Jane Gerster, a Winnipeg Free Press reporter recently published a news article on June 28,2017, about a mother-to-be claiming that her doctor mistakenly gave her abortion pills during her appointment on June 21,2017. The drug that he gave her is called ‘Misoprostol’ this drug could have caused serious consequences to the baby because it is used for treating stomach ulcers, inducing labour and aborting fetuses. It softens the cervix, the lower end of the female's uterus and starts contractions. Though, Serissa Mckay who was 8 months pregnant wanted the baby, so the use of this pill contraindicates her situation. Moreover, if Mckay had used this pill then it would have been very effective at ending her pregnancy regardless of the fetus’s age.
