When Addiction and Pregnancy Cross Paths - Jessica Alexander

Join host Chad LaComb and Jessica Alexander, Director of Birth Choice

Centers in Temecula, Mayor Pro Temp for the city of Temecula, former

Marine, and NYPD motorcycle officer for a raw look at the collision of

addiction, unplanned pregnancy, and trauma. A mother of five from a

family touched by alcoholism, Jessica’s on the front lines, supporting

parents in crisis.

Key takeaways: 64% of women defer to fathers in unplanned pregnancy

decisions, enter the Fatherhood Project, “sharpening dads” to save moms.

Addiction fuels the chaos, lowering inhibitions, clouding choices, and

leaving babies born hooked on methadone or families shattered by the

next fix. Trauma compounds, from past wounds to abortion’s lifelong

grief (women in their 80s still carry it). And then there’s the

high-schooler crowd-sourcing her abortion choice on social media, a look

at today’s crises in real time.


Birth Choice Centers offers real help: diapers, training, emotional

support, and addiction resources; no shame, just healing. Jessica’s

mission? Be there, no matter the mess.
