How Do Americans View the Availability of Mifepristone in the United States?
A public opinion poll, conducted by Gallup, found that opposition to mifepristone as an abortion drug increased from 44 percent in 1996 to 47 percent in 2000.31 Is the “Morning-After Pill” the Same as Mifepristone? No. Mifepristone is taken when a woman knows she is pregnant and with the intention of aborting her preborn child. On the contrary, the so-called “morning-after pill” is sold to women as a form of “emergency contraception” to prevent pregnancy.
