Know the Difference: Abortion Pill vs. Plan B
Many people don’t realize there’s a big difference between the abortion pill and Plan B. Knowing the facts matters—especially when it comes to your health.
🔹 Plan B (Emergency Contraception)
• Prevents pregnancy.
• Taken within 72 hours after unprotected s*x.
• Works by delaying ovulation.
• Not effective if you’re already pregnant.

• Involves two drugs: Mifepristone + Misoprostol
