Counteracting The Abortion Pill One Life At A Time

This is family policy matter programs produced by the North Carolina family policy Council of profamily research and education organization dedicated to preserving the family and up from the studio here is John Rustin, Pres. North Carolina family policy Council, thank you for joining us this week for family policy matters. It is our great pleasure to have Dr. Matthew Harrison with us on the program. Dr. Harrison is a pro-life family physician based in the Charlotte North Carolina area who is associate director of the culture of life. Family services is also the medical director of the student health clinic at Belmont Abbey College, an instructor at the Campbell school of osteopathic medicine. Dr. Harrison is one of the pioneers of the abortion pill reversal method which he used for the first time in 2006 to reverse an RU-486 chemical abortion on a woman who changed her mind after taking the abortion pill.

Dr. Harrison is with us today to talk about the abortion pill reversal method how we can work to stop at RU-486 abortion and how many lives have been saved since some pro-life doctors began using it. Dr. Harrison welcome the family policy matters. Well, it's great to have you on the show before we talk about the abortion pill reversal method or APR. I want to talk briefly about the RU-486 abortion regimen because I think it's important for listeners to understand how RU-486 works in order to better understand how the reversal method works.

Dr. Harrison, what is RU-486 and how does it work to end the life of an unborn baby RU-486 also noted that the Brickstone or brand-name is a medication that have been anywhere between nine weeks of pregnancy and what it does mimic the progesterone that a woman's body naturally has that is there to support the pregnancy and so what this does is it goes in a lock scepter around really able to perform its natural function so when the progesterone receptor is blocked. Maybe we.

Oxygen in any anything that baby during pregnancy and essentially the placenta separate away from your law and may be income out almost like a miscarriage or as I mentioned in 2006, and you use the abortion pill reversal method for the first time on a pregnant woman who had started the RU-486 pill regimen and had changed her mind.

Subsequent to that share with us if you would that story and what happened to that young baby and working in my awkward and rent entered in the area and one of the Christ called me and they said that they had a young lady called them and tell them that he had just taken RU-486 that she regretted that she wanted to do whatever she could maybe and I really had no idea what that has been the center right over.

So actually came to my office.

You a 19-year-old young lady really know Frank got it right so I really barely walk out of and pray about what I did.

I went off it.

I would through what caused the condition) large book that has all the medication that we hear and think about how our work and it but that that time Dr. Danny Holland partner dog training for fertility treatment you grow our thinking you know it. I like to keep it under the law. Everett thrown in the key that did a lot but doesn't return it. While we can grow a bunch of extra good into the mix that we can outcompete the bad and not another regarding prefix and hopefully that progesterone will have overpowered regarding prefix big play out.

God pretty much just replacing progesterone that would being blocked by the report that explained the young lady and Philip is done and noted this good, prolonged bleeding could cause a prolonged abortion. The baby might still die and vertical removal, but you know going.

Good and are good you could aggravate the neighbor inject an event of print that began the blade all the emergency room when and thank you heartbeat they had not been abortion pill and come and the doctor thanked me for a home in Britain that could and come up meeting on Monday.

We will be able to reconfirm the heartbeat and we continue progesterone in connection twice a week because you can't wait.

We then delivered a perfectly healthy little girl and of repeating her and that little girl is now eight years old doing wonderful. Help me through Your Honor the football game.

No problem at all. Really excited to ignited the meat department and maintain a really good euro in my very brave and really know what you abortion were allowed to maneuver to work to abortion and really have a change of heart and wanted about how exciting it is really a thrilling story and I get the feeling I will assume it's amazing how the balloon opening your eyes and mind to the options and opportunities there and thank you for your willingness to step out into that in seeking a new method of treatment for this.how many other women have you personally treated with APR therapy and what were the results personally actually create one for you know obviously did not opening that occurred really frequently in but right now there are what about 188 for helping their 76 other women that are currently going through your own reverse.

Working and baby are doing very well. Really excited. 512 explain what role does timing play. The terms and successful items of this type of treatment earlier the better part. I are still collecting data. I hope Republican coordinator and everything like to act within the first 72 hours and also before the effective medication which is the laboring newsletter given the normally women take abortion pill and then 38 were 72 hours later they think effective medication called final turn and medication causes them to go into labor and then expelled baby and fill out.

Obviously, we need to hook it.

The progesterone acting as quickly as possible and also make different how girly a woman is her pregnancy with her earlier is in a pregnant family take abortion pill, the more effective it is a killing the baby and so it gets. She is 9 1/2 pregnant, which is actually not at be approved but is what we see a lot in practice, those babies have a better chance of surviving the imprint of the better Of surviving the tall women to think know it's too late to live within the compound or they can do and even women.

We have found that have still lost her baby Fell because of relief and cultlike know at least that Trident did try to do something to say about it correctly think that they live from and so bring some benefits from from even in the cases where women still lose the baby and I know you part of the growing network of doctors who were using the abortion pill reversal method. Family physicians nationwide that you are aware of all you working with and in the process of this are you working on account of the partnership with pregnancy resource centers go nationwide and had reversal of importing country across the world. So this is spreading all over and the way it works is that it when a woman regret taking the pill he wants to change it.

We have a website in a mobile application that Google search of abortion pill reversal or anything related that in our website and our mobile fight will pop up. They call one 800 number of and do we have that of staff convert were wonderful at what they do they find out where the organs located get all the information and then we can contact her network of position and get them through the one that's close to them that we are having more medical pregnancy resource Center are coming on board. Each one of those pregnancy centers has a physician, medical director who is been in charge of maintaining protocols and making sure that everything is done correctly rigidly to see.net will continue to grow. I do want to give you an opportunity to answer some of the critics of the abortion pill reversal method to say that I is no scientific evidence that this method works and there haven't really been any peer-reviewed scientific studies of this method.

How would you respond to those critics and what they are saying to try to cast doubt on the effectiveness of this method, you really are… Without question and that's what makes this in the quest that with Madison in November improved a lot to do F? Like any other type of numerical development. Start with case study. So in 2012 Dr. George Delgado and Mary Davenport will work with the cultural and family services published a series of case studies.

The in the annals of pharmacotherapy of the first six virtual Republican in that of journal and up for the embryos survived and went on to have healthy deliveries into the thought and encode a case study of journal article really is just the presentation of medical events that have happened to that question is not something that we should look for it, so we certainly got a lot of that article and a lot of a lot more people think know this doesn't look like there's some merit to it. Of course I thought had to make logical that the scientific fit in. So what I explained earlier about how progesterone works in combating party 46 make logical medical front that is so then you get to case studies which we already have, and studies like this really have to be done or what we call retrospective matter document take thousand pregnant women give them all party 46 and then give half of the progesterone and have the placebo that would be applicable to what we needed to take cases where women have decided felt reverse their abortion and then offered. They, the women have decided which method of reversal they prefer other method of progesterone delivery that makes the data a little bit more About evaluate only after the note I posed in the health and safety of the mother and the and the baby and also that they've been through a traumatic event already got your divorce. David, no strict scientific protocol.

So it's really something that the doctor and the patient work out what's the best way to go about doing this for her health and safety and peace of mind is a little take longer to collect this information and unfortunately just about time for this week, but I did want to let you have opportunity to tell our listeners what they can go to find out more information about the abortion pill will most method yet so the best girl is www.abortionpillreversal.com both get everything they need to know right there.
