Dr. Wayne Ingram answered

Not safe!: Any ejaculate will decrease the absorption of the 4 vaginal pills. Moreover, if her cervix was open awaiting passage of the fetal material, then intercourse will increase the risk of intra uterine infection. Your partner needs to contact the Abortion MD immediately and explain what has occurred.
