For those seeking to reverse the effects of the abortion pill (also known as a chemical abortion or a medical abortion), the goal is to start the protocol within 24 hours of taking the first abortion pill, mifepristone, or RU-486. However, there have been many successful reversals when treatment was started within 72 hours of taking the first abortion pill.

Perinatal Hospice
As prenatal testing becomes increasingly routine, more parents are learning devastating news before their babies are born. In too many places, the ability to diagnose has raced ahead of the ability to care for these families and their babies. But in a beautiful and practical response, more than 300 pioneering hospitals, hospices, and community-based organizations in the U.S. and around the world are now providing perinatal hospice & palliative care support for families who wish to continue their pregnancies with babies who likely will die before or shortly after birth.
There are 3 programs located in Colorado:
Bella Natural Women's Care, String of Pearls, and Hospice de Valle.
