Abortion Pill Reversal is based on science and has saved thousands of lives as mothers continue to experience regret from chemical abortion and desire to save the lives of their children. As our culture insists on trusting the science in many areas, APRScience.org exists to “assist clinicians and researchers seeking access to Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) medical evidence.”
Given the scientific evidence supporting Abortion Pill Reversal (APR), and with children actively enjoying healthy lives today after successful APR, a logical opposition to APR does not exist.
Yet many invested in the abortion industry continue to create and distribute myths surrounding this life-saving treatment.

Paul DeBeasi, Analyst, Author, Speaker, and Director of APRScience.org, brings truth and facts based on science as he discusses the following myths in this article surrounding APR at APRScience.org and in his presentation, Debunking Common APR Myths Using APRScience.org.
Myth #1: Abortion cannot be reversed.
The first myth addressed by DeBeasi comes from Dr. Mitch Creinin, Abortion Provider and paid consultant of Danco Laboratories, a distributor of Mifepristone, stating, “abortions cannot be reversed.” Yet the truth is, Mifepristone is a progesterone antagonist, and by increasing progesterone in the body, Mifepristone can be outcompeted and reversed. This myth, stating that abortions cannot be reversed, has been debunked by statistics that now show over 7,000 lives have been saved. Chemical abortions are reversed worldwide every single day through the Abortion Pill Rescue Network.
Myth #2: Embryo Survival Rates after APR are no different than placebo.
The second myth is used by Dr. Daniel Grossman, stating, “embryo survival rates after APR are no different than placebo.” DeBeasi provides an explanation and shares evidence-based support, revealing the pregnancy rate after mifepristone is no greater than 25% and APR success rates ranging from 64-68% with two-thirds of women receiving progesterone safely continuing their pregnancies.
Myth #3: APR is based upon junk science.
ACOG brings the third myth by stating, “APR is based upon junk science.” The truth is, Dr. Delgado’s 2018 study did not include randomized controlled trials, as this would have been unethical for some of the women participating in the study to have received a placebo treatment, thus ending the life of their child for the study and research validating the effectiveness of Abortion Pill Reversal. Dr. Christina Francis also addresses this myth on APRScience.org, while including “none of the trials that were included in the approval of mifepristone were randomized clinical trials. Those trials either used a historical control group similar to Dr. Delgado’s 2018 study or they were a dose comparison study.” It is worth noting that Francis shares in reference to mifepristone approval, “abortion proponents have no problem using mifepristone,” while knowing it was not approved through randomized controlled trials.
Myth #4: APR is unsafe.
The fourth myth is by Dr. Mitch Creinin, falsely stating, “APR is unsafe.” DeBeasi explains that Creinin makes this farse based on his statement that mifepristone, not followed by misoprostol, is unsafe due to hemorrhaging. However, the two women in his study of reference who needed emergency medical intervention were the ones who only received mifepristone and did not receive progesterone. Of the five women who received progesterone in his study, four of the women went on to have viable pregnancies. The incredible truth Dr. Creinin brought through his study is the evidence that APR is, in fact, not unsafe and is, in fact, successful, with his study revealing a high APR success rate of 80%. Dr. Christina Francis adds, “Creinin’s study shows that APR works.”
Myth #5: Abortion Pill Reversal may increase risks of birth defects.
The final myth discussed by DeBeasi states, “Abortion Pill Reversal may increase risks of birth defects.” The truth of this myth is validated with citations from DeBeasi, revealing physicians have safely used progesterone in reproductive medicine since the late 1970s, and progesterone has been shown to reduce the risk of premature birth. Dr. Christina Francis adds, “A study published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology showed that there was no increased risk of birth defects in women exposed to mifepristone over the general population and there was no trend towards a particular defect.”
