Pro-life speaker Sarah Hurm offered her testimony about facing her fourth unplanned pregnancy at a March for Life rally on the National Mall on Jan. 23.

“I am hear to tell you that abortion pill reversal can work. My life, and the life of my son, is living proof,” Hurm, who is a Catholic single mother of four, said at the rally.

Hurm described seeking an abortion. “The clinic had felt lifeless,” she said. After taking the abortion pill, she changed her mind and found the abortion pill reversal ministry.

“I realized ... I could fight for my child’s life. And so I did,” she said.

Abortion pill reversal (APR) is recommended or dispensed by pro-life pregnancy centers to prevent the completion of an abortion shortly after a woman takes mifepristone to achieve a chemical abortion. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) does not recommend the use of APR, citing insufficient evidence. Alternatively, the American Association of Pro-Life OB-GYNs (AAPLOG) states the literature “clearly shows that the blockade is reversible with natural progesterone.”

Describing her son’s life as “one of the greatest joys,” Hurm encouraged participants to be intentional in helping women who are expecting.

“Saving a life can be as simple as answering a phone call, driving a friend to an ultrasound, or helping pick out a car seat,” Hurm said. “Small sacrifices can become enormous victories that support moms like me and children like mine. You have that power. Be that person that connects a woman to hope.”

Hurm further thanked the men in attendance at the March, saying: “Your voice carries weight, and we need you.”

“Join me in making a commitment of being living proof that life is a gift,” she concluded.
