Dr. George Delgado is the medical director of Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) and of Culture of Life Family Health Care.
Dr. Delgado published the first peer-reviewed article in the medical literature describing the reversal of mifepristone (RU 486) using progesterone. He then established Abortion Pill Reversal, a program that connects women who have changed their minds after taking mifepristone (RU 486) and want to reverse the effects of the abortion pill. APR also seeks to refine and improve the treatment protocols for reversing mifepristone.
His book Abortion Pill Reversal: A Second Chance at Choice is available through Ignatius Press.
