The abortion industry twists the truth. Let's look at their claims and the (peer-reviewed) facts:

CLAIM: “Not a single publicly funded CPC [crisis pregnancy center] in PA provides prenatal care in PA. In fact, they are not even staffed by medical personnel.” [1] Melissa Reed, President/CEO, Planned Parenthood Keystone
Our professional medical team includes:
- Dr. Tony Mastropietro
Medical Director - Dr. Timothy Boley
Maternal & Fetal Medicine - Linda Sydorko, RN
- Lea Brenneman, RDMS
- Tara Love, RDMS
- Emily Noll, LPN




CLAIM: "There is no medical evidence to support the assertion a medication abortion can be 'reversed' [...]." [3]
Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) is a newer application of a low risk treatment used for decades to prevent miscarriage, commonly caused by low progesterone levels in the mother. APR involves prescribing progesterone, the natural hormone in a woman’s body that sustains pregnancy, to counter the effects of mifepristone. If a pregnant mom regrets starting a chemical abortion and acts quickly after taking mifepristone, but before taking the misoprostol, she may be able to save her child.
A 2018 peer-reviewed study showed evidence that the treatment successfully saved the pregnancy in 64%-68% of cases. The study also showed there was no increase in birth defects with the APR treatment and there was a lower preterm delivery rate than in the general population. To date, more than 2,000 healthy babies have been born after APR. [4]




CLAIM: “Approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 2000, non-invasive medication abortion is safe by all measures —safer than Tylenol and Viagra, even.” [5] Cecile Richards, former president of Planned Parenthood
According to the Mifeprex medication guide, it is expected that a woman will experience severe cramping and heavy bleeding to expel the baby after taking the abortion pill. This shows that the “treatment is working.” Other common side effects include nausea, weakness, fever/chills, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. [7] Comparing this procedure to taking Tylenol gives the false illusion of simplicity without the possibility of physical complications.
