Italy's pharmaceutical watchdog in the next few months may approve sales of a pill to end a pregnancy after five to seven weeks, the Corriere della Sera reported Monday.
The French laboratory Exelgyn is seeking authorisation to sell RU 486, an emergency contraceptive with the brand name Mifegyn, in Italy.
Sales could start in February or March, the newspaper said.

I think this is more abortion than it is emergency contraception. Contraceptives are things like condoms and birth control that prevent pregnancy. RU 486 deletes pregnancy. It also has a relatively high death rate. According to a House Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, Drug Policy and Human Resources document, the number of patient fatalities in the US related to RU-486 abortions is estimated at 1.39 in 100,000.
