    This is something you can use if you didn’t use birth control or were late on your regular method.  It’s really stronger doses of the same hormones that are found in regular birth control.  And it’s most effective if it’s taken within 12 hours after sex.

    A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that Plan B and RU486 (also known as the ‘abortion pill’) are the same thing.  It’s not.  Pregnancy is defined by implantation, and Plan B can’t harm an egg that has finished implanting–thus can’t cause an abortion.  It also cannot cause birth defects.
