In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I sit down with Dr. George Delgado, a family physician and one of the pioneers of abortion pill reversal (APR), to talk about the science, the stories, and the hope behind a medical protocol that gives women a second chance after beginning a chemical abortion.

Dr. Delgado is the founder of the Abortion Pill Reversal Network and the author of Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Choice. As chemical abortions now account for the majority of abortions in the United States, APR has become an increasingly urgent and misunderstood topic. This conversation walks through what APR actually is, how it works medically, why it is opposed by powerful institutions, and what’s at stake for women and children.

Most importantly, this episode centers the human reality: women who regret their decision, reach out for help, and discover that it is not too late.

In This Episode, We Discuss

  • What a chemical (medication) abortion is and how it works
  • The role of progesterone in sustaining pregnancy
  • How abortion pill reversal works medically and why it makes sense biologically
  • Why regret often sets in immediately after taking the first abortion pill
  • Common misconceptions about APR and what the peer-reviewed evidence actually shows
  • Claims that APR is “unproven” or “dangerous” and how the data responds
  • The growing risks of telehealth and mail-order abortions
  • Why abortion pill reversal threatens the abortion industry’s narrative
  • How APR can be a redemptive turning point in a woman’s life
  • Why APR may be the “tip of the spear” in the pro-life movement today
  • What needs to change in medicine, policy, and public awareness going forward

About the Guest

Dr. George Delgado is a family physician based in California and one of the earliest doctors to develop and study abortion pill reversal. He has published multiple peer-reviewed studies on APR and founded the Steno Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to education, awareness, and research around abortion pill reversal. The Institute is named after Blessed Nicholas Steno, a physician and Catholic convert.
