Heeeey!! Michelle right? Yeah I pmed you!

Yeah anyway, no it will not terminate her pregnancy. Maybe if she takes 10 at once or so, because that would be just like taking a morning after pill, but even the morning after pill only has an 80-85% success rate. She needs to test. And if she doesn't want the baby, she needs to give it up for adoption. And if she can't handle that, then start thinking about abortion, but birth control is not an effective way to terminate a pregnancy.
