Patients first take a pill called mifepristone, which blocks the body’s progesterone, a hormone needed for pregnancy. Within the next 48 hours, patients take a second medication, called misoprostol. The abortion “reversal” pill is taken after women have taken the drug mifepristone but before they have taken misoprostol. The reversal is a high dose of the hormone progesterone in an attempt to counteract the effects of the mifepristone and preserve the pregnancy.

So they would directly go against the patient's wishes? Of course that's unethical.

after you take the mifepristone the embryo is no longer alive. you start your period maybe a couple hours after taking the pill. all the second bottle does is force it out. i would be weary of a drug that says it can reverse any kind of affect that the mifepristone had on the embryo.

Suffering and cruelty really is the point isn't it?

taking progesterone orally doesn't make any sense -- progesterone is metabolized very strongly by the liver. all of the progesterone taken this way will be converted into metabolites within hours of ingestion. there is no way this pill is supported by the science.
