She welcomed a healthy son in July.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everyone makes mistakes,&#8221; said Dr. Kearney. &#8220;We all do things we later regret and wish we could turn back the clock. Many mothers who initially chose drug-induced abortion are coerced by others into making that choice and regret the decision to abort afterwards. Many others are in difficult situations and make panic decisions without considering all of the consequences. Many are misled and misinformed about what the abortion entails but quickly realize that they have made a terrible decision and want to try to save their babies. There are so many different reasons why mothers deserve to have a second chance to choose life if it can be offered to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Dr. Dermot Kearney, a Catholic doctor who has saved the lives of at least 66 unborn babies through abortion pill reversal treatment, successfully saved another baby\u2019s life this week in England.

Mifepristone counteracts the naturally occurring pregnancy hormone progesterone, depriving the baby of nutrients. The idea of &#8220;abortion pill reversal&#8221; involves administering progesterone to try to outcompete the effects of mifepristone. One small <a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/abortion-pill-reversal-a-record-of-safety-and-efficacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study<\/a> claimed a 66% success rate when the APR protocol was administered within 72 hours of a woman taking mifepristone.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kearney began offering APR in April 2020 after seeking advice from NHS England, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and the General Medical Council. It was at about this time that the UK government began to allow the abortion pill to be mailed to women.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Dr. Kearney and Dr. Eileen Reilly were banned from performing APR in the UK after MSI Reproductive Choices, the UK&#8217;s largest abortion business, filed a complaint. MSI Reproductive Choices claimed that progesterone as a treatment of the abortion pill is not backed by evidence, despite <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/media-lying-abortion-pill-reversal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">proof otherwise<\/a>. It also claimed that Dr. Kearney failed to tell women of any potential risks of APR and that he forced his pro-life beliefs on them.<\/p>\n<p>Three women came forward in support of Dr. Kearney and provided evidence for his defense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout Dr. Kearney\u2019s help, the alternative would have been horrific. I wouldn\u2019t have been able to forgive myself. I\u2019d be racked with guilt, with the shame of what I did, for the rest of my life. He was so supportive, compassionate and completely non-judgmental \u2014 and there was no mention of religion,&#8221; said one woman.<\/p>\n<p>By March 2022, Dr. Kearney&#8217;s case was won and he was allowed to offer APR to women once again.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Never, ever get tired of doing what is right,&#8221; he <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/doc-risked-license-abortion-pill-reversal-hormone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> in a 2024 speech at the Heartbeat International Annual Conference. &#8220;It can be discouraging.
