A member asked:
Are emergency contraceptive pills (ecps) the same as the abortion pill?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Emergency contraception is basically a specific way to take birth control pills that work to prevent ovulation. Ec will not abort a pregnancy once it is established. This is why it need to be taken as soon after unprotected intercourse as possible to work.
