California Attorney General Takes Legal Action Against Anti-Abortion Groups Over Controversial Abortion Reversal Claims

California Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed a lawsuit against crisis pregnancy centers Heartbeat International (HBI) and RealOptions, accusing them of making fraudulent and misleading claims about a procedure they call "abortion pill reversal." The organizations allegedly promote the idea that the effects of mifepristone, a medication used for induced abortions, can be reversed through high doses of progesterone. Bonta argues that there is no evidence supporting the effectiveness or safety of this protocol. The lawsuit seeks to halt the promotion of these procedures and impose fines for violating business codes.
