California sued Bay Area crisis pregnancy centers Thursday for offering an abortion pill reversal procedure that Attorney General Rob Bonta said is unproven and largely experimental., which operates pregnancy centers in San Jose, Oakland, Redwood City and Union City, accuses them of deceptive and fraudulent advertising of the abortion pill reversal procedure in violation of California’s false advertising and unfair competition laws.
Heartbeat International and RealOptions Obria representatives were not immediately available for comment.that erupted anew with the U.S. Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson last year overturning a constitutional right to abortion created by the court’s Roe v. Wade decision nearly 50 years earlier. Medication abortion typically uses a combination of two drugs — mifepristone and misoprostol — taken within 24 to 48 hours of each other to end a pregnancy up to 10 weeks of gestation.
But Bonta said the procedure has no credible scientific backing, and has potential risks for patients who undergo it. He said that the first and only credible study that tried to test the safety and efficacy of abortion pill reversal had to be halted after three of its 12 participants experienced severe bleeding and had to be rushed by ambulance to the emergency room. That, he said, raises questions about the risks of stopping a medication abortion midway and trying to reverse it.
