>Mifepristone is used for pharmacological (non-surgical) abortion. I read that it's also used as an emergency contraceptive ("morning after pill") in at least China, but certainly not in the US. The usual morning after pill is based on levonorgestrel, which is classified as a progestin or synthetic progestogen receptor agonist (the natural agonist is progesterone).
