Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark · An OBGYN On What The Abortion Pill Actually Does To Your Body | Dr. Christina Francis, MD · 20 Feb 2026 podcast

Yes, it is, which is, I think, if we can find any kind of silver lining on the fact that more abortions are being done via this drug instead of surgery, abortion pill reversal is that silver lining.

So we know that there is a huge amount of regret about

from women after they have an abortion in general, but especially with the pills.

And I had one woman, so I'm actually a provider of abortion pill reversal.

I'm part of the network of physicians who provide this life-saving treatment.

And one woman that I talked to as part of that told me that when she found out that she was pregnant, it was an unplanned pregnancy,

She was not ready to be a mom.

It was like she was walking around in a fog.

Like she just really couldn't think clearly because all she could think about was the fact that she was pregnant.

She didn't know what she was going to do.

And then when she took that first abortion drug, Mifepristone, she said it was like she thought, OK, crisis averted.

I took care of it.

But then immediately after that, she said it was like the fog lifted and all of a sudden she could think clearly again.

And the moment she could think clearly, she thought, oh, my goodness, what did I just do?

and she regretted it and she wanted to save her baby.

And so she called the abortion pill reversal hotline.

So the way we can reverse this, it doesn't work 100% of the time, but it works in many cases.

So we think right now with the data we have about 70% of the time,

If we get to a woman within 72 hours of her taking mifepristone before she takes that next drug and we give her progesterone.

So we use a very simple biochemical principle, something called reversible competitive inhibition, which is a big word.
