Wisconsin GOP state Rep. Amy Binsfeld endorsed pregnancy center that promotes discredited abortion reversal treatment

A Facebook post from last December shows Wisconsin state Rep. Amy Binsfeld (R-Sheboygan) supporting Anchor of Hope Health Center, a crisis pregnancy center in Sheboygan that promotes experimental and discredited abortion-reversal treatments.

The post shows Binsfeld present while staff from Anchor of Hope accepted a $3,600 check from Choose Life Wisconsin, an anti-abortion organization that assists pregnancy resource centers.

Although Anchor of Hope claims to provide “truly unbiased information,” the center’s website claims that patients may be able to stop the effects of taking abortion pills and refers visitors to abortionpillreversal.com.

There are no scientifically proven ways to “reverse” medication abortions. The process of abortion pill reversal is highly contested by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists for its lack of ethical research and dangers to women’s health. In 2020, a clinical trial studying the attempts to reverse the effects of mifepristone had to be stopped after three women had to receive emergency room care from profuse bleeding.
