New York attorney general sues facilities promoting ‘abortion pill reversal’

Heartbeat International, affiliated with more than 2,000 facilities, aims to convince people to continue their pregnancies

The organization behind an international network of anti-abortion facilities is misleading people with claims that abortions can be reversed", a lawsuit filed Monday by Letitia James, the New York attorney general, alleges.

The organization, Heartbeat International, is affiliated with more than 2,000 facilities that aim to convince people to continue their pregnancies. In recent years, many such centers, which are often Christian and sometimes known as crisis pregnancy centers, have started to promote a controversial practice known as abortion pill reversal", which claims that people can halt a medication abortion midway through.
