Abortion-Inducing Drug

Description

An abortion-inducing drug, also known as an abortifacient, is a medication that is used to terminate a pregnancy, either in its early stages or later on, depending on the drug's specific properties. These drugs may be prescribed by medical professionals or obtained illegally in some circumstances. Abortion-inducing drugs work by interfering with the hormones necessary for maintaining pregnancy, thereby causing the uterus to contract and expel the fetus.
