Indiana is headed to court over a new law that requires doctors to tell patients about a so-called “abortion reversal” procedure that major medical organizations call “unproven and unethical.”
Medication-induced abortions require pregnant people to take two pills, at separate times. Anti-abortion advocates promote a procedure that, in the middle of the process, purports to “reverse” the abortion. There’s only anecdotal evidence of its success; no widely accepted study has confirmed its safety and effectiveness.
But Hoosier doctors must now tell patients about the procedure under new Indiana law, HB 1577. And a group of health care providers, including All-Options pregnancy resource center, Whole Woman’s Health Alliance and Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, are suing to stop what they call the “reckless” law from taking effect.
