as strategic and tactical incrementalists.   To watch the initial episode with Samuel, go to: MarkHarringtonShow.com or subscribe to the program on a

Right now, Americans are being confronted with important fundamental questions about abortion and are being asked to consider exactly how they stand on this important matter, and why.   The film, Matter of Life, asks the questions in a thoughtful and provocative way to establish clarity and perspective in hearts and minds. This film features the stories of abortion industry workers, post-abortive women, faith leaders, and secularists, as well as experts in the history and legal framework that shaped abortion decisions in America.   In today’s episode, Mark interviews Tracy Robinson, a San Diego-based filmmaker about her new documentary.   Please watch/listen, share and leave a five-star review of the podcast.   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.

In this episode, my guest, Samuel Sey, will discuss with me some of the emerging political challenges pro-life advocates are facing in the aftermath of Roe v. Wade. One such issue is whether abortion bans should specifically exempt women from prosecution for illegal abortions. The NRLC recently released an Open Letter to state lawmakers directing them to exempt women from prosecution of illegal abortions in states that attempt to outlaw abortion.   For those of you who missed the letter, here is the link: https://www.nrlc.org/uploads/communications/051222coalitionlettertostates.pdf   We will give our thoughts on this letter that calls for state legislators to exempt women from prosecution for illegal abortions.   In addition, we will discuss whether pro-life legislators should only support complete bans or lesser measures meant to restrict or regulate abortion.   Please watch/listen, share, and leave a five-star review of the podcast.   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube acco

In this episode, my guest is Ohio House Representative Jena Powell. We discuss her bill to end abortion modeled after the Texas Heartbeat Law that authorizes private individuals to sue anyone performing or aiding in abortions and will protect preborn humans from fertilization.   With the imminent overturning of Roe v. Wade, state legislatures need to move expeditiously to enact protections for the unborn. The Texas Heartbeat Law has survived in the courts, and Ohio House Bill 480 is patterned after the Texas law. For this very reason, HB 480, if passed should become law in Ohio and be enforced irrespective of the US Supreme Courts’ determination in Dobbs v. Jackson.   Additionally, I give updates on Creating Equal’s projects and upcoming opportunities this summer, including our road trip to Washington DC for the Dobbs Decision Day.   Please watch/listen, share and leave a five-star review of the podcast.   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.

On this episode, my guest, Blaise Alleyne, Eastern Outreach Director for the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform, will discuss how the theory of change works backwards from the goal to figure out what must be done to achieve it.   Rather than just working forwards and asking, "what can I do?", CCBR has established a way of strategic thinking that works backwards, asking "what must be done?" This is a powerful paradigm shift that transformed how CCBR approaches pro-life strategy locally in Toronto, and across Canada.   As a student and volunteer activist, Blaise was inspired by CCBR's theory of change to end the killing in Canada, and now he is helping to carry out the strategy and make the vision a reality.   Also, last week the National Right to Life Committee released an Open Letter to state lawmakers directing them to exempt women from prosecution of illegal abortions in states that attempt to outlaw abortion.   For those of you who missed the letter, here is the link: https://www.nrlc.org/uploads/commu

Once Roe falls, the partnership consisting of the Pro-Life Action League, Created Equal, and Citizens for a Pro-Life Society are planning events across America to mark this historic moment and to set forth our plan for a post-Roe America.   The decision could come any day, but most SCOTUS observers expect the ruling to be announced the last week before summer recess (June 27-30).   On this episode, Mark interviews Eric Scheidler, Executive Director of the Pro-Life Action League, about these developments and what living a post-Roe world will be like for residents of abortion havens like Illinois.   To get involved in this event, go to: https://overturnroe.org   We will also address whether the pro-abortion protests at justices’ homes and churches are protected First Amendment speech or violations of the law.   For more information on what you can do in a post-Roe America, stay tuned to this podcast.   Please watch/listen, share and leave a five-star review of the podcast.   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark’

On this special episode, Mark will answer questions about the breaking news that Justice Samuel Alito has written a draft majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. Politico is reporting that a draft majority opinion written by Justice Alito has overturned Roe. This comports with speculation last week that Chief Justice Roberts wasn't writing the majority decision and Alito was. If true, Roberts will likely join the liberals in dissent. Some of the questions to be answered are:   Is Roe overturned or is there still a final decision to be released? Why and how was the draft leaked to the media? Did the person break protocol/rules of the court? Will the conservative justices cave under the pressure and flip their votes? If one voted to overturn Roe but doesn’t join Alito’s decision, does his decision still stand as the majority one? What we will be we doing differently, if anything, when Roe falls? What steps will pro-abortion advocates be taking on the coming weeks and months?   When Roe officially falls, stat

Recent events in Washington, DC have once again disclosed the gruesome nature of abortion. These events have demonstrated the powerful tactic of displaying victim imagery in the public square. For decades, pro-lifers have debated whether these images change public opinion. The fact is the evidence is overwhelming. Social reformers have never been successful in outlawing injustice by covering it up.   Today on the program, Mark lays out the case for why anti-abortion advocates should use abortion victim images in our defense of the unborn. Mark traces the historical use of these images and shares empirical as well as anecdotal evidence for their use. He answers the question: What would Jesus do?   For more on this topic, go to: https://www.createdequal.org   Please watch/listen, share and leave a five-star review of the podcast.   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark’s Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts.

John F. Kennedy famously said, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” It’s a proven fact that abortion victim images save lives. We’ve recorded many of the stories of saved babies and you can watch them by going to Created Equal’s YouTube page.      What is true about the effectiveness of abortion victim images is also true about ultrasound images.  According to The National Institute of Family and Life Advocates, 80 percent of abortion-minded mothers choose life after they saw their unborn baby via ultrasound.   If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, there’s going to be a massive increase in the number of abortion-vulnerable mothers who will need Created Equal to help them choose life for their babies...something a mobile ultrasound unit can do.   Vans for Life: https://www.vansforlife.org   Today on the program, Mark discusses his vision to place mobile pregnancy center vans in front of every abortion facility at borders to states that outlaw abortion to  help pregnant women in crisis choose LIFE for

Because abortion is in the headlines, it’s imperative to take every opportunity to defend babies.   On this episode Mark speaks with Seth Drayer, VP of Created Equal, to lay out a road map for ending abortion using demand and supply side tactics.   On the demand side, we don’t need to be experts to reach people on abortion, but roadmaps are helpful. Hence, we are excited to share with you a brand new project: LetsTalkAbortion.com!   LetsTalkAbortion.com provides you a chance to choose what kind of conversation you want to have so that you can get a customized roadmap!   On the supply side, Project Weak Link can give you tools to expose the enablers of the abortion cartel.

On March 25, 2022, a driver for Curtis Bay Energy handed over medical waste boxes to activists who regularly protest outside a Washington, DC abortion center. In the hours following, the retrieved boxes were found to contain babies who had been brutally murdered by late-term abortionist Cesare Santangelo at his Surgi-Clinic in Washington, D.C.   On this episode, Mark speaks to AJ Hurley, Executive Director of Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, who was called upon to document and film the remains. AJ tells the horrifying story of the retrieval and filming of the babies.   DC abortion victim photos (Warning: Disturbing Images). https://www.createdequal.org/dcbabies   Contact Curtis Bay: https://projectweaklink.com/1359-2/   Order your dropcards: https://store.createdequal.org   In another grisly twist, Curtis Bay Waste Services, which burns medical waste to generate electricity, is the company who turned over the aborted babies to the activists.   Please watch/listen, share and leave a five-star review of the

Who can forget the horrific photo of embattled New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signing the reprehensible “Abortion Till Birth” bill in 2019?  Recently, Created Equal led a coalition of like-minded pro-life groups to conduct an urban tour in New York City. During the 22 hours of outreach, approximately 86,000 people were reached. In addition, we had over 1000 conversations, 88 mind changes, and 3 women turned away from the abortion facility. However, we also encountered stiff opposition, including violence. While we were in NYC, Biden’s nominee to the SCOTUS, Ketanji Brown Jackson, was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Additionally, on March 9, pro-life advocates made a disturbing discovery in a lab at the University of Washington Department of Pediatrics: a freezer full of rows and rows of aborted babies’ body parts. The university’s disturbing practices first came to light in 2016 through the Center for Medical Progress’s shocking undercover videos of Planned Parenthood and other abortion grou

Klaus Schwab, President of the World Economic Forum, has called for a great worldwide reset. After the invasion of Kuwait, President George H. W. Bush called for new world order. Rahm Emmanuel exhorted his fellow leftists to never let a crisis go to waste. Now, the invasion of Ukraine is being seized upon to realign nations.   God is pushing Christians to make critical decisions as to whether we will go along with the co-opting of the world’s wealth and the creating of a new world order, or reject tyranny and follow hard after Jesus.   If you are concerned about the loss of freedom and liberty across the world, my guest, Bill Federer, will educate you on seeing real news behind world events,  and how the COVID pandemic, Jan. 6 investigation, and Ukraine invasion—among other current events—are being used to fundamentally alter the world.    For more information on Bill Federer, go to: https://americanminute.com   Please watch/listen, share and leave a five star review.   The Mark Harrington Show is on Mark’s F

In 1999, I was with Center for Bio Ethical Reform (CBR) leading the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP). We were invited to take the display to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC by UBC Students for Life. Upon are arrival in Vancouver, UBC demanded CBR pay $10K for “security fees.” Instead of paying the fee, we sued the university. Despite that setback we still were able to train students in pro-life apologetics. That is when I met the student leader for UBC Students for Life, Stephanie Gray.   After college, Stephanie co-founded the Canadian Centre for Bio Ethical Reform and began traveling North America with our GAP displays. Stephanie is an international speaker, debater, and author of several books including Love Unleashes Life and Conceived by Science. You can purchase her books HERE: https://loveunleasheslife.com/love-unleashes-life On this episode, you’ll be inspired by one of the world’s foremost pro-life apologists as she discusses abortion, infertility and invitro fertilization.

Nearly every modern-day prophecy book comes to the same conclusion. Russia is Ezekiel’s “Gog,” with its leader being the “prince of Rosh.” However, the Hebrew word Rosh means “chief” or “head” and has nothing to do with Russia.   On today’s episode Gary DeMar responds to the assumption that Russia and the current invasion of Ukraine are fulfilling Bible prophecy based on Ezekiel 38-39.   Gary also responds to the questions the disciples ask Jesus about His coming and the “end of the age.”   If you believe in the rapture, great tribulation, and a coming world dictator called the anti-Christ you’ll need to listen to and share this broadcast.

Mark’s guest, Francis Beckwith, is a Professor of Philosophy & Church-State Studies at Baylor University, as well as the author of several books defending the pro-life position. His books provide arguably the most comprehensive defense of the pro-life position—morally, legally, and politically—that has ever been published in an academic monograph. On this episode, among other topics, Dr. Beckwith provides reasons legal abortion prevails and adds unique insights into the current case before the US Supreme Court—Dobbs v. Jackson. Beckwith will explain how pro-abortion logic is rooted in relativism and how we should counter it. He will also share how the right to privacy has changed to mean “right for anyone to kill their baby in any context.” Please listen and share this podcast.

Jesus said, "Go out into the highways and along the hedges and compel them to come in so that My house may be filled" (Luke 14:23).   What will it take to bring revival to America? How do can we train the next generation to take the Gospel to the enemy’s turf?   For decades Tom Short has been traveling to college campuses preaching the Gospel. Beginning in the 1970s, Tom has been to over 100 college campuses and works with over 30 churches worldwide, primarily within the Great Commissions Churches network.
