Since first taping the program in the 1980s, National Right to Life has produced five episodes of the radio program Pro-Life Perspective every week.

A daily Monday-through-Friday 1-minute program, Pro-Life Perspective has broadcast over 10,000 episodes since it began airing. It is considered to be the longest running radio program of its kind in the country.

Currently, there are nearly 100 radio stations that air the program each week with more being added. Later in this story I’ll provide you with information how to ask your local Christian station to run Pro-Life Perspective.

Pro-Life Perspective is a self-sustaining program. It requires nothing from the radio station except airtime. It has its own introduction, closing (an outro), and theme song.

Over the years, the technology used to record the program has undergone tremendous changes. When the program was first recorded in 1994, it was recorded on a reel-to-reel machine. Later it was recorded on digital audio tape and edited and produced by a company in northern Virginia. Today, it is recorded directly onto a computer and the audio is edited in-house by Communication’s staff here at National Right to Life.

Ambassador’s satellite division uploads the program and distributes it by satellite, but stations also have the option to download the program directly from Ambassador computers.

There are five episodes each week and they are written and recorded by National Right to Life President, Carol Tobias, who has been the voice of the program for many years. The episodes are fresh – recorded the week before they air so you know you are getting the latest information from National Right to Life on issues vitally important to the pro-life movement.

From the latest actions on Capitol Hill to crucially important work being done by our 50 state affiliates, you can be guaranteed to hear the most up-to-date pro-life news. All episodes are written as educational and not political so Christian radio stations can air them without any issues.

The most recent episodes have concerned the Biden Administration’s attempts to misinterpret the Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act in an effort to promote abortion, the use of training slides at Fort Liberty in North Carolina that called pro-lifers, and specifically National Right to Life, “terrorists,” and, in Poland, the rejection of efforts to expand Poland’s abortion law.

Also, a recent episode included encouraging words for pro-lifers on why we do what we do.

If your local Christian station doesn’t air Pro-Life Perspective, let us know. We can reach out and let them know that listeners in their area are asking for it. You can also reach out directly to your local station and ask them to contact us about carrying the program.

Stations can contact us at mediarelations@nrlc.org and we can get the process started so your local station can promote life through Pro-Life Perspective.

Please do it for Life!
