The development of abortion pills, specifically the combination of mifepristone and misoprostol, was primarily a result of research and contributions from various scientists and organizations.
- **Mifepristone**, also known as RU-486, was developed by a French scientist named **Dr. Étienne-Émile Baulieu** in the 1980s. Dr. Baulieu, a French endocrinologist, is often credited with pioneering the drug, which works by blocking the hormone progesterone, necessary for pregnancy to continue.
- **Misoprostol**, used in combination with mifepristone, was developed by the pharmaceutical company **Searle** (now part of Pfizer) in the 1980s as a medication for ulcers. It was later found to be effective for use in abortion when paired with mifepristone.
The combination of mifepristone and misoprostol has since become a widely used method for medical abortion in many countries.
