<\/div>

The Second Chance at Life Act, or House Bill 2982, <\/span>passed<\/span><\/a> by a vote of 83-15 in the West Virginia House of Delegates on Wednesday, March 24, with seven Democrats joining the Republican majority. The bill now heads to the state Senate for a vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

If passed into law, the Act would require mothers obtaining the abortion pill to be <\/span>informed<\/span><\/a> of Abortion Pill Reversal at that time. The abortion pill regimen consists of two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol. The first blocks progesterone, which \u00a0essentially starves the preborn child of nutrients, leading to his or her death. The second drug causes the mother to deliver her dead child, causing extreme cramping and bleeding. Since the abortion pill was FDA-approved in the United States in 2000, nearly four million children have been <\/span>killed<\/span><\/a> with the drug and at least 24 mothers have died after taking it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abortion Pill Reversal is a progesterone regimen that has the potential to counter the devastating effects of mifepristone (a progesterone inhibitor) and save the child\u2019s life. Many mothers have successfully <\/span>reversed<\/span><\/a> their abortions and saved their children\u2019s lives with Abortion Pill Reversal. Progesterone has long been dispensed to women at risk of miscarriage, yet the abortion industry and its allies have attempted to smear the reversal protocol<\/a> as “junk science.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

READ:\u00a0Media puts biased \u2018disclaimer\u2019 on OB\/GYN\u2019s abortion pill reversal op-ed<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

House Bill 2982 mandat<\/span>es that women seeking the abortion pill are to be informed,\u00a0<\/span>\u201cIf you change your mind, it may be possible to avoid, cease, or even to stop the intended effects of a chemical abortion utilizing mifepristone, if the second pill has not been taken. Please consult with a health care provider.\u201d The bill would also require that the state\u2019s Department of Health and Human Resources create physical handouts to provide women considering the abortion pill with information on Abortion Pill Reversal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Republican House member Tom Fast said of the Second Chance at Life Act, \u201cIt speaks to the other person in the equation. In these situations, let\u2019s not forget there are two people. You have the mother, and you have the unborn child. Telling the mother \u2026 if you change your mind, it may be possible to reverse this first medication. I think that is the cap on informed consent.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Editor’s Note 4\/16\/21:\u00a0\u201cThe FDA has received reports of serious adverse events in women who took Mifeprex. As of December 31, 2018, there were reports of 24 deaths of women associated with Mifeprex since the product was approved in September 2000, including two cases of ectopic pregnancy resulting in death; and several cases of severe systemic infection (also called sepsis), including some that were fatal.<\/em><\/p>\n

The adverse events cannot with certainty be causally attributed to mifepristone because of concurrent use of other drugs, other medical or surgical treatments, co-existing medical conditions, and information gaps about patient health status and clinical management of the patient. A summary report of adverse events that reflects data through December 31, 2018 is here.\u201d\u00a0https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/drugs\/postmarket-drug-safety-information-patients-and-providers\/questions-and-answers-mifeprex<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
