As I understand it, once the embryo has reached the fetal stage, there are complex multiple bonds the form the umbilical cord and it would be too difficult for just one RU-486 treatment to break those bonds. As a result, RU-486 would act in other places--meaning that it could cause harm to the fetus. If the fetus was brought to partuition, then there could be birth defects...
Per the FDA website about the drug interaction and teratogenic affects as seen in lab animals: "Skull defects, cranial nerve palsies, delayed growth and psychomotor development, facial malformation and limb defects have all been reported after exposure during the first trimester."
Munchkin03--I guess you are correct about RU-486... See website:
RU-486

exactly right - when an embryo links onto the uterine wall, that bond eventually becomes the placenta and umbilical cord
wow all of those side effects are pretty awful. This explains why they say don't wait to until the full 72 hours to take RU-486
