In Hausknecht’s study, 178 pregnant women–all less than 68 days along–received an injection of the anti-cancer medicine methotrexate. This drug stops the division of cells, malignant or fetal, and is used to end potentially fatal ectopic pregnancies.

Misoprostol induces contractions, expelling the dead fetus in a process almost indistinguishable from a miscarriage....
