Andrea Trudden, director of communications for Heartbeat International, which runs the <a href=\"http:\/\/abortionpillreversal.com\">Abortion Pill Rescue Network<\/a>, told Live Action News that 105 mothers started the process of halting their chemical abortions after calling the hotline. Trudden said, &#8220;We are now seeing over 80% of our callers start the reversal process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/?s=abortion+pill+reversal\">abortion pill reversal method<\/a> is available to mothers who begin the abortion pill regimen and regret their decision. Because chemical abortion is a two-step procedure, it may be possible to stop the death of the preborn baby and continue the pregnancy if the mother receives appropriate medical intervention. In a typical chemical abortion, a mother takes mifepristone (RU-486), which blocks the hormone progesterone. This gradually causes the baby to die through lack of oxygen and nutrients as the withdrawal of progesterone causes the lining of the uterus to break down. One to two days later, the mother then takes another pill, misoprostol, to induce contractions and bleeding to expel the baby\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lRDnVSMr5j0\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If a mother who changes her mind after beginning a chemical abortion receives <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/doctors-miscarriages-hormone-scorned-abortion-pill-reversal\/\">supplemental progesterone<\/a> before taking the second pill, there is a chance to save the baby\u2019s life and continue with a normal pregnancy (note: this chance is not a guarantee). The abortion industry has attempted to discredit the abortion pill reversal process and is using the pandemic to push for <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-national-telemedicine-includes-abortion\/\">expanding dangerous telemedicine abortions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trudden stressed that the nursing team answering the hotline and the provider network that manages the abortion pill reversal are available to care for women immediately. She wrote, \u201cWe understand this is a stressful time for many, and some women are starting chemical abortion because that is the only option they can see.\u201d Many of the calls the hotline receives are \u201cfrom the abortion facility parking lot or from the car on the drive home because the regret is immediate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/obgyn-debunks-study-defends-abortion-pill-reversal\/\">OB-GYN debunks pro-abortion study and media cover-up, defends abortion pill reversal<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Trudden added that in addition to women seeking abortion pill reversal, Heartbeat International&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heartbeatinternational.org\/our-work\/option-line\">Option Line<\/a> has seen a 30-50% increase in calls for assistance during the pandemic.
