The Difference Between Emergency Contraception and Early Abortion Options (RU 486)

Excerpt from the full fact sheet:

The line between contraception and abortion is often blurred, intentionally and unintentionally, in the course of policy discussions on emergency contraception (also known as the "morning-after" pill) and the early-abortion option mifepristone (also known as RU 486).  The distinction between the two is important, especially since anti-choice lawmakers are trying to restrict women's access to these and other reproductive-health services. Emergency contraception prevents a pregnancy after sex whereas mifepristone terminates a pregnancy.
