What's the word on taking RU-486 during breastfeeding?  I've checked the
archives, and there was no really clear discussion.  The mother in question
has a 7 month old.

As I understand it, the mother, who is 5 weeks pregnant, would undergo a
two-part process.  Part 1 is 200 mg orally of mifipristone.  Part two is 800
mg vaginally of misoprostal.

Misoprostal is covered in Hale (20-40 min half-life if taken orally, no
problems noted, L3 on theoretical grounds); mifipristone is not.
