We don't quite have post-row abortion stats yet.

Once again, we've talked about this.

There's just no national abortion reporting law in our country.

But for a very long time in our nation, it's safe to say that we've averaged about a million abortions every year.

That's, of course, one million dead children, dead babies.

It's one million wounded and hurting mothers, women

who have lost the opportunity to actually parent their child, and much less talked about,

are the one million dads who have been affected by the abortion decision. This is an overlooked group, the post-abortive father. And so I'm

really grateful for our in-person guest today because dad's hurt after abortion too.

Hey, Pro-Lic Jen. I'm Kristen Hawkins. Welcome to this new episode of the explicitly

pro-life podcast. Today's in-person guest is Jeff Joaquin, who is a member of the board

of directors of Paradisysius Day, one of the founding members of the Tampa Bay Catholic

Men's Conference, and the owner of JMJ site

development. First, I've never heard of this, a philanthropic

construction company supporting worthy ministries all over the world.

Jeff, thank you so much for-

Thank you for coming down here.

It's a pleasure.

It's a pleasure.

I'm really interested today in hearing your story. You've been speaking out recently, been very open and vulnerable about the impact abortion has had on your life giving talks and places across the country. I think it's, you know, we've seen a lot in the

pro-life movement in the past 20 to 30 years of post-abortive women courageously coming out,

sharing their stories, talking about how abortion affected them physically, emotionally, spiritually.
