an abortificant..from pennyroyal?

http://pages.map.com/lroberge/ru486.htm  Section 3 of this article gives the
half life as 26 to 48 hours which suggests more like ten days, no?

Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation, Briggs, et al 4th edition 1994 p595 "No
data has been located on the excretion of mifepristone in breast milk.
Since the drug is well absorbed after oral administration, it should not be
used during breastfeeding due to it's potent antihormonal effects..."

I could find no data to answer a mother's question on the safety of breast
feeding her 11-month-old after she takes RU-486. Her doc told her to pump
and discard for a MONTH.
Any experience or data?
