The Hidden Shift Reshaping Abortion and Society
The abortion debate didn’t end with Roe vs. Wade—it evolved.
What replaced it is faster, quieter, and far more complex.
In this conversation, Jor-El Godsey, President of Heartbeat International, breaks down how chemical abortion, digital access, and cultural shifts have reshaped the landscape—and why the real battle today isn’t legal, but human.
This is a conversation about conviction, faith, fear, and the power of one person showing up at the right moment.
