Okay, now I'm really confused. This is what I got off of the Planned Parenthood site:
Mifepristone provides women with a medical alternative to aspiration (suction) abortion. Mifepristone, approved for use as an abortifacient by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on September 28, 2000, is an antiprogesterone drug that blocks receptors of progesterone, a key hormone in the establishment and maintenance of human pregnancy. Mifepristone induces spontaneous abortion when administered in early pregnancy and followed by a dose of misoprostol, a prostaglandin.
But, there's a reason I'm going to be an architect--I don't do science.
Is there a difference between Mifepristone and RU-486?

I was like, WTF, HOLD UP--HOW IS SHE GETTING PREGNANT THE 2ND TIME??? And she cain't affort any Artificial Insemination or SIF??? And the MD researchers were like, we have NO idea what AIDS antiviral cocktails do to the unborn fetus...

If there's one thing that I consider myself a conservative about, it's the fact that I'm completely close-minded about safer sex. There's just no question or grey area. BE SAFE.
If I had to do what you do, I'd get cursed out all the time.
