In this episode Jen Pace is joined by Dr. Jason Phillips, a board certified OBGYN.

Dr. Phillips discusses several misconceptions about the abortion pill, like that it is "safer than Tylenol" and that medical complications occur in less than 1% of cases.

The abortion industry would like you to think that this medication is an easy way to deal with your unwanted pregnancy in the comfort and privacy of your own home, and there will be no physical mental or emotional complications.

Join us on Heartbeats as we discuss the myths surrounding the abortion pill.

NOTES-

In this episode Jen Pace references "Forbidden Grief"

• Book: Burke, T. K., & Reardon, D. C. (2007). Forbidden grief: The unspoken pain of abortion. Acorn Books.

In this episode, Jenn Pace talks with Brad Nelson and Doug Gray. Two men who have served as male mentors at First Coast Women's Services, to encourage men facing unplanned pregnancies in their relationships.

Our society tells us the man's role in a pregnancy should be only to support the woman in whatever decision that she makes. The world says that because men are so lacking in emotion, that an abortion wouldn't affect them anyway.

Listen in as we hear their stories, how they've been able to speak life into the men they've mentored, and how important it is for men to stand up and act like the leaders that God created them to be.

In the first episode of Heartbeats, Jennifer Pace, CEO of First Coast Women’s Services, sits down with Drena Gaydon, Analee Kluge, to confront a powerful and painful myth — that “abortion is the more compassionate choice if you’re not ready to parent.”

Each story is unique, but all share a common thread: the deep emotional and spiritual impact that follows abortion. Together, they reveal the truth behind the choice, the lasting effects that aren’t often talked about, and the hope that healing is possible.

This episode shines a light on the reality that abortion is not something you can simply “move on” from — and offers compassion, honesty, and restoration for anyone who has walked this road.

Episode 1 launches October 30, with new episodes released weekly.
