Describing Heartbeat International’s accomplishments, Godsey explained that the “our statistics suggest that more than 3,000 babies were saved through successful APR starts,” a record high for the organization.
Google blocked all ads promoting the abortion pill reversal arguing that one of its “fact checkers,” the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, claim that the use of female hormones to reverse the powerful action of the drug mifepristone is not supported by science.
“Facts are important, especially when discussing the health of women and the American public. Claims regarding abortion ‘reversal’ treatment are not based on science and do not meet clinical standards. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) ranks its recommendations on the strength of the evidence, and does not support prescribing progesterone to stop a medical abortion,” ACOG has stated.
But pro-life activists who promote the APR claim that the ACOG’s position is ideological and not scientific. They argue that the National Institutes of Health’s National Library of Medicine has published important studies demonstrating that APR is safe and effective. One 2016 study that observed 754 women seeking to reverse their abortions reported that intramuscular progesterone and high dose oral progesterone had successful reversal rates of 64% and 68%, respectively, with no apparent risk of birth defects.
Godsey mentioned several other significant achievements of crisis pregnancy centers affiliated to Heartbeat International, including nearly 1 million interactions of women interested in opting for life rather than abortion.
