The Catholic Morning Show – 06/16/2026

Iowa March for Life — Des Moines, Iowa | June 20, 2026 Maggie DeWitte, Executive Director of Pulse Life Advocates — Iowa's longest-standing statewide pro-life organization, founded in 1972 — joins the show to reflect on the pro-life landscape four years after the Dobbs decision. She discusses Iowa's heartbeat law, the reality of neighboring states like Minnesota and Illinois serving as abortion sanctuary states, and why the fight for life continues both locally and federally. Pulse Life Advocates hosts its 4th Annual Iowa March for Life this Saturday, June 20th, at the Iowa State Capitol in Des Moines: Noon — Educational booths from pregnancy resource centers, advocacy groups, and pro-life organizations statewide; worship music by Pete Haake of St. Luke's Catholic Church in Ankeny 1:00 PM — Rally with legislators, dignitaries, and personal stories 2:00 PM — March around the Capitol and Iowa Supreme Court building Post-march refreshments and a national Students for Life of America display on the Capitol lawn Learn more and get involved at PulseforLife.org Building a Eucharistic Marriage — Video Series Greg Schutte, Director of Marriage Works Ohio and licensed marriage therapist with over 20 years of experience, introduces Building a Eucharistic Marriage — a seven-session video series that parallels a therapeutic model for strengthening marriage with the couple's relationship with Christ through the Mass. Part of the Elizabeth New Life Center, Marriage Works also provides youth education in high schools and middle schools on healthy relationships and saving sex for marriage. Common marriage pitfalls Greg addresses include the lack of intentional time together and communication breakdowns where couples talk at rather than with each other. The video series is available for individual couples to watch at home or for parishes to license for group use. Watch the series and learn more at EucharisticMarriage.org Tune in to The Catholic Morning Show weekdays at 7 AM Central on the Iowa Catholic Radio Network at IowaCatholicRadio.com or on the Iowa Catholic Radio app. #CatholicMorningShow #IowaCatholicRadio #ProLife #IowaMarchForLife #PulseLifeAdvocates #DobbsDecision #HeartbeatLaw #CatholicMarriage #EucharisticMarriage #MarriageEnrichment #CatholicFamily #BuildingAEucharisticMarriage #MarriageWorks #CatholicFaith #IowaCatholic Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm. ENJOYING THE SHOW?
