We Can Reverse Chemical Abortions!

A current executive director of a pregnancy center in Kentucky shared a story that stirred her heart and planted a seed that would produce fruit years later. One Saturday morning, she heard a knock on the door. The center hadn’t even opened yet.

Standing outside was a girl weeping uncontrollably. She had an unexpected pregnancy and had taken the first of two chemical abortion pills at an abortion clinic the morning before. She shared that she knew with every fiber of her being it was the wrong decision as soon as she swallowed that pill. She tormented herself all night and didn’t know who to turn to. She had called the abortion clinic, which told her there was nothing she could do and that she needed to take the second pill.

She came to her local pregnancy center to see if they could save her baby. At that time, the center did not have a protocol to help her. They called their Medical Director, an OB, as well as other OBs they knew. While these doctors agreed to see her, no one could help save her baby. That was eight years ago. Today, we can help women reverse chemical abortions!

One of the biggest weapons we have in the battle against chemical abortions is a simple hormone that’s already legal and used daily in OB/GYN offices around the country.

When a woman takes the abortion pill RU486 (mifepristone), the drug causes the mother to cease production of the hormone progesterone. Without progesterone, the baby can’t survive – but the drug doesn’t kill the baby immediately.

In fact, if the progesterone supply is restored within 72 hours, it is possible to reverse the devastating effects of the drug and save the baby’s life. All we have to do to restore the supply is give the mom tablets of progesterone. OB/GYNs give progesterone to women prone to miscarriage on a daily basis. It saves babies every day. And, it can stop chemical abortions.

Data shows that we can successfully reverse the effect of the abortion pill 68% of the time if we initiate the antidote within 72 hours of the mom taking the pill. A network of over 500 doctors across the country has saved the lives of almost 4,000 babies to date.

Abortion pill reversal is a growing area of ministry for pregnancy centers around the country. These centers are on the cutting edge of educating the public about the abortion pill, and also connecting patients with physicians who have the expertise to help them.

The Kentucky pregnancy center that was visited by that tearful client years ago has seen it work firsthand. They made the decision to be there for women who experience a change of heart. Once abortion pill reversal procedures were in place and medicines in house, a woman called from a neighboring state. She was nearly two hours away, but she was determined to drive to the center for treatment.

When she arrived, the ultrasound revealed that the baby still had a heartbeat. The nurse administered her first dose right then. The mom left with a prescription and a hopeful heart. She came back every week until she felt she was ready to see her obstetrician. The mom delivered a healthy baby without any complications.

This abortion pill reversal protocol does not increase the risk of birth defects. It simply supplies the mom with the life-saving hormone that her body normally produces. It saves lives!

“I ended up taking the first pill, and immediately after, I realized I’d done the wrong thing. I contacted the Abortion Pill Reversal hotline and they got me in touch with a doctor to start the reversal procedure with the progesterone. I started taking that, and now my baby is healthy and everything is perfectly fine. I’m having a girl, and I’m naming her Giselle.”
