How the abortion pill works

The abortion pill is given up to the 68th day of pregnancy and blocks the hormone progesterone. Two days after taking it, two prostaglandin tablets induce contractions, causing about 70 percent miscarriages within hours and the rest shortly after. About 4 percent need surgical abortion. Side effects include heavy bleeding and cramps.
