Is this the drug they were trying to get from perscription to over-the-counter?

"Is this the drug they were trying to get from perscription (sic) to over-the-counter?"

No. The morning after pill is a higher dosage of regular birth control pills, and does not work on a pregnancy that is already established. RU-486 is mifepristol, which is used on established pregnancies up to the eighth week.

It's good of you to ask, since people on these boards seem to have strong opinions on the two drugs, at the same time that they confuse them.
