These people have form for their flexible approach to truth, though
UK women are being ‘used as guinea pigs’ by ‘abortion reversal’ doctors: or so they say... “We do help hundreds of women every day in the UK,” said a tired-sounding American woman who spoke to an openDemocracy undercover reporter in the middle of her night. “We’re like the international abortion pill reversal line.”
....
[T]he Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), which is a UK anti-abortion group, says the APR network’s 24/7 helpline has “surged with emergency calls amidst [the] coronavirus lockdown”. Its website also claims that this US-based network “includes UK based doctors”.
These are the people who set up deceptive 'crisis pregnancy counselling' services, disseminate long-exploded statistics about the long-term physical and emotional effects of abortion, and even tout the claims that ectopic pregnancies can be re-implanted in the right place.
So I'm wondering if any of the claims of these people are actually true, given that their own cited numbers wobble wildly from 'We do help hundreds of women every day in the UK' to 'APR’s proponents claim at least 60 women in the UK requested it in the first half of 2020' to 'She also claimed that in the UK “we’ve done about 100 [treatments] now.”'.
Perhaps my own view on this is skewed from years of delving into the history of women's desperation in search of ending unwanted pregnancies? I honestly don't believe that women go through the process of obtaining the abortion pill and then go 'oops! better slam on the brakes and go into reverse!'
Okay, history records instances of men slipping their lovers abortifacients or supposed abortifacients when they did not want to be burdened with a pregnant girlfriend or responsibility for her child, but is that a scenario likely to be very prevalent in C21st? that if discovered might drive a woman to this extremity?
