As pointed out by many people on this thread, Plan B works in three ways, as admitted to on its on dedicated website. It prevents ovulation, when an egg is released from the ovary. It prevents fertilization, so an embryo isn't created in the first place. That is the "contraceptive" part. Finally, it works by preventing an embryo from implanting in the uterus, therefore causing a very early-term abortion.
If this is the position the president and his administration is taking, it is completely inconsistent with his veto of embryonic stem cell research. If he truly believes, as he said, that destroying embroys for research "manipulate[s] human life and violate[s] human dignity," then he should oppose the over-the-counter availability of Plan B, plain and simple.
We're getting sidetracked here on the subject. >>
that's the way it goes on the FR.
