Discussion for article #233820
The idea of an emergency abortion reversal kit is a front runner for most patently ridiculous nonsense of the year.
Emergency kits are for emergencies, and this obviously isn’t. Not even if evidence supported the treatment.

And if anything goes wrong, they’re unliikely to be sued, because there’s a huge wad of guilt hanging over the patient in the first place.
In my younger years (I’m now in my mid-60s) I did a fair amount of contract computer work for a Planned Parenthood clinic, and came to know quite a few of the staff. Based on what I know of those people, there’s one thing in this story that I disbelieve on its face: the suggestion that the patient was pressured by staff into taking the pill for the medical abortion. That did not happen; that would not happen… no staffer I knew would ever consider urging a patient to initiate an abortion if the patient was not 100 percent certain that’s what she wanted.
I notice the source of the story is a Catholic publication. Not to insist that they misrepresented what happened, but they do have an ax to grind, wouldn’t you say? It wouldn’t be the first time a Catholic source was dishonest about the circumstances of an abortion…

The fact that it is a Catholic publication being cited casts doubt on the whole story as well as the inclusion of a photo of a priest who is director of Priests for Life.
