Mifepristone for illness and other nonabortion uses
In addition to providing a safe, effective method of early abortion, mifepristone shows promise as a treatment for a number of serious diseases and conditions.

Though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has only approved mifepristone for early abortion, the Feminist Majority Foundation offers a way to obtain the drug to treat serious illnesses. Information about the Compassionate Use Program can be obtained directly from the Foundation (offsite link).
