Often when a woman elects to undergo an abortion, it’s because she senses she has no hope and no other options. The abortion pill, which now accounts for over half of all abortions nationwide, is a 2-pill ration taken over a 2-3 day period. The first pill is often administered in an abortion clinic and the second pill is then handed off to the woman, who is to take it at home in the next 1-2 days. An already isolated and fearful woman is left to wait for the end of her pregnancy alone.
And yet, in the time between administering the first abortion pill and taking the final pill, thousands of women have second thoughts while they wait.
Medical practitioners nationwide are helping women reverse the effects of the first abortion pill through Abortion Pill Reversal Protocol, a safe and effective way to stop a chemical abortion.
How does Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) work?
The main chemical in the first abortion pill is mifepristone, a progesterone receptor antagonist. Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone in women that is essential in producing vital nutrients to a baby. Without progesterone, an unborn child cannot survive, and mifepristone blocks this essential hormone. However, the Abortion Pill Reversal Protocol simply restores the supply of progesterone.
Dr. Angelique Pritchett, a family practice physician, explains:
“Progesterone is a hormone that is naturally present in a woman’s body. This progesterone floods the uterus to counteract the effects of the mifepristone pill she took in the [abortion] clinic. This progesterone support is given under my care and can be in the form of capsules taken by mouth, or injections in the hip muscles.”
How effective is APR?
One case study observed 754 women who underwent Abortion Pill Reversal Protocol. Women who were given an intramuscular injection of progesterone saw a 64% success rate in reversing the effects of the abortion pill. Women who took an oral dose of progesterone successfully reversed the effects of the abortion pill 68% of the time.
Is APR safe?
The abortion pill reversal protocol uses natural progesterone to counter the abortion drug. Progesterone is completely safe and is associated with no known birth defects. It is a naturally occurring hormone in women’s bodies that has been used safely in pregnancy, including to treat recurrent miscarriage and infertility treatments, for over 50 years. Thousands of women have successfully reversed the abortion pill process and saved their pregnancies, leading to happy, healthy babies.
Abortion Pill Reversal Protocol is so safe that nearly 1,000 medical practitioners make up a worldwide network that has saved over 6,000 lives. In fact, women in every U.S. state and in 96 different countries have safely and effectively used abortion pill reversal protocol.
What’s next?
For a woman who has taken the first abortion pill and is having second thoughts, it might not be too late.
There is hope in the waiting.
Dr. Pritchett explains:
“A woman typically has 24 to 72 hours before starting the protocol after the first pill is taken for the protocol to be effective.”
Even after an expectant mother has taken the first abortion pill, there could still be time to save her child. A nationwide network consists of medical practitioners and clinics just like Two Lines, who stand ready to help women in crisis.
