Baby saved from abortion after mother seeks abortion pill reversal

FOX 46 anchor Bill Melugin in Charlotte, North Carolina, shared a news report on Facebook that has people talking about “choice” and abortion in a whole new way.

Melugin interviewed Autumn Barnes, who took the first pill (mifepristone) of the RU-486 abortion pill regimen and regretted it, wondering if there was some way to reverse the process. To her relief, she found Dr. Matt Harrison, a creator of the Emergency Abortion Pill Reversal Kit, who administered progesterone injections in an attempt to reverse the effects of the pill. Barnes later delivered a healthy baby boy. The news report states that there are 300 physicians in the abortion pill reversal network, and as of the date of the video, 137 babies had been born thanks to the reversal:

Dr. Harrison and his team have stated that they believe women should be able to choose to change their minds, and that no woman should be forced to continue with an abortion against her will. The abortion pill reversal, Harrison says, is about 60% effective.
