B.C. latest province to pay for 'abortion pill' that currently costs $300

VICTORIA — The B.C. government has announced it will pay for the so-called abortion pill starting Jan. 15, becoming the sixth province to provide free access to the drug.
Mifegymiso, also known at RU-486, can be used to terminate a pregnancy in the first nine weeks, the government said in a news release Tuesday.
It said the current cost of the drug is $300, and removing the cost will ensure women can access a safe, legal option to end a pregnancy.
