Abortion Pill Reversal Information Act

Home > Legislative Action Center > Abortion Pill Reversal Information Act

H.B. 378

Status:

Introduced in the Ohio House - July 15, 2021

The proposed legislation requires doctors prescribing a Mifepristone chemical abortion to also provide written information informing the patient of scientifically proven abortion reversal procedures in the event she changes her mind.

The Mifeprex chemical abortion procedure is a two-day regimen used to terminate early pregnancies by blocking the hormone progesterone needed to sustain pregnancy with the first drug, Mifepristone. A second drug, Misoprostol, stimulates uterine contraction to expel the dead baby. Women who choose chemical abortion and regret it within the first two days of taking the first drug have a chance to save their baby, as long as they have not taken the second drug. The reversal procedure has been proven to be successful in 64-68% of cases. The procedure involves administering progesterone to the mother, which can reverse the impact of the first drug and allow the baby to continue normal development.

I'm writing to urge you to support the Abortion Trafficking Prevention Act.

This legislation would prohibit fetal tissue trafficking. Federal law currently bans this practice, but a loophole allows tissue traffickers to compensate abortion clinics for services related to the trafficking of fetal tissue, including storage and transportation. This bill would make the exchange of any form of compensation for fetal tissue or organs illegal, and would make the activity a third degree felony.

As you can see, Ohio law currently allows abortion facilities to profit twice from a child's death: First, for performing the abortion, and second, for selling the unborn child's remains under the guise of other services. Abortion is inhumane enough without the added horror of fetal organ trafficking.

I urge you to support the passage of this legislation to ensure that every aborted child is treated humanely, even in death. No child's value can be measured by the sum of her parts.
