Women are often pressured into abortion, or decide to go through with one because they feel they have no other choice. But sometimes, at the last moment, women find their own strength, change their mind about the abortion, and choose life. ‘Abortion pill reversal’ is possible.<\/p>\n

1. Ashley<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 20 years old, Ashley<\/a> discovered she was pregnant, but the boyfriend who convinced her to have sex with him by promising to take care of her and a baby if she did become pregnant, handed her money for an abortion and sent her off to get her abortion\u00a0alone. After taking the first dose of the abortion pill, Ashley\u00a0regretted it and asked the abortionist what would happen if she didn\u2019t take the second pill. She was told that the baby would die anyway, but if the baby somehow survived, he or she would be deformed…<\/p>\n

Ashley turned to her mother, telling her about the pregnancy and the abortion and her remorse. Her mother called a local crisis pregnancy center, and that center called Dr. Matt Harrison. Harrison had no idea what to do, but told them to come to his office. After flipping through textbooks, he had the idea of injecting Ashley with progesterone, to try to \u201cout-compete\u201d with the RU-486 which he says acts as a progesterone counterfeit and tricks the body into acting as if the pregnant woman is having a menstrual cycle, starving the placenta and the baby.<\/p>\n

Ashley wasn’t sure if there were risks to her or the baby as this had never been done before, but she knew she had to try it. It worked, and Ashley gave birth to healthy baby girl, Kaylie \u2013 the first baby saved by the ‘abortion pill reversal’ kit. Dr. Harrison is now part of the Abortion Pill Reversal network, and doctors who can ‘reverse’ the effects of the abortion pill can be found by visiting the site<\/a> or calling the hotline (1-877-558-0333). (Also, no serious risks for ‘abortion pill reversal’ have been identified. The abortion pill itself, on the contrary, includes very serious risks on its label, including the possibility of fatal infection and fatal bleeding.)<\/p>\n

2. Autumn Barnes<\/strong><\/p>\n

When Autumn Barnes discovered she was pregnant, she panicked. She and her boyfriend already had a daughter, and finances were tight. Scared, she secretly went to a doctor to access the abortion pill. After taking the first dose, she immediately regretted it, telling Fox 46 Charlotte<\/a>: “I just killed my baby. I have a little girl.\u00a0How is it fair that I just took an innocent child\u2019s life?”<\/p>\n

She turned to the internet in hopes of finding a way to stop the abortion, and she found a link to AbortionPillReversal.com<\/a>. She was doubtful that it would work, but she called the number to talk to a hotline nurse (1-877-558-0333) anyway.\u00a0 She was connected with a doctor who provides the ‘abortion pill reversal’ kit in her area. After taking the treatment, she went in for an ultrasound and was relieved to see that her baby was still alive. Months later, her \u201cmiracle\u201d baby boy, Walker, was born healthy and he continues to do well.<\/p>\n
