Whats the difference between EC and medication abortion (also known as the abortion pill or RU-486)?
EC can prevent you from getting pregnant.EC CAN NOT terminate an existing pregnancy, one that has already implanted in your uterine lining. Why bother with EC if I can just take the abortion pill later? Both EC and medication abortion are extremely safe, but they have different purposes and different effects on your body. EC prevents pregnancy, while medication abortion terminates pregnancy.
