42. How to hold on to your Christian beliefs, despite opposition to pro-life beliefs: The Battle over Abortion Pill Reversal - Dr. Dermot Kearney of the UK tells his story

Send us Fan Mail Christian doctor Dermot Kearney shares his harrowing experience of being targeted by abortion providers and medical authorities for offering Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) treatment to women who changed their minds after taking the first abortion pill (mifepristone). His case highlights the intersection of religious discrimination and medical freedom in healthcare. • Dr. Kearney and colleague Dr. Eileen Riley were investigated by the General Medical Council for providing progesterone treatment to women who regretted taking the abortion pill • The complaint specifically cited their Catholic faith, claiming Catholics "could not be trusted" to provide appropriate care • Abortion pill reversal has a 55% success rate when progesterone is administered promptly after taking mifepristone • At least 62 UK babies have been born following successful abortion pill reversal treatment • After fighting the case with legal support from Christian Concern, all charges were dropped when the GMC admitted they had no evidence of misconduct • During COVID, UK abortion practices shifted to "pills by post" with minimal medical supervision and follow-up • UK abortion providers receive substantial payment per abortion with minimal overhead for mail-delivery abortions • 98% of UK abortions are performed under mental health grounds despite no evidence that abortion improves mental health • Women seeking abortions receive no mental health evaluation before being approved for the procedure Support the show To reach Veil + Armour, please visit: https://veilandarmour.com https://www.youtube.com/@veilandarmour https://www.x.com/@sheilanonato https://www.sheilanonato.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/@veilandarmour What resonated with you the most about this episode?
