The decision by General Medical Council (GMC) in the UK to drop all sanctions against an Irish born doctor for successfully prescribing abortion pill reversal treatments, opens the possibility for the life-saving procedures to resume again very soon, according to the Pro-Life Campaign.

As a result of the complaint lodged with the GMC by pro-abortion group Marie Stopes, Dr Dermot Kearney has been prevented for the past 18 months from helping women who regretted taking the first abortion pill and who desperately wanted to try and save their baby.

Before the ban was imposed, Dr Kearney, who is an NHS consultant cardiologist, and consultant obstetrician Dr Eileen Reilly, were together responsible for saving 32 babies from certain death from abortion after they assisted mothers who requested help after taking the abortion pill.

Abortion Pill Reversal treatment involves prescribing the hormone progesterone to women. It has been shown to dramatically increase the chances of the baby surviving the effects of the first abortion pill. During a medical abortion, two pills are taken separately to induce the abortion.
