(Pregnancy Help News<\/a>) – [On Wednesday],\u00a0Sen. Peggy Lehner testified in support of the Abortion Pill Reversal Information Act,\u00a0Senate Bill 155<\/a>, in its first hearing before the Ohio State Senate. Sen. Lehner, bill sponsor, is a former president of Ohio Right to Life and a champion for the unborn.<\/p>\n

“This issue should not be one side versus the other. This legislation is intended to give another choice to women who are in desperate situations,” said Sen. Peggy Lehner. “We are not forcing anyone to take the abortion pill reversal treatment \u2013 we simply want to give women more information on another option available to them.”<\/p>\n

Otherwise known as the \u201cabortion pill\u201d or RU-486, chemical abortions involve two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone, the first pill, destabilizes a pregnancy by blocking progesterone, the natural hormone needed to sustain a healthy pregnancy. To finish the abortion, misoprostol induces labor, forcing a woman\u2019s body to deliver the baby.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Ohio Department of Health<\/a>, 5,345 chemical abortions took place in the state of Ohio in 2017.<\/p>\n

The legislation would require doctors prescribing a mifepristone chemical abortion to also provide written information informing the patient of scientifically proven abortion reversal procedures in the event she changes her mind.<\/p>\n

“Abortion is a permanent ‘solution’ \u2013 death \u2013 to the mother\u2019s problems, often poverty or lack of support, which remain unsolved by her abortion,” said Stephanie Ranade Krider, vice president of\u00a0Ohio Right to Life<\/a>. “But the good news today is that if a woman takes the initial step and takes the first pill to begin a chemical abortion, there are steps she can take to reverse it if she changes her mind. She just needs to know where to go, and that\u2019s what this legislation is all about \u2013 providing information.”<\/p>\n

For women like\u00a0Shashana\u00a0<\/a>who regret beginning that process, abortion pill reversal offers a last chance to save a life.<\/p>\n

Developed by physicians George Delgado and Matthew Harrison in 2007, the treatment works by giving women extra progesterone up to 72 hours after a woman takes the first chemical abortion pill. Last year, Delgado\u00a0released a study<\/a>\u00a0showing that 64-68 percent of women who used the protocol were able to give birth to a baby with no greater risk of birth defects than the general population.<\/p>\n

Managed by\u00a0Heartbeat International<\/a>, the abortion pill reversal protocol is backed by a 24\/7 helpline (877-558-0333) and a robust provider network of more than 800 clinicians (33 in Ohio), known collectively as the\u00a0Abortion Pill Rescue Network.<\/a><\/p>\n

Since its inception, the Abortion Pill Rescue Network\u00a0has saved more than\u00a0900 babies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that no woman should be forced to complete a procedure she no longer desires and abortion pill reversal offers a last chance to choose life for preborn children,\u201d said Christa Brown, Director of Medical Impact for Heartbeat International. \u201cAll women seeking chemical abortion should be made aware that reversal is possible and help is available on our hotline and\u00a0website<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
