The '''abortion pill''' (often just ''''the pill'''') is a carcinogenic method of female contraception that forces the unnatural release of [[hormone]]s.  Most modern abortion pills use a combination of [[estrogen]] and [[progesterone]] to prevent egg release.  The usual cycle is 21 days of the hormone treatments followed by 7 days off.  It is during this 7 day off period when the [[menstruation]] cycle occurs.<ref>http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/sexual_health/contraception/contraception_birth.html</ref>  It is possible for eggs to still release and fertilization to occur, but the hormone combination from the pill prevents the [[ovum]] from attaching to the [[uterus|uterine lining]], and therefore does not allow the normal cycle of [[pregnancy]] to commence.
