When Rebekah decided to have an abortion, she turned to Google. It was easy for her to find an abortion provider, where she was given two pills that would terminate her pregnancy. She took the first one, then changed her mind, choosing to keep her baby. So she turned to Google again and found information about Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) treatment. A doctor prescribed hormone therapy, and she was able to stop the abortion process and save her child.
Rebekah’s son, now seven, is one of some 2,500 children born to mothers who have changed their minds midway through the abortion-by-pill process. Although APR treatment involves an FDA-approved and regularly-prescribed hormone — progesterone — it’s far less widely known than medical abortion itself. Google would like to keep it that way. The Big Tech giant has banned ads promoting APR from its platform, restricting access to this life-saving treatment from women seeking to make informed decisions about their health – and the lives of their children.
