On April 15, Heartbeat International will participate in two significant court hearings—one in California and one in New York. While these cases differ in legal approach, they raise the same critical question: Can pregnancy help organizations continue to share life-affirming information with women, especially in urgent and time-sensitive situations?

In this episode, host Lauren Bell is joined by Jor-El Godsey, Danielle White, and Andrea Trudden to unpack what’s happening, what’s at stake, and why it matters right now.
