The abortion pill refers to a medication used to induce abortion within the first two months of a woman's pregnancy. Significant controversy exists as to whether the abortion pill is ethical, but it is still a legal option for women not wanting to go to term with their pregnancy. Frequently, it is considered more therapeutic for the patient because it can be used at home, does not involve invasive surgical processes, and is less psychologically disturbing in general.

Abortion Pill vs. Emergency Contraception
An abortifacient is a medicine used to cause the body to terminate a pregnancy, and the abortion pill falls into this category. 'Emergency contraception' refers specifically to medicines used to prevent the body from allowing a pregnancy to begin. Population Council: Emergency Contraception's Mode Of Action Clarified The distinction is important because emergency contraception prevents a fertilized cell from beginning a growth process, whereas an abortifacient such as the abortion pill can cause a several-week-old fetus to be terminated by the body.
