The morning-after pill, or Plan B - works in 2 ways. 1 way is somewhat like birth control pills, just repackaged and at much higher doses. It can prevent ovulation if taken soon enough. The 2nd way is to prevent implantation of a fertilized egg. It used to be called the Yuzpe regimen: giving a woman massive amounts of birth control hormones to make the womb hostile to a fertilized egg. That is the main component of the morning-after pill. Talk to your doctor and ask them about it. I spoke to 3 about this and was told the same thing by 2 - the 3rd said he "wasn't sure" but thought it would "cause a natural miscarriage" (interesting statement, isn't it?) if taken soon enough after rape (what they would prescribe it for at UCLA).
It was repackaged to diminish the "taking of a life" aspect that has so many on the fence. That is why it is also called 'emergency contraception' as in to prevent contraception. It can work as such, but it can also prevent the already-fertilized egg from implanting, resulting in miscarriage. In that way, it is an abortifacient drug.
So your comment here: If the egg is already released, then it doesn't work and the women gets pregnant. Thats the reason why it is so ineffective, there's a good chance the women might have already ovulated. is not accurate. If the egg is already released, and fertilized, use of the morning-after pill will result in a hostile womb and the end of an unwanted pregnancy.
If this drug were so ineffective, it would not be available as it were, or so fiercely promoted from the pro-abortion crowd.
Finally, your closing comment here: So the fact is the morning after pill prevents abortion, and you keeping women from getting it just causes more women to die. It isn't a moral question its a scientific one. Don't reply, "I think its an abortion" because your wrong. makes you sound completely hysterical and pro-abortion. Not to mention completely wrong.
There is NOTHING to back your quite astonishing assertion that preventing women from receiving the morning-after pill will result in their deaths. You cannot back that claim up from either a moral position or a scientific one, though you claim it's based in science.
I was saying that preventing the morning after pill would end in the dealth of aborted babies. BEcause abortion is still legal, some who can't get the morning after pill, which I say again works JUST LIKE REGULAR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS, end up aborting their baby. The morning after pill prevents abortion.
