Researcher who tried to discredit 'abortion pill reversal' gets lifetime achievement award

Abortionist Mitchell Creinin, a paid consultant for the abortion pill manufacturer who attempted to discredit 'abortion pill reversal,' has received a lifetime achievement award for his accomplishments in "family planning."

Key Takeaways:

• Creinin is an abortionist and a professor at University of California Davis, where he is the Director of Complex Family Planning Fellowship.

• He is also a paid consultant for Danco Laboratories, which manufactures the abortion pill.

• Creinin has tried to discredit 'abortion pill reversal' through studies.

• He has now been given a lifetime achievement award from the pro-abortion Society of Family Planning.

The Details:

The Society of Family Planning is an organization composed of doctors, nurses, and other supposed professionals dedicated to promoting abortion and birth control. It sponsors the Society of Family Planning Research Fund, which pays for abortion- and birth control-centered research, and is involved with the Complex Family Planning Fellowship, of which Mitchell Creinin is the director.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, the group awarded one of its own leaders a Lifetime Achievement Award, which is dedicated to those who have spent their lives promoting abortion and birth control. To put it lightly, Creinin definitely fits the bill.

“I have always worked with the idea that I can help an individual patient and I can also help countless others with important research so we can all provide better care,” Creinin said in the press release. “I value that so much of the work I have done, with many collaborators, is present in how abortion and contraceptive care is provided throughout the world.”

The Backstory:

Creinin primarily functions as a researcher now, though he has also committed abortions, estimating in a lawsuit that he commits approximately 500 per year.

He also has significant financial ties to abortion groups that work to expand access to chemical abortions and to overturn safety standards set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

But Creinin is perhaps most well-known for his attacks against 'abortion pill reversal' treatment, which is the administration of the pregnancy hormone progesterone in an effort to outcompete the action of the mifepristone abortion drug. Progesterone has been safely administered to pregnant women at risk of miscarriage for decades.

OBGYN Explains How Abortion Pill Reversal Works

Creinin authored the lone study which was used to claim that 'abortion pill reversal' is unsafe, though Creinin now claims 'abortion pill reversal' merely ineffective.

Using an extremely small sample size, Creinin's study noted that three women were taken to the emergency room due to hemorrhage. Rarely acknowledged, however, is that two out of those three women did not receive progesterone, which is used in the 'abortion pill reversal' process, and only took the abortion drug mifepristone (known to have a risk of causing hemorrhage); those two women both had to undergo emergency surgery.

Instead of proving that 'abortion pill reversal' is dangerous, Creinin's initial study showed the process is not only safe, but it's effective; twice as many of the women who received progesterone instead of a placebo saw their pregnancies continue, and twice as many women who received the placebo were transported to the hospital via ambulance.

While Creinin is now trying to say 'abortion pill reversal' is merely ineffective and doesn't work, this is unlikely. As one 2024 meta-analysis found, “In women at increased risk of pregnancy loss, progestogens probably increase live births without increasing adverse maternal and neonatal events.”

The Bottom Line:

Creinin has absolutely proven his loyalty to abortion, so it is not surprising that the abortion industry has chosen to reward him for it. But it is a tragedy that anyone would receive a lifetime achievement award for work that stole entire lifetimes from children before they were born.
