FYI: The morning after pill and RU486 are two different drugs. The morning after pill is basically a higher dose of birth control pills. Some private physicians will tell their patients to take X number of regular birth control pills to achieve the same effect.

The morning after pill causes increased chemical changes in the uterus so as to make it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant. Sometimes it does anyway. To my knowledge, it cannot cause an implanted egg to abort, but I could be wrong on that. RU486 creates a chemical abortion of an implanted egg. It must be taken within a certain number of weeks after conception to be effective.

Thank you for the clarification. Regarding the higher dose of birth control pills, it definitely prevents a fertilized embryo from implanting, which is an abortion. It also CAN cause an implanted embryo from being expelled. There can also be other major side effects of the hormones on the woman, and on a baby who ISN'T "expelled".
