    • Legal Update from Heartbeat International

      Heartbeat International President, Jor-El Godsey and General Counsel, Danielle White bring us up to speed on litigation concerning Heartbeat and Pregnancy Help Organizations in their battle for free speech in regards to Abortion Pill Reversal. Accusations of “deceptive practices” and “unfair business activity” coming from state Attorneys General are aggressively trying to suppress a women’s right to know about her options and for some, forcing women to continue an abortion that they no longer want.

      Find out who we’re working with, what we’re up against, and how this impacts the world of pregnancy help on both a state and federal level.

    • Pregnancy Help News Brief – Ep. 8

      Lisa Bourne provides updates on legal cases involving Abortion Pill Reversal in states like New York, where a federal judge recently issued a preliminary injunction blocking Attorney General Leticia James from preventing pregnancy centers from offering APR to clients. Chemical abortion makes up the majority of abortions in the U.S., with several states now battling to keep their right to offer and speak about the protocol.

      Recognizing the risks of chemical abortion and the dangers of abortion pills by mail, Louisiana law now requires the classification of abortion drugs as controlled substances.

      The Abortion Pill Reversal Network continues to grow, now offering the opportunity for pharmacists to join. Visit APRNWorldwide.com for more.

      Lastly, Lisa shares recent article highlights on the effects of abortion on men, and the importance of the involvement of men in pro-life work.

      • The Intersection of Missions and Life-Affirming Work

        Ellen Foell invites Hilary Alan to speak on her experience in life-affirming work starting with overseas missions and leading to her current role as a Client Services Director at a pregnancy center in Virginia. When God unexpectedly called Hilary’s family to move across the world to serve in the mission field, she learned valuable lessons about sharing the Gospel to people of different cultures. Hilary is now able to share how this translates to evangelization in the pregnancy help setting.
