When Jessica Williams became pregnant with another man’s child while she and her husband were separated, her husband pressured her to abort the child.
As soon as she took the first abortion pill, mifepristone, she regretted it.
“As a nurse, the reality of what I had done had hit me hard,” said Williams, who was nine weeks pregnant at the time. “Here I was working to save lives and about to take one of my own child’s lives.”
But as a nurse, Williams knew that in spite of the pill cutting off the progesterone supply to her child, the baby might still be alive. She hadn’t yet taken the second pill, misoprostol, which would expel the child from her body.
When she found a pregnancy center, First Choice Pregnancy Services in Las Vegas, staff immediately brought her in for an ultrasound.
“They provided a free ultrasound, and that moment changed everything,” she said.
Her baby was still alive.
First Choice helped her through the abortion pill reversal process, a practice to reverse the effects of mifepristone soon after the woman takes the first abortion pill.
