Brief Answer:
i pill or abortion pill

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. If by pill, you mean I pill then there will be no adverse effect on the fetus and you can safely go for delivery.
However, if she has taken abortion pills, then the fetus can have congenital anomalies, and she needs a detailed anomaly ultrasound at18-29 weeks gestation to rule out such anomalies.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
