“If, when confronted with actions as egregious as Ms. Halligan’s, a state bar, which allegedly polices the conduct of its members, claims it can do nothing more than reiterate the findings of a court, what purpose does it serve?” CfA’s Michelle Kuppersmith said of the Virginia Bar response.

It was also before it was revealed that Halligan didn’t even present the final, signed Comey indictment to the full grand jury—a lapse that the defense says completely invalidates the entire prosecution. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
Comey case hanging by a thread as judge squeezes DOJ over Halligan’s handling
The judge also appeared puzzled after a lead prosecutor said he couldn’t reveal whether career attorneys initially recommended against charging the former FBI director.

The bar’s letter, dated November 14th, was three days *before* Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick issued a ruling in the Comey case raising concerns around “government misconduct,” saying Halligan had made “fundamental misstatements of the law.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Bar said whether Halligan lied or acted for political purposes is for "the court to determine and not this office. If the court determines that Ms. Halligan made false statements to the court and sanctions her for the conduct, the Virginia Bar can initiate an investigation."

If this test is indeed emblematic of a larger flaw in AI’s ability to side with the science when an opposing voice is producing a far greater *quantity* of content, this issue may have implications that extend far beyond abortion.

AI Chatbots Point Women to Unproven and Unethical “Abortion Pill Reversal."
Experts agree "abortion pill reversal" is unproven and potentially dangerous. But a report shows AI sending searchers to a "helpline" promoting its use.

Experts say LLMs—which are often “trained on large datasets of text, often scraped from the Internet”—are more likely to advance false information when a topic’s “training data [is] filled with ‘false statements […] or other texts that are not factual or concerned with truth.”

Although other studies have shown mixed results on AI’s ability to deliver “acceptable” responses to abortion questions, the answers to CfA’s questions on “abortion pill reversal” fall dangerously short. The likely reason? AI may be preferencing quantity of info over quality.

Some also improperly positioned the controversy around “abortion pill reversal” as an equally-weighted disagreement between two sides of the medical community—omitting the fact that only one is backed by science.

The AI responses to CfA’s test queries also advanced several anti-abortion talking points and mistruths, including that abortion providers may not offer women a choice in how to proceed, and that science-following doctors may simply lack “expertise” around “abortion pill reversal."

When CfA tested to see how ChatGPT, Google, Meta AI, Grok, and Perplexity would direct women asking about their options after taking mifepristone, all, in at least one search, gave out the biased "helpline." In 50% of all responses, it was the *only* phone number provided.

Yet, avowed anti-abortion organization Heartbeat International operates an “Abortion Pill Reversal Helpline,” which researchers say uses “coercive, antiabortion messaging […] to transmit misinformation about the possibility and evidence behind reversal.”

Given the lack of evidence and the potential for harm, trusted medical entities like the American Medical Association, the American College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians, Planned Parenthood, and more, all advise that “abortion pill reversal” should not be promoted.

More than that, the first time the “reversal” theory was tested in a study with scientifically-accepted standards, the trial had to be halted early for safety after some women experienced serious complications.

Promoters of “reversal” claim that if a woman has taken mifepristone (the first drug involved in a medication abortion), but not misoprostol (the second), taking a high dose of progesterone may raise the odds of the pregnancy continuing.
Yet, no good evidence supports this.

Abortion regret is very rare. In one survey, 95% of women asked 5 years later said their abortion was right for them. Yet, anti-abortion groups use the widespread promotion of “abortion pill reversal” to exaggerate its likelihood—aiming to scare women away from abortion altogether.
