Some young women are pressured into having RU-486 abortions, either by family and friends or the abortion facility staff after expressing doubts. Some undergo that abortion procedure without fully
understanding the consequences. Others are conflicted and go through with them, only to instantly regret their choice that ends with the death of their child. There was little hope for these women until now.
The reversal process is simple, using a natural progesterone
treatment approved by the FDA to help prevent miscarriages. The treatment has been used to try to save pregnancies for decades, and is now being used to combat the progesterone-starving effects of the RU-486 abortion pill.
This new study followed 754 women, who after taking the
first pill in the medical abortion process regretted their decision and received progesterone treatment. The study found the lives of 261 babies were saved by progesterone treatments within 72 hours of taking the first
abortion pill. Various methods were examined. Women taking high-dose oral progesterone treatments had 68% of their children saved, and women receiving progesterone injections had 64% of their children saved.
The study used a conservative benchmark of only 25% of children surviving when their mothers took only RU-486 and not the second pill in the medical abortion regimen.
The study also noted that there was no increased risk of
birth defects of preterm births, and further noted that progesterone had been
used safely in pregnancy for decades.
Though abortion advocates are still clamoring that this
procedure is junk science, it is hard to deny its effectiveness when there
are lives being saved. They certainly have a vested interest in keeping women in the dark about this potentially life-saving procedure.
