A vulnerable woman has told the General Medical Council she felt ‘scared and pressured’ when the medical director of a major abortion provider quizzed her about ‘abortion reversal’ treatment she received from a pro-life doctor.
The woman, a mother in her 40s, sought help from NHS consultant Dr Dermot Kearney after she started a ‘pills by post’ abortion, but then changed her mind.
Dr Kearney prescribed the sex hormone progesterone, which some doctors believe can reverse the effects of the first abortion pill, called mifepristone, if taken soon afterwards.
MSI has claimed Dr Kearney, pictured, inappropriately prescribed progesterone for a use which has ‘no evidence base’ behind it, acted outside his clinical competence, and imposed his anti-abortion beliefs on patients
