Often, a woman who takes the abortion pill is uncertain about her decision. From the moment she swallows the first dose, she wrestles with doubt: “What am I doing? Is this going to hurt? What if the bleeding doesn’t stop?”
Tamara’s situation was complicated. She already had a ten-year-old son and lived with her parents outside the city when she became pregnant again.
The day after taking the first abortion pill, she arrived at a CompassCare office consumed by fear and uncertainty. “Do you do the abortion pill reversal?” she asked.
A compassionate nurse met with her, offering comfort and hope. An ultrasound revealed a viable baby. So Tamara began the intensive abortion pill reversal regimen of progesterone—a hormone a pregnant woman’s body naturally makes to sustain the baby.
The nurse maintained daily contact with Tamara. On the third day, fear and doubt returned, and Tamara considered taking the second abortion pill! But her CompassCare nurse responded with grace. She shared Gospel truths: both Tamara and her baby are created in God’s image, fearfully and wonderfully made, and infinitely valuable.
Tamara did not take the second chemical abortion dose, returning for two follow-up appointments. CompassCare connected her with a pro-life obstetrician near her home for ongoing prenatal care.
Just last week, Tamara texted the CompassCare nurse photos from her hospital bed—images of her beautiful, healthy baby. “I just had to tell you the good news! I’m so thankful for CompassCare!”
Stories like Tamara’s are common in CompassCare’s medical offices in the heart of America’s abortion capital. And because of the lifesaving support of people like you, a woman considering abortion has an ethical alternative to abortion, saving both her and her preborn baby from abortion. On behalf of Tamara and her baby, thank you!
