How does reversal work?
Mifepristone, the first abortion pill, works by blocking progesterone, a hormone needed to maintain pregnancy. Abortion pill reversal uses additional progesterone in an attempt to overcome that blockade.

Rebekah’s story
Rebekah Hagan was a college freshman when she discovered she was pregnant. She feared her family would disown her and felt abortion was her only option. But after taking the first abortion pill, sitting in the clinic parking lot, she was overwhelmed with regret.
