Why do so many women assume that plan b or next choice is like RU486? (the abortion pill)?

Why do so many women assume that plan b or next choice is like RU486? (the abortion pill)?I mean the ignorant people that say "I won't kill a living thing I won't kill a baby don't take plan b don't take it it's like an abortion"" are the ones I am talking about. Here's some direct info from the next choice page,and it's just like on the plan b page,same info. I wish people would stop being so ignorant about it and realize it's not the abortion pill (RU486) It's just an emergency contraception for if the one you use fails or you just neglect to use one (stupidity yea but still). My question is,after reading this information,why do so many ignorant (I mean ignorant as in not knowing) people still think it's the abortion pill?

The plan B pill is NOT what everyone makes it out to be. No,it's not like an "abortion pill". It simply induces a period so the lining of your uterus sheds therefore preventing anything to implant If implantation has already happened,it won't hurt anything. I see a lot of women referring to this as an abortion pill,and it's not. The only effects I've had from it (I've had to use it twice) is tiredness,and pms type symptoms the next day. They go away over a few days though,so no big deal. You can get abdominal cramping from it,and yes,I used next choice as well. I'm gonna post the link to the page so you can get more info,and so all of these ignorant people who think it's like an "abortion pill" can get their facts straight. FACTS ABOUT THIS PILL-

The sooner you take it, the better your chances for success.1

Next Choice is a generic product that contains levonorgestrel. It is pharmaceutically equivalent (bioequivalent) to the two tablet Plan B® product. Next Choice is available without a prescription for women 17 or older if you show your pharmacist a valid government-issued ID proving your age. If you are 16 or younger, a prescription is required.

You need to know that Next Choice should not be used as a substitute for birth control methods or as protection from sexually transmitted diseases.
