Answer: Mifepristone

Explanation: Mifepristone provides a nonsurgical way to terminate a pregnancy.

Mifepristone is a synthetic steroid that interferes with the action of progesterone, a hormone crucial to the early processes in pregnancy. The pill can be used to induce abortion in early stages of pregnancy, but it becomes less safe to use after the seventh week. PF
