No, the morning after pill and the abortion pill are not the same thing.

The morning after pill (e.g., Plan B), is a pill you take within 72 hours after having sex to PREVENT a pregnancy from happening. It is emergency birth control. It contains either levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate to ensure a fertilized egg does not implant in the uterus. This prevents pregnancy from starting.

The abortion pill is a pill you take AFTER getting pregnant. In the early stages of a pregnancy, within the first 11 weeks or so, a doctor can provide you with an abortion pill to allow for a medical abortion. It uses mifepristone and misoprostol to end a pregnancy by emptying your uterus, which will cause heavy bleeding and be like a heavy period.
