Pro-aborts: Abortion pill reversal makes women “unwilling guinea pigs”
by Carder
There is no science to support this. ACOG [American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists] does not support advising women on treatments that are not evidence-based.
These women would be unknowing and unwilling guinea pigs.
~ Gynecologist Ilana Addis concerned about the recent pro-life bill passed in Arizona “that would require doctors who perform such abortions to tell their patients that if they reconsidered their abortion after taking their first pill, they should return to the doctor for a procedure that can allegedly ‘reverse’ the abortion,” The Atlantic, March 27

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
First of all, ACOG allows inexperienced political operatives to rewrite their statements. Second, a woman who contacts her doctor to say she’s changed her mind is neither unwilling nor unknowing. But is your real objection the notion that women might not actually want to abort their children? Because when laws are proposed to widen hallways or ensure that women are safer, you fight rather than support those measures.
“It’s rare for women to regret their abortions because obstetricians are advised not to perform the procedure on patients who are unsure,” Addis said.
Well then, I suppose there is no need for Ilana to concerned. Abortionists only give abortion pills to women after they have taken care to make sure that the woman is firm in her decision to abort the child!
Does anyone have info on how the abortion-reversal pill works? Wouldn’t it have to have passed the FDA to be legally available at all?
I have limited information about it. I know that women have had turnarounds and had the RU 486 abortion reversed and given birth.
Oh I see. It’s a high dose of progesterone.
It seems like providing the information to women that a reversal may be possible, giving them the possible side effects of the reversal attempt, and just having them in contact with a sympathetic ear in case it doesn’t work would be worth having CPCs able to administer it, but I am not sure that I love the idea of having the abortion clinic offer the possibility of reversal. It seems like they would twist it into another way to sell abortion.
“Don’t worry, if you change your mind you can have it reversed. If you’re even considering it, just have the first dose and then think on it. “
Ilana Addis is lying through her teeth. Progesterone support to prevent miscarriage, whether spontaneous or medical, is extremely well researched and is standard of care for any proficient OB/GYN. A few examples: http://www.naprotechnology.com/references.htm#m
It seems that abortion pill reversal really scares the abortion lobby. All the more reason that we should do more to support it.
They don’t like the idea of people wondering if women REALLY have decided that abortions are necessary or are just being sold them.
That said, I oppose mandating abortion facilities to go through specific informed consent. They just twist it and it maintains the “state trying to intrude in doctor/patient relationship” paradigm the abortion rights lobby uses.
We need to push hard for “right to redress” laws. Make it easier to sue. If the abortionist can not show informed consent through preponderance of evidence, he has to pay up. And if the lack of informed consent involves either info about fetal development or an opportunity to reverse a procedure in-process, the suit should be for wrongful death.
We need to establish in the public mind that this isn’t a situation in which the meal old prolifers try to intrude in the doctor/patient relationship. They need to get that in abortion, there is NO doctor/patient relationship. The doctor is a technician there to perform a procedure that was sold before he even showed up. He has no more relationship with that patient than a AAA member has with the tow truck driver who shows up when her car breaks down 500 miles from home.
