If the egg is fertilized, it IS an abortion.

No, it's not... but don't let that get in the way of your histrionic ramblings.

Histrionic? Just what do you think an "embryo" is, anyway? Just a blob of flesh? Where do you think YOU came from?

Shouldn't that have been "hystrionic" ramblings? ;-)

How do emergency contraception/morning-after pills work?

The emergency contraceptive/morning-after pill has three possible ways in which it can work (as does the regular birth control pill):

1. Ovulation is inhibited, meaning the egg will not be released;
2. The normal menstrual cycle is altered, delaying ovulation; or
3. It can irritate the lining of the uterus so that if the first and second actions fail, and the woman does become pregnant, the human being created will die before he or she can actually attach to the lining of the uterus.

In other words, if the third action occurs, her body rejects the living human embryo, and the child will die. This result is a chemical abortion. (Abortion is an act of direct killing that takes the life of a living preborn human being—a life that begins at fertilization.)

Actually, in Texas at least, the law is ambiguous. The Prenatal Protection Act of 2003 declares that the human individual begins at fertilization, while abortion is restricted to those procedures which purposefully interupt a pregnancy "known to the attending physician."
