Ohio Bill Would Require Docs To Talk About Controversial Reverse Abortion Procedure

An Ohio Senate committee is set to hear from opponents of a bill that would provide what’s being called “reversed abortions.”

Chemical abortions require two pills to be taken 72 hours apart. Barry Sheets with the Right to Life Action Coalition of Ohio says abortions can be reversed before that second pill is taken, especially when progesterone is prescribed and taken within hours after taking the first pill.

A 2018 peer reviewed study showed that between 64 to 68% of pregnancies where the woman chose to discontinue the chemical abortion procedure and opt for the reversal procedure were saved.”

This bill would require doctors providing abortions to tell women about this procedure. Sheets and other backers of this bill say at least 900 women who began the medication abortion procedure were able to reverse that process with progesterone.

Just have to say that Ohio sucks. With all of the gun loving, woman hating nutjobs at the statehouse I don’t see things getting better in the foreseeable future. Gerrymandering has ruined this state.
