PRESIDENT'S CORNER - OCToBER 2020

Did you know PDHC’s four locations are the only Pregnancy Resource Centers in the Columbus and Lancaster area providing Abortion Pill Reversal Services?  

It is important that PDHC continues to adapt and grow its services as the abortion industry changes and evolves.  Surgical abortions are on the decline. However, chemical abortions through the abortion pill continue to rise and represent 40% of the abortions in the United States today. PDHC grew its services and joined the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, operated by Heartbeat International, at the end of 2019. This network connects women who have taken the first dose of the abortion pill with a provider in her area who is trained to administer the abortion pill reversal protocol.  
​
When a woman begins a chemical abortion but changes her mind and wants a second chance to save her baby, she has about 72 hours to reverse her decision through abortion pill reversal. Often her regret is immediate or soon after taking the first abortion pill that is part of a two-drug protocol. She starts searching online for options. She will find PDHC through the Abortion Pill Rescue Network or through PDHC’s website and 24/7 hotline. PDHC’s trained staff stands ready to help during this critical time and will immediately get her into the nearest center.   

Together, we celebrate our first baby born into the PDHC family after his mom came to PDHC for abortion pill reversal services. Both mom and baby are doing well. We eagerly await the upcoming births of other women who came to PDHC this year for help to reverse their chemical abortions.  

It is important to know that not all abortion pill reversals are successful. Sometimes a woman may choose to continue her chemical abortion and afterward, struggle emotionally.  At PDHC, we continue to walk alongside them and offer abortion recovery programs to provide hope and healing.  

Sometimes, a woman may suffer the loss of her baby due to miscarriage. PDHC has now expanded our pregnancy loss services and provides special gifts of remembrance and connects her to pregnancy loss ministries in the community. 

Most people do not know that abortion pill reversal services are available. 9 out of 10 women who have experienced abortion don’t know where to go for support and healing. At PDHC, we can help and you make it possible. Help us spread the word.  
Blessings,
