The Abortion Pill Rescue Network (APRN) has saved 6,000 babies since its founding in 2008, according to a November 20 press release from Heartbeat International.
Founded by Dr. George Delgado, APRN has been managed by Heartbeat International since 2018. The network has a 24/7 hotline that connects women in 93 countries with providers who can help reverse their chemical abortions. Women who have taken mifepristone, the first pill in a chemical abortion procedure, can reverse the abortion by taking progesterone.
Progesterone is naturally produced by a woman’s body, and has been used safely during pregnancy since the 1950s. It is also used to prevent miscarriages in women with a history of pregnancy loss.
Heartbeat International’s website states that studies have shown that 64-68% of women who take progesterone after mifepristone are able to save their pregnancies, and their babies have no increase in birth defects and a lower premature delivery rate than the general population.

“Today we celebrate 6,000 children, all made perfectly in the image of our God!” said Christa Brown, the senior director of Medical Impact for Heartbeat International. “Imagine what our world would have lost if just one of them were not here.
“We are thankful for each of them and their brave mothers who, at one point, felt there was no other way and sadly started an abortion. Quickly, with deep regret, they realized the value of the life they carried and wanted a new plan — and the APRN was there to help.”
Abortion activists and certain politicians have attempted to take legal action against Heartbeat International to prevent them from helping women who regret their abortions, despite the proven safety and effectiveness of progesterone.
“Each life is precious and filled with promise and potential that, if not for the expedient work of the APRN, might not have had that second chance,” said Jor-El Godsey, president of Heartbeat International. “What a joy to celebrate this milestone of so many lives saved that they would overflow a concert hall!”
