Abortion pill reversal (APR) can miraculously save the life of a child and mercifully save the woman from the physical, emotional, and spiritual devastation of abortion. The reversal of mifepristone has been documented in all fifty states in the U.S. and in 93 other countries. While some medical organizations support this choice for women, others refuse to accept the reality that women commonly regret their abortion choices.
Denying the realities of abortion and regret
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) often deny the reality of Abortion Pill Reversal and refuse to advocate for this option for those who have regret after taking the abortion pill. Yet both organizations ironically warn abortion providers not to administer progestin birth control immediately after starting an abortion, because they might inadvertently cause a reversal.

Progesterone can cause “ongoing pregnancies” after mifepristone
ACOG and the CDC now admit that mifepristone can be reversed when progestins are prescribed along with abortion pills.
Both organizations acknowledge that progestin birth control, often given in the form of Depo-Provera, "may increase risk for ongoing pregnancy."
In the development of mifepristone, through animal and human studies, as well as in the human experience of thousands of women, there is continued confirmation that increased concentration of progesterone can displace mifepristone from the progesterone receptors and reverse a chemical abortion.
DepoProvera contains the hormone progestin, a synthetic (human made) form or progesterone and similarly causes reversal.
The CDC claims to be the nation's “leading science-based, data-driven, service organization.”
Similarly, ACOG has a vision for their members to provide “exceptional and respectful obstetric and gynecologic care is accessible to all.”
Despite their refusal to support APR as an option for women, they are not able to deny the science.

In the past, ACOG has stated that “facts are important” and has erroneously claimed that abortion pill reversal is not backed by science, calling the treatment "not backed by science" as well as "unproven and unethical."
Yet reversal is a basic principle of reversible competitive binding of drugs to receptor sites and is a foundational concept in drug development.
How mifepristone works is indisputable. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, an essential hormone in pregnancy. Mifepristone is a synthetic, anti-progesterone steroid that works by blocking progesterone receptors.
Mifepristone competes with the natural progesterone produced by the woman’s body to fill and block specific receptors.
With an increased concentration of progesterone, such as the progestin in DepoProvera, the mifepristone is quickly displaced from those receptors.
When providing APR, prescribers offer supplemental bio-identical progesterone, which is similar to what the mother’s body produces. This treatment works rapidly to fight the effects of mifepristone blockage.
With thousands of continued pregnancies after successful reversal, there is no doubt progesterone is an effective antidote to mifepristone.

Progesterone is widely used in obstetrical care throughout the world and has been an accepted treatment in pregnancy since the 1950s. The process of reversal is fully backed by science.
The CDC shares concerns about progestin DMPA, (also known as DepoProvera) decreasing effectiveness and increasing risk for ongoing pregnancy.
Similarly, ACOG warns abortion providers of an increased risk of “ongoing pregnancy.”
ACOG is a strong proponent of abortion as an “essential component of healthcare, and they give false warning of the dangers of reversal of mifepristone in a Practice Bulletins. Yet ACOG also cautions abortionists when administering hormonal birth control containing progesterone. They advise their members that giving DepoProvera after the abortion pill may cause a reversal.
Who is advocating for the safety and autonomy of women?
As a pregnancy choice, many would assume APR would be accepted by both pro-abortion and pro-life organizations. Still, some, in an effort to dissuade women from choosing APR, even falsely claim APR is ineffective, a form of misinformation that is without scientific backing and sometimes dangerous.
Official statements made by ACOG regarding abortion continuously fight for open access to abortion at all stages of pregnancy, with fewer safety precautions and restrictions for abortion providers. ACOG’s activities include producing practice guidelines and other educational material.
Reversal of mifepristone is strongly rooted in science. However, some medical organizations prefer political propaganda in order to influence women to complete their abortions rather than fight to continue their pregnancies and fight for their children. But other medical organizations see lifesaving care as an obligation and privilege.

The director of the CDC, Dr. Mandy Cohen, an advocate of expanded abortion has shared her disapproval of any abortion restrictions in the U.S. and refers to abortion as “health care.”
Despite continued big tech suppression, legislation, professional intimidation, and litigation witch hunts aimed at APR, thousands of children are alive today due to the APR protocol.
Sadly, it seems ACOG and the CDC do not advocate for informed choices for women, only for more chemical abortion even when the science continues to confirm Abortion Pill Reversal as safe and effective.
