California Attorney General Rob Bonta’s lawsuit charges a crisis pregnancy center with falsely advertising “abortion pill reversal”.
“Those who are struggling with the complex decision to get an abortion deserve support and trustworthy guidance—not lies and misinformation,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta.
“Heartbeat International and RealOptions took advantage of pregnant patients at a deeply vulnerable time in their lives, using false and misleading claims to lure them in and mislead them about a potentially risky procedure. We are launching today’s lawsuit to put a stop to their predatory and unlawful behavior.
Many CPCs cite a “case series” by Delgado and Mary Davenport, a California physician and current medical director of two RealOptions CPCs, as evidence of the safety and efficacy of APR, that claims “68 percent of pregnancies treated with oral progesterone were saved.” This “case series” has been roundlyUse of mifepristone in pregnant patients is approved by the U.S. Federal Drug Administration only when followed by misoprostol 24-48 hours later.
CPCs operate under the guise of helping people navigate pregnancy … In reality they spread anti-abortion misinformation and offer fraudulent services that threaten acute harm to the already vulnerable people they claim to support.
“The California Women’s Law Center applauds our Attorney General, Rob Bonta, for this groundbreaking lawsuit against an anti-abortion group and their chain of crisis pregnancy centers for their deceptive marketing of APR,” Butler continued. “It is about time crisis pregnancy centers are held to account for promoting this dangerous, unethical practice.
