RU486 and the "morning after" pill are not the same.

I never said they were the same. Don't put words in my mouth.

Not even close. Please do some research when you have time to learn more.


Four Types of Emergency Contraception
by Marjorie Greenfield, M.D.

Four general methods of emergency contraception are currently available in the United States: the morning-after pill, in both estrogen-progestin and progestin-only formulas; the IUD; and RU486.
From:[http://www.drspock.com/article/0,1510,5706,00.html]

The bottom line is that all the aforementioned methods are classified together as options to terminate a pregnancy, and all serve the same purpose.

Please do some more moral contemplation when you have time to consider the consequences of such FDA-approved poisons on an unborn child.

How, then, to interpret this statement of yours "The so-called 'morning after pill' (RU-486, whatever) ..."

Sure sounds like you are saying that they are they same thing.

RU-486 is very, very rarely used as emergency contraception. And for clarification, the "morning after" pill, which is what the article we are responding to is about, is a separate medication all together. So, they are very different and lumping the two together is not a wise idea when trying to get a point across. But kudos to you for digging hard enough to back-up your misstatement.

"The bottom line is that all the aforementioned methods are classified together as options to terminate a pregnancy, and all serve the same purpose. Please do some more moral contemplation when you have time to consider the consequences of such FDA-approved poisons on an unborn child."

Spare me the morality speech, please. I'm pro-life. I just want us to have our facts straight.
