Treading carefully, and being open to correction, I do think the answer depends to some extent, on exactly how often the pill in question causes abortions.

A pill that is meant to prevent contraception from even occurring but which occasionally has a small statistical probability of causing a miscarriage or abortion instead to me is a very different situation from a pill which is designed and will most likely or in all cases cause an abortion.

In the former scenario, it seems to me there is very little difference in selling a pill which has a small, statistical chance of causing an abortion and selling say, a car which has a small, statistical chance of causing a death.

I want to be wary of speaking hastily on matters like these, but what exactly is the difference?
