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

But essentially what that means is if you...

If you give a woman a substance that is meant to block a receptor like the progesterone receptor, you can actually out-compete that substance by giving the substance that was meant to fit into that receptor.

So by giving her a lot of progesterone.

So again, it's a basic biochemical principle.

In the development of mifepristone, they actually showed that you could reverse it with progesterone.

So if we give women progesterone, that hormone that's naturally produced in their body at doses, by the way, that are used by the infertility industry for the last 50 years to support IVF pregnancies, women with recurrent pregnancy loss, this is not a new and novel use of progesterone.

and we're using the same doses that the infertility doctors use, you can actually out-compete the mifepristone and reverse the effects, similar to when we give Narcan to combat the effects of fentanyl, to reverse a fentanyl overdose.

It's the exact same principle.

We give progesterone.

We can save those babies.

And I can tell you, having had some successful reversals and actually getting to deliver one of those babies that we saved, it was the most amazing delivery I think I've ever done, knowing that that baby had been snatched from death.

through just a very simple thing like giving giving natural progesterone and so that has led to saving i think now the number is somewhere around 7 000 babies across the world there are doctors in other countries that are doing this as well and it really is an amazing hope to be able to give to women who regret their abortion decision but also to be able to try to save their babies for women who are facing unplanned pregnancies what other options and alternatives exist for her

I think this is something that women, again, oftentimes aren't told, certainly if they're going to an abortion facility.

They are being sold one option, which is abortion.

But, you know, I think that there are so many other options available to her that are not only life-saving for her child, but also that are empowering for her.

I mean, as a woman, I find it honestly very demeaning that women

People are telling women that the only way to be successful in life or to pursue their goals or to be able to take care of the children they already have is to end the life of the child that is inside of them.

It's very demeaning.

It's not supportive of women.

And we believe, I believe very strongly in empowering women, not only with information, but with real support and real choices.
