Isn't Escapelle an "abortion pill"? No, it definitely isn't. Escapelle is an "emergency contraceptive pill" or "after pill" that contains a common female hormone, levonorgestrel, which is a type of progestin. This hormone prevents pregnancy by delaying or preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary), thus preventing fertilization of the egg. The levonorgestrel birth control pill does not prevent an egg from implanting in the uterus and does not terminate pregnancy (according to any measure that determines the onset of pregnancy), which means that it does not have an abortive effect and does not harm an already started pregnancy. or the child.

The "abortion pill" is a completely different type of drug. Abortion pills are used later and work on a different principle: they stop the development of the pregnancy after it has already started. The abortion pill ends a pregnancy that has already begun and then forces the uterus to expel the fetus. These drugs are approved for use in early abortions, but not in all countries. The use of abortion pills is much more strictly controlled than the use of emergency contraceptive pills. Unlike emergency contraceptive pills, abortion pills can never be purchased in a pharmacy without a prescription.
