Heartbeats Season 1: Dispelling Myths About Abortion

In today’s culture, conversations about abortion are often filled with confusion, misinformation, and half-truths. At First Coast Women’s Services, we believe women and families deserve clear, compassionate, and truthful information when facing an unplanned pregnancy.

In our first season of Heartbeats, we take time to dispel some of the most common myths about abortion—addressing what it really is, what it isn’t, and the long-term impact it can have. With clarity and care, our team unpacks the facts so that every woman can make an informed decision, free from pressure or fear.

Whether you are seeking answers for yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to be more informed, this podcast is designed to bring truth, hope, and encouragement.

  • Episode 3: The Myth of "Economic Status"
    Nov 20 2025

    Miranda & Mimi, both former clients of First Coast Women's Services, share with us their stories of choosing life in the face of overwhelming socioeconomic difficulties.

    Both of their living, and financial situations alone would have been more than enough for some of our culture's most well meaning people to say, aborting their child would have not only been acceptable, but completely understandable.

    So many post abortive women say that if they had just one person supporting them, they'd have chosen life for their child.

    Please enjoy this week's conversation with Miranda & Mimi, about the support they found, and how God spoke into their lives, giving them the confidence to choose life for their boys.

  • Episode 3: The Myth of "The Abortion Pill"
    Nov 13 2025

    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.

  • Episode 2: "The Myth of the Man's Role"
    Nov 7 2025

    In this episode, Jen 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.
