'''Heartbeat International''' is a [[Pro-Life]] charity which offers a pregnancy help group, and network of [[pregnancy resource center]]s, and their Abortion Pill Rescue Network. It was founded in 1971 based on [[Christian]] principles and ideals. In 2003, they established their Option Line, which was the only fully staffed, bilingual pro-life contact center in the U.S. Since then, it has helped more than 3.75 million women and men. Each day, it is contacted more than 1,100 times by people seeking help. They also help mothers who have recently taken an abortion pill, but are now regretting that choice. This Abortion Pill Rescue Network is contacted over 150 times each month, and helps direct mothers to doctors who are able to administer the Abortion Pill Reversal protocol. More than one third of abortions in the U.S. are performed chemically.<ref>https://www.guttmacher.org/evidence-you-can-use/medication-abortion</ref> Sometimes pregnant mothers come to regret taking this course of action, but fortunately, there is about a 72-hour period after taking the pill, during which time this can be reversed.
