For over 20 years, both emergency contraception and medication abortion pills have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patient use. [1,2] While they are both important forms of reproductive health care, they are not the same. Understanding the difference between these vital medications helps fight the stigma against reproductive health care that anti-abortion leaders try to foster.

On this webinar, we’ll discuss how these separate medications work, the importance of each, and what you can do to advocate for further understanding or reproductive health care in your communities.

Speakers represent:

• Hey Jane
• American Society for Emergency Contraception
• Emergency Contraception for Every Campus
