Washington Post Calls Abortion Pill Reversal Process “Junk Science.” Does This Baby Look Like Junk?

http://www.lifenews.com/2017/02/28/washington-post-calls-abortion-pill-reversal-process-junk-science-does-this-baby-look-like-junk/

The growing debate about a new abortion pill reversal procedure shows just how pro-abortion, and not merely pro-choice, abortion activists really are.

Abortion activists are bashing states that want to require abortion facilities to inform women of the new abortion pill reversal procedure, and attacking the procedure itself as “junk science.” The choice to reverse their abortion and save their baby’s life is one that abortion activists don’t seem to want women to have.

As currently administered, a chemical abortion involves taking the drug mifepristone (RU-486), which blocks the hormone progesterone and makes the uterus inhospitable to new life. One or two days later, a second drug is taken to induce contractions and expel her baby. The reversal process can counteract the first drug by giving the woman doses of progesterone, which allow the baby to continue normal development.

Dr. Matthew Harrison performed the first-ever reversal in 2007. At a press conference in 2015 sponsored by Priests for Life and the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Dr. Harrison said the baby who was saved is now a healthy and happy 8-year-old girl.

In 2015, Harrison reported more than 213 babies have been saved so far.
