A Reflection on the Movement
by Jor-El Godsey, President of Heartbeat International
As we reflect on the history of the pregnancy help movement, we are reminded of the countless individuals who have paved the way for us. From the Hebrew midwives of ancient times to the modern pioneers who established the first pregnancy help centers in the 1960s, our movement has always been defined by resilience, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to defending life. Over the past five decades, we have seen incredible advancements in technology and medicine, allowing us to provide even more comprehensive care to women in need. From the introduction of ultrasound technology to the development of innovative telecare and telehealth solutions, we have continuously adapted our methods to meet the evolving needs of women facing unexpected pregnancies.
Looking Back
As the President of Heartbeat International, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact of our movement in providing vital care and support to women facing unexpected pregnancies. For decades, our network of pregnancy help centers has been a beacon of hope — offering compassion, resources, and a lifeline to those in need. Together, we have saved countless lives and empowered women to choose life for themselves and their babies.
Looking Forward
However, as we look to the future, we must acknowledge the changing landscape and the new challenges that lie ahead. The abortion industry is evolving, becoming increasingly aggressive in its pursuit of profit at the expense of women’s health and well-being. With the rise of chemical abortion and the expansion of online distribution channels, the stakes have never been higher. Now more than ever, we need to adapt and innovate to meet the needs of women in crisis. We cannot afford to rest on our laurels or be complacent in the face of these challenges. Instead, we must Move the Movement forward, embracing new technologies and strategies to reach women wherever they are and whenever they need us most. A new, digital reach can help to strengthen our resources, and equip pregnancy help centers to meet the changing needs of women in crisis.
We must invest in cutting-edge technologies like telecare and telehealth, allowing us to provide immediate support and care to women facing urgent decisions. We can train and empower a new generation of virtual missionaries, reaching women in their time of need with compassion and understanding.
In standing together, we will advocate for policies and legislation that protect the sanctity of life and uphold the rights of women to ensure that every woman has access to the support and resources she needs to choose life for herself and her baby.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to women as we Move the Movement forward and build a future where every life is valued and cherished. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can bring hope to those in need. Together, we can Move the Movement.
Another key reason we must Move the Movement? The battle is getting more intense. Right now, a coalition of 17 states’ AG offices has vowed to...
1.) Expand abortion access; and
2.) Increase regulation of pregnancy help organizations.
Pro-abortion Attorneys General in California and New York are targeting both Heartbeat International and our network of care, suing to silence us from sharing the truth about Abortion Pill Reversal and the more than 5,000 lives that have been saved through this life-saving protocol.
