News to me. I thought the after-pill was NOT available? What was the approved drug you are talking about called, and who produced it?
Several years ago he was telling me that as a standard part of the medical examination, the victim is offered a pill that was essentially a large dose of what's in a standard birth control pill. This would prevent pregnancy, but in there rare case that there actually was fertilization, it would abort the pregnancy. My understanding is that it had to be done soon after the rape, a day or two at the most, or it might not work.
For at least the last twenty years, doctors have advised their patients to double or triple up on oral contraceptives in case of unprotected pregnancy. That's all this is, and it's been around for a long time.
