Is It Dangerous To Take Misoprostol At 17-20 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I'm am trying to learn the dangers of taking misoprostol at 17-20 weeks pregnant. Also if it is legal here in the United States. (as in if a girl did this at home and went to the er what would be done ). Any information you have will be helpful. Its for a paper for school and I cant find much on the internet about this I find it important to get this information out to young girls. Mostly want answers from a person who has seen this done.
