    Did you know that, a few years ago, if you Wiki'ed Chuck Norris you'd read a bunch of idiotic and unfunny jokes about his hyperbolic awesomeness?

    EDIT: Wait a minute, Lone Star's claim is a flat-out lie. I just wiki'ed "Morning after pill" and it redirected me to the top of the article "Emergency contraception." An article which mentions RU-486 exactly once, when it says

    Hormonal progestin-only and combined estrogen-progestin emergency contraceptives such as Yuzpe regimen or Plan B differ from the anti-hormonal drug mifepristone (also known as Mifeprex and RU-486). Yuzpe and progestin-only emergency contraception will have no effect if taken after implantation, whereas mifepristone can induce abortion if taken after implantation.
    A little digging reveals that (according to Wiki) 486 can be used as an emergency contraceptive, but in larger doses (the use for which is it infamous) is an abortifacient. So you could say 486 is a type of MAP...but not that the two are identical.

          Yes but thought the point too obvious to mention.

              Pfff, I'm sure that when I typed in MAP---->Morning After Pill----ECP article. I concede I was mistaken, especially since I can't find a recent alteration in the article history.
