My Grandfather had the best advice of all, which was:

"Keep your future in your pants."

The so-called 'morning after pill' (RU-486, whatever) is not proven completely safe anyway, and after a spate of exploding wombs, internal hemorrhage and death, this ill-advised approach to 'reproductive health' may be revisited.

But I'm not holding my breath.

RU486 and the "morning after" pill are not the same. Not even close. Please do some research when you have time to learn more.

How odd? I hadn't heard about any of this.

Actually, as another poster pointed out to me recently, even standard birth control can cause an abortion.

According to this link (there are more links available):

"How do these pills work? They basically have three effects. The first effect is the thickening of the mucous plug at the opening of the cervix, the mouth of the womb. This provides something of a natural barrier to the passage of sperm into the womb. This is a contraceptive function, as it prevents the union of sperm and egg.

There’s a second effect, which usually is the primary effect, and that is the suppression of ovulation. A projected ovulation is simply blocked and does not occur. The sperm may well be deposited in her female tract; they may swim through her tubes and out to the ovaries, but if there is no egg to fertilize, then we have a primary effect, an action technically called “temporary sterilization”—or, in more common, but less accurate language, “contraception.”

There is a third effect of the contraceptive pill. This effect is on the lining of the womb. What this does is to harden the lining of the womb—we say, make it hostile to implantation to this one-week-old embryo. If this is the function that prevents “pregnancy” that month, then it is implantation that is prevented. And this implantation, if prevented, kills a tiny one-week-old baby."

"A spate of exploding wombs"

Wow, you'd think that would be on the news every night, women with their own built-in IEDs. Hope you're not standing next to a woman on the subway when THAT happens.
