In this courageous episode of Re-Establishment, host Bodie D'Andrea tackles the raw, often politicized subject of abortion with guest Crystal Hettinger, a woman who has lived on both sides of the issue. Crystal shares her deeply personal story: a young woman raised in a Christian home who, while in college and feeling far from her faith, faced an unplanned pregnancy and chose abortion—a decision she believed would solve her problems but instead led to years of grief, addiction, and a profound downward spiral.
Now the Director of Advancement for New Life Solutions, Crystal discusses her path to healing, redemption, and her calling to help others. She provides critical insight into the compassionate, free resources available today—from education and material support to mental health counseling and even abortion pill reversal—that she wishes she'd had. This is a conversation that moves beyond debate to focus on personal stories, tangible hope, and the life-affirming support available to women, men, and families in crisis.
