Are the abortion pill and the morning after pill the same thing?

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.
