ECP's (Emergency Contaception Pills) are usable up to 72 hours after the incident. These are usually a combination of pills taken within a 12 hour period. ECP's prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation, fertilization and implantation. It is not an "abortion pill" as it doesn't effect an existing pregnancy.
RU 486 is usable during the first 9 weeks of pregnancy. It's basically an "abortion pill" without sugically having one. RU 486 is an antiprogestin that inhibits the female hormone progesterone that must be present to maintain a pregnancy.
It is not a morning after pill.
Now that you're educated, I don't think the pharmacist had any right to refuse the prescription. That is her job to prescribe medication and if it led to a physical abortion I think she should be sued. This is an easy way for women who are not wanting to be pregnant to avoid it, without having to live with the agony of a surgical abortion.
I've saved a lot of people from having children :happysad:.
