Doctors in at least a dozen countries, supported by US Christian Right activists, are providing women with a "dangerous" and controversial treatment that claims to "reverse" medical abortions, openDemocracy can reveal today.

openDemocracy undercover reporters on four continents contacted a hotline run by US Christian Right activists and were connected to doctors willing to prescribe so-called 'abortion pill reversal' by phone or email. Where hotline operators could not make connections to local doctors, they emailed reporters dosage instructions.
