A story of grief turning to grit can change how we think about life, law, and love. Dr. Robert Jackson sits down with Jeannie Smith—once a patient in a crisis pregnancy center, now the executive director of Coastline Women’s Center—to trace how one decision reshaped her future and why she now advocates for South Carolina’s SB 323. Jeannie opens up about the pain of an abortion in her past, the miraculous healing that followed, and the calling that led her to leave a medical career and start a center from scratch. Her message is firm but compassionate: laws with real consequences deter abortions, protect unborn children, and spare women from decades of silent regret.
We walk through the heart of SB 323, sometimes called a personhood or unborn child protection bill, and why Jeannie supports “teeth” in the legislation. She argues that when clinics and prescribers face real penalties, abortion access collapses and decisions change. Dr. Jackson shares a patient’s thirty‑year secret and the way post‑abortion counseling restored her hope, underscoring the often invisible psychological and spiritual toll. Jeannie challenges the assumption that all women seeking abortion are victims, noting how online research and abortion pills increase isolation and deepen trauma. The conversation stays grounded in two commitments: moral clarity through law and everyday compassion through practical care.
If you live in South Carolina, we invite you to contact your state senator and ask them to support SB 323 without amendments. For more information, visit personhood.sc.
