law<\/a> that Gov. Jared Polis signed in April 2023 deems abortion pill reversal to be a \u201cdangerous and deceptive practice\u201d unsupported by science or clinical standards, citing the pro-abortion American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnder the law\u2019s provisions, medical professionals are prohibited from discussing, offering, or providing chemical abortion reversal services to women who change their minds after taking an abortion pill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The law also states that providing the service to be \u201cunprofessional conduct\u201d and is grounds for discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A judge temporarily blocked the statute\u2019s enforcement in October 2023 in light of a lawsuit brought by pro-life medical clinic Bella Health and Wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just two months later, Greene learned she was pregnant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m just so frustrated that Colorado law is \u2026 prohibiting women in my circumstance from receiving this lifesaving care for their unborn children,\u201d Greene said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She noted that in some cases, progesterone is prescribed to support the pregnancies of women with a history of miscarriages, yet lawmakers have not outlawed that treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBoth groups of women are just wanting healthy pregnancies,\u201d she said. \u201cBoth groups of women want their pregnancies, but only one of them is getting the lifesaving treatment for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High Stakes Lawsuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Mynyk, who is also a certified nurse midwife, runs Castle Rock Women\u2019s Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her practice focuses on helping women through their pregnancies by providing them with life-affirming care, including abortion pill reversal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chemical abortions, Mynyk noted, are not without health risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWomen are allowed to access the abortion pill without any interaction with a medical professional,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd statistically, there\u2019s roughly one in 25 women who will end up in the emergency room from a complication. That is way too many.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Two such cases in Georgia were recently thrust into the spotlight when ProPublica reported the deaths of Amber Nicole Thurman, 28, and Candi Miller, 41, due to complications from chemical abortions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mynyk said her job as a nurse is to save the lives of women and their babies. But her ability to do so has been called into question amid the passage of Colorado\u2019s new law.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMackenna Greene holds her baby girl after successfully reversing a chemical abortion in Colorado in August 2024. Courtesy of Alliance Defending Freedom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn January, she received an anonymous complaint against her license for offering abortion pill reversal, prompting the Colorado Board of Nursing to launch an investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf the law is upheld \u2026 I could lose my medical license, and I could be exposed to hefty fines of up to $20,000 per violation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why Mynyk joined Bella Health\u2019s lawsuit\u2014to challenge what she sees as an unlawful attempt to silence her and other medical professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon receiving the complaint, she immediately reached out to the nonprofit Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) to find out if she had a case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ADF senior counsel Kevin Theriot, who is representing Mynyk in court, said his organization was eager to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs a religious liberties organization, we want to make sure that medical professionals like Chelsea are free to practice their faith through their work and to help save lives,\u201d Theriot said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBecause the bottom line is \u2026 women regret their abortions\u2014many of them do. And this is a way to avoid ongoing regret and to save the baby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that saving as many babies as possible is \u201cpriority No. 1\u201d for ADF, which has argued many cases on behalf of pro-life clients, including the U.S. Supreme Court\u2019s landmark Dobbs decision that overturned the federal right to abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As far as Mynyk\u2019s case is concerned, Theriot is hopeful for another victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, Mynyk intends to continue providing abortion pill reversals to women looking to undo chemical abortions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Greene, thankful to be a new mom, said she is determined to share her story to let other women know that the process does work. She is also urging others to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTo women that have taken the pill, or have taken the abortion pill reversal, what I would love to say to them is \u2026 stand up for those women who come after you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
