Chemical Abortion   Anon changed this section to Chemical abortion which comprises  of all abortions in the United States and Europe is a method used to induce abortion by ingesting drugs usually during the first nine weeks of pregnancy Chemical abortion is accomplished by administering either methotrexate or mifepristone RU followed by administration of misoprostol Approximately eight percent of these abortions require surgical followup usually by vacuum aspiration See below Methotrexate may also treat undiagnosed or concomitant tubal pregnancies or assist women who have spontaneously aborted  A common misconception is that emergency contraception commonly known as the Morningafter pill sold under the brand name Plan B causes an abortion This is medically inaccurate since emergency contraception only works before pregnancy begins Pharmacologically emergency contraception is identical to ordinary hormonal contraceptives and work to prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation inhibiting sperm motility and possibly by making the uterine lining less hospitible to implantation Emergency contraception has no effect on an existing pregnancy and must be taken within  hours of unprotected intercourse though it is most effective if taken as soon as possible Intrauterine devices also known as IUDs can be used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected intercourse as well  Not going to RV this one because of WPRR but I think it needs work The content is pretty good but the prose needs to be neutralized
