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.
