<\/div>

‘Abortion pill reversal’ (APR), a protocol which uses the hormone progesterone to assist women who change their minds after taking the first drug of the abortion pill regimen, has come under fire in the past several years \u2014 but since the reversal of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, an all-out assault has been waged against the protocol, with some pro-abortion officials even attempting to ban such treatment or penalize those who prescribe it. And a new lawsuit attacking APR problematically relies on a number of entirely biased, pro-abortion sources to make its case.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month<\/a>, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who replaced former attorney general Xavier Becerra (now the head of HHS), announced<\/a> the lawsuit<\/a> against “Heartbeat International (HBI)” and “RealOptions Obria,” claiming the pro-life organizations “used fraudulent and misleading claims to advertise an unproven and largely experimental procedure called ‘abortion pill reversal (APR).'”<\/p>\n

In his public press conference<\/a> announcing the lawsuit, Bonta showed his disdain for offering women life-affirming choices, stating: “The horrifying reality is that right now there are more crisis pregnancy centers in California than abortion care clinics. Crisis pregnancy centers do not provide abortion or abortion referral though they may want you to believe they do. They do not.”<\/p>\n

To make his case, Bonta gathered much of his evidence from radically pro-abortion sources, some with ties to the pill’s manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Live Action News reviewed the sources listed in the complaint \u2014 and, while some sources referenced the defendants’ studies or websites, many of the allegations supporting the lawsuit came from sources with a prominent pro-abortion bias.<\/p>\n

California is taking action to protect against misleading abortion information.<\/p>\n

We are a reproductive freedom state and will stay that way. https:\/\/t.co\/5E6knNQ0G6<\/a><\/p>\n
