Emily was only 19 when she found out that she was pregnant. Most 19-year-olds are preparing for college.

Not Emily– well, not anymore. She was staring at two bright pink lines on her at-home pregnancy test.

She was terrified. What were her parents going to think? How was she going to support a baby on her part-time work salary? How was she going to continue college?

With fear driving her, she drove to Planned Parenthood. The first thing the nurse at Planned Parenthood had her do was sign waivers releasing PP from any legal responsibility if something were to go wrong. After all, the side effects linked to the abortion pill are startling.

Finally, the nurse handed her the first dose of the abortion pill, mifepristone.

Emily recounts,

“I didn’t know it then, but this pill would cut off the baby’s food supply and cause him to stop growing and thriving. I stared at the pill in my hand and became overwhelmed with sadness and the feeling that I was making a terrible mistake. But yet again, the fear I had of being pregnant overcame all other emotions, and I took the pill.”

So many stories end there. So many lives end there.

But not Emily’s story. Not her baby’s life.

On the drive home, Emily was overwhelmed with sadness and guilt. She regretted her decision to end her baby’s life.

“Ironically, it also poured rain the entire night. I felt like Jesus was crying for what I had done.”

When she got home, Emily confided in her sister that she had just taken her first abortion pill but regretted her decision.

That night, Emily and her sister scoured the internet for answers – was there a way to reverse the deadly path that Emily had begun?

Eventually, they came across a website discussing the abortion reversal pill. The website had a hotline nurse available, so Emily called the number.

While the nurse was finding resources for Emily in her area, Emily prayed for her baby.

“I felt like my soul was crying and pleading with the Lord on behalf of my baby’s life.”

Less than 12 hours after Emily had taken her abortion pill, she took her first dose of the abortion reversal pill.

For clarification, the first dose of the abortion pill (mifepristone) blocks progesterone from being absorbed by the womb. Progesterone is necessary for developing babies because it strengthens and maintains the uterine lining, reduces contractions, and prevents miscarriage. When this hormone is not allowed to reach the baby, the baby loses all stability and protection.

The abortion reversal pill floods the uterus and womb with progesterone– rushing to the aid and protection of the baby.

The abortion reversal pill is only effective if it is taken in less than 24 hours of the abortion pill and if the recipient has only taken the first dose (the reversal is ineffective if the second abortion pill, misoprostol, has been taken.)

By God’s grace, Emily (and her baby) had made it in time.

“I think a common misconception about babies and one that the abortion industry loves to promote, is that young babies in utero are only cells and aren’t real people. This is entirely untrue and when I saw that [six week] model I couldn’t believe that I almost ended my little baby’s life.”

That following July, Emily gave birth to a healthy baby boy weighing 9.5 pounds.

She named him Ezekiel, which means “God strengthens” because that is exactly what God did. He protected little Ezekiel from the abortion pill and its harmful intent.

“I am for forever changed into a new person because of my son and what I went through to bring him into this world. He is the absolute best thing that has ever happened to me and I am so blessed to have him as my son. God says children are a blessing and a gift from above, and I cannot agree more. I hope everyone when faced with this choice chooses life, but thankfully, if they make a mistake like mine, there’s a second chance, which is the reversal process.”

Emily and Ezekiel’s story is just one of many.

The abortion pill reversal saves lives and gives second chances.
