Dr Dermot Kearney is the former President of the Catholic Medical Association in the UK, is a cardiologist, and also a general surgeon. He has been involved with helping women with the abortion reversal pill. This article summarizes what you need to know about abortion pill reversal. In the United Kingdom, Dr Dermot was stopped by the General Medical Council from providing progesterone, later their decision was changed. At the time of writing Dr Dermot has helped 33 babies be born through abortion pill reversal.

There is a two-step process for chemical abortion. The first pill Mifepristone blocks the action of progesterone. Without progesterone, the placenta will separate from the uterus. Women obtaining abortions are advised twenty-four to forty-eight hours later to take the second drug: Misoprostol. In most cases, Mifepristone will have already killed the child. It deprives the child of nutrient production and oxygen. Misoprostol causes intense contraction of the womb and expels the baby. If a mother takes both pills, there is a 98-99% chance her baby will die and not survive. But if she takes the first pill and for some reason decides not to take the second pill, there is about an 80% chance her baby will die, depending on the stage of the pregnancy. If she is given progesterone, within a matter of hours, as time is crucial here, there can be a 50% chance her baby will survive.

If someone has taken the first abortion pill (Mifepristone) and has not taken the second pill (Misoprostol) there may be time to reverse the abortion process. Mifepristone blocks progesterone, but the abortion pill reversal reverses the effect of Mifepristone by providing progesterone replacement therapy. Progesterone is administered by vaginal pessary for several weeks similar to progesterone support used in threatened miscarriage. Abortion pill reversal is a safe process approved by healthcare professionals. The American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) states that abortion pill reversal offers a medically sound choice to reverse the effects of Mifepristone to women who have changed their minds about abortion after taking the first pill. It is not possible to reverse medical abortion if the second drug Misoprostol has been taken.
