If you’re like me, you love getting good news about pro-life victories. So here’s some good news: A judge in Colorado has issued a permanent injunction against a bogus Colorado law which prohibited faith-based health centers from offering Abortion Pill Reversal to mothers who immediately regretted taking the abortion pill.

Before we go any further, let me give a brief reminder of what Abortion Pill Reversal, or APR, is: 

Unlike surgical abortions, the deadly Chemical Abortion Pill method usually takes days and multiple pills to complete. This means that when a mom has second thoughts about her baby after starting the abortion pill process, there is a possibility of pressing a metaphorical “emergency stop” button on the abortion if she acts quickly after taking the first drug. 

The job of the first drug, mifepristone, is to cut off the maternal hormone progesterone, which tells the mother’s body to sustain her pregnancy. Without progesterone, her baby is starved of nutrients and dies.

The “emergency stop” button is the APR protocol. Any woman regretting her decision to take the abortion pill can contact the Abortion Pill Reversal helpline at 1-877-558-0333 to be connected with a local pro-life health care provider who specializes in APR.

The provider will administer extra progesterone to the mom to compete with the progesterone blocker (mifepristone) she just took. If she gets enough progesterone into her body in time, this can counteract mifepristone and save her baby’s life. 

In Colorado, the state tried to outlaw APR.

Thankfully, pro-lifers sued. The case, Bella Health + Wellness v. Weiser, was brought by a pro-life health clinic that offers APR. Catholic News Agency explains the back-story:

Colorado in 2023 banned abortion pill reversal alleging that it constitutes a “deceptive trade practice.” That same year the nurses sued the state over the ban, arguing that it impeded their religious beliefs and those of their clients.

Domenico in October 2023 issued a temporary block on the state’s ban. His ruling on Friday made the ban permanent.

It is “not disputed that by effectively prohibiting them from using a particular treatment for pregnant women, this law burdened [the nurses’] sincerely held religious beliefs,” the judge wrote in part.

And “while the clinical efficacy of abortion pill reversal remains debatable, nobody has been injured by the treatment and a number of women have successfully given birth after receiving it,” he said.

The state failed to show it had “a compelling interest in regulating this practice,” he ruled in making the injunction permanent.

Other providers may still have to contend with the state’s ban on APR, but Judge Domenico’s common-sense ruling bodes well for the future of the treatment in Colorado and elsewhere. After the ruling, Bella Health + Wellness issued the following statement on social media:

Today we celebrate a historic first in our nation’s history: A federal judge has ruled in favor of abortion pill reversal, protecting Bella Health + Wellness from Colorado’s unjust attempt to stop us from offering compassionate, life-affirming care.

This is more than a win: It is a decisive, crushing victory. Colorado appears too nervous to even appeal, unwilling to face the truth and solidness of this case in the appellate court. Their silence speaks volumes: Truth and life have prevailed.

Since October 2023, when the law was temporarily blocked, Bella has helped women continue their pregnancies, welcoming 16 babies (and counting!) into the world. We’ve seen their faces, heard their heartbeats, and held their tiny hands … all while supporting their courageous mamas.

Let’s recognize the reality here: Abortion radicals in Colorado would prefer that those 16 babies not exist. They would prefer that all the future babies Bella and other centers will rescue in Colorado never exist. 

And it’s worse than that. 

They don’t just prefer that these babies not exist – they would prefer that they had been starved to death and expelled into the toilet. They would prefer that their traumatized mothers had come face to face with the reality of “choice” alone in a bathroom.

But these insane, diabolical abortion ghouls didn’t win in Colorado this time. And hopefully the judge’s ruling serves as a warning to abortion radicals nationwide who would seek to stand between moms and their right to try to save their children after realizing their horrible mistake of taking mifepristone.
