How should we discuss “abortion reversal” with our patients (when practicing in states where it is legally required)?

okay actually this is a trick question… because I can’t tell you to break the laws in whatever state you’re practicing in…

But just KNOW that “abortion reversal” is dangerous, no good evidence to support it.

So-called abortion “reversal” procedures are unproven and unethical.
