(Pregnancy Help News<\/a>) – As of last spring, about 50 people each month called Culture of Life Family Services in Southern California, seeking information on\u00a0Abortion Pill Reversal\u00a0<\/a>(APR).<\/p>\n

That was a high water mark for the pregnancy help medical clinic, which helped pioneer the life-saving treatment under the guidance of its medical director, physician George Delgado, in 2007.<\/p>\n

Now, that high water mark has changed, says\u00a0Heartbeat International<\/a>, which took the reins of the Abortion Pill Rescue Network and helpline last spring to accommodate and foster the protocol\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

Nearly one year later, the organization\u2019s pregnancy helpline,\u00a0Option Line<\/a>, logged more than 200 contacts from women seeking Abortion Pill Reversal in the month of February. That\u2019s four times the number of contacts the helpline received before it came under the management of Heartbeat International.<\/p>\n

While happy with the growth, Heartbeat President Jor-El Godsey says he is eager to see the numbers climb higher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is, indeed, good news and yet needs to be exponentially better,\u201d he told Pregnancy Help News.<\/p>\n

READ: <\/strong><\/span>These babies were saved by abortion pill reversal. So were hundreds of others.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Data from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute says that chemical abortions made up about\u00a030 percent<\/a>\u00a0of all abortions in the U.S. in 2014, the last year on record. That suggests that somewhere between 300,000 and 400,000 chemical abortions are happening on a yearly basis.<\/p>\n

But Godsey says that figure doesn\u2019t account for illegal abortion pill sales that are occurring online. Just two weeks ago, the Food and Drug Administration\u00a0sent a warning letter<\/a>\u00a0to two such websites that are selling the drug without prescriptions. Abortion advocates have promoted these websites in the interest of advancing \u201cself-managed<\/a>\u201d chemical abortions, especially following the conservative shift of the Supreme Court last fall.<\/p>\n

With this push come more gaps in the data collection for chemical abortions.<\/p>\n

While these gaps are challenging, Godsey pointed out a special way in which Abortion Pill Reversal is further complicating chemical abortion pill data.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe\u00a0500 babies<\/a>\u00a0who\u2019ve been born thanks to APR would be considered statistics by Guttmacher,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the reality is that those 500 babies were not in fact aborted\u2014they were rescued. Their families are still intact. It\u2019s surreal and an interesting juxtaposition.\u201d<\/p>\n

A handful of the hundreds of babies saved via Abortion Pill Reversal<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

With the growing number of calls Option Line has answered over the last year, Godsey expects that juxtaposition to become even more pronounced.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we engaged a thousand women through APR in a year, the research tells us that about 680, or\u00a068 percent<\/a>\u00a0of those babies, would be born\u2014meaning we will have doubled the APR success stories within a year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While Godsey is excited at that prospect, he envisions growing the number of success stories even further.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to get into the thousands and then the tens of thousands,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are hundreds of thousands of babies who can still be saved, even after starting a chemical abortion. Can we reach them? Do women know that APR exists? Can we serve them?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we think about where APR was, we\u2019re excited that we\u2019re now on track to reach a thousand women going forward. But it will be just into the thousands\u2014we really need to be in the tens of thousands of lives saved going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
