What is Abortion Pill Rescue?

The abortion pill is the common name for using two different medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, in a two-step process that ends an early pregnancy before 10 weeks gestation. After taking the first abortion pill, mifepristone, some women realize they want to continue their pregnancies. No woman should ever feel forced to finish an abortion she regrets.

The first abortion medication, mifepristone, works by blocking progesterone. In the abortion pill reversal process, medical professionals use the natural hormone progesterone to support the pregnancy, increasing the chances of allowing the pregnancy to continue.

By quickly taking progesterone, this treatment, in cases, counteracts the effects of the abortion pill mifepristone.
