SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California Attorney General Rob Bonta has sued an anti-abortion group and a chain of anti-abortion counseling centers, saying the organizations misled women when they offered unproven treatments to reverse medication abortions. The lawsuit says Heartbeat International, a national anti-abortion group, and RealOptions Obria, which has five anti-abortion counseling centers in Northern California, used “fraudulent and misleading claims” to advertise a procedure called abortion pill reversal. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says such treatments are unproven and have no scientific backing. Heartbeat International said it learned about the lawsuit through interview requests and had not been served. RealOptions did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
