They target second-trimester abortions, which are two- or three-day procedures.
The Chicago Tribune reports Resurrection now has a policy in which women who show up at the emergency room wanting to reverse their second-trimester abortions will receive immediate treatment.
Abortion providers warn women about the risks of stopping abortions and continuing their pregnancies, but they are often told they can change their minds.
