Plan B is just an extra strong BC pill that you take to quickly thick the uterine lining so again, if there is an egg hanging around there after you have unprotected sex, it can't stick to the wall and begin to grow.
If an egg and sperm meet it is not inevitable that they will connect to the uterine wall. It's very possible that the fertilized egg would miss the wall and just fall out your vagina- oh no, another dead baby! It happens all the time. Plan B is just giving you a greater chance of having it happen.
Now there IS an abortion pill but trust me, NOBODY confuses it with another "emergency contraception" or anything like that. If you choose to get this pill (RU486) then a) you're giving PP $550 unless you have insurance who will cover it at another abortion clinic, and b) you will get multiple pamphlets with the word "abortion" all over it. You'll get a flyer that has "MEDICAL ABORTION" at the top and will explain it, you'll get a pamphlet that'll explain the different types of abortions, and if you may even get a 100+ page coloring book (no joke, I got one) with the title "ABORTION & ME: EXPLORING MY LIFE WITH ABORTION" or something equally as ridiculous. Trust me, you won't "accidentally" get the abortion pill when you intended to get Plan B.
