Fort Worth Pregnancy Center reverses chemical abortion, helps desperate mom

A 2-year-old in Texas nearly lost his life before birth from a chemical abortion, but a pregnancy resource center saved him after his mom called for help.

After discovering she was pregnant, Tania (name changed for privacy) contacted an abortion fund which covered her travel, hotel, and chemical abortion pill expenses, Texas Right to Life (TRL) reported. Employees at the abortion fund performed a sonogram but did not show it to her. They administered the first pill of the chemical abortion and instructed her to take the second pill after traveling home.

During her trip home, Tania became fearful and regretted her abortion decision, so she called the Fort Worth Pregnancy Center, where she had visited a year prior.

“I hadn’t spoken to her in almost a year,” Development Director Jamie Bryant told TRL. “Obviously, our services and our care for her made an impression because when she was overcome with sadness and regret and wanted someone to talk to, she called us.” 

Employees at the pregnancy center also performed a sonogram, showing Tania the screen of her healthy baby, about 10.5 weeks old. The child’s age revealed further danger to Tania because of the FDA legal limitation of 10 weeks for a chemical abortion. Some abortion providers ignore the limit and continue prescribing chemical abortions after the legal window, TRL reported. Recent data from the Ethics and Public Policy Center reveals the risks of chemical abortions are 22 times higher than what the FDA and labels report. 

The pregnancy center gave Tania a progesterone treatment to counteract the first abortion pill. This counteraction saved her son, named Michael, TRL reported. 

“We serve a God of second chances. It’s never too late for redemption. God can take your biggest mistakes and use them for his purposes,” Bryant said. 

Despite Texas’ anti-abortion policies, many abortion funds rely on taxpayer dollars to cover travel and medical expenses. On April 3, the San Antonio City Council designated $100,000 in taxpayer funds from the city’s 2025 budget to support abortion travel, according to TRL. 

“The City of San Antonio is blatantly defying Texas law by using taxpayer dollars to fund abortion tourism,” Attorney General Ken Paxton told TRL. “Beyond being an egregious misuse of public funds, it’s an attack on the pro-life values of our state. I will not stand by while rogue cities use tax dollars to circumvent state law and take the innocent lives of unborn children.” 

The Stop Tax-Funded Abortion Travel Act will allow citizens to sue companies and organizations who use taxpayer money to fund abortions. The Woman and Child Protection Act would block Texas cities from giving tax money to abortion assistance organizations, TRL reported.  

Proponents say these laws would protect women like Tania from dangerous situations where abortion facilities disregard her safety for the sake of disposing of her child.
