So you are saying that IF a fertalized egg is present in the womb that this “morning after-pill” will NOT purge it? Show me the medical evidence and I will agree with you. The fact is that a fertalized egg IS a life.... PERIOD. you can refuse to accept the fact but here are the medical facts:
Morning After Pill / Plan B (Medically Induced Abortion)
The “Morning After Pill” (also called Plan B) is a large dose of oral contraceptive. The medication is actually 2 tablets, one taken within 72 hours of intercourse and the second 12 hours later. The Morning After Pill / Plan B is not the same as RU486.
The Morning After Pill / Plan B acts as an emergency contraceptive principally by preventing ovulation or fertilization. In addition, it may inhibit implantation. The Morning After Pill / Plan B is not intended to be effective once the process of implantation has begun. If the Zygote does not adhere to the uterine wall, a natural abortion occurs as the Zygote passes out of the uterus. The purpose of the Morning After Pill / Plan B is to prevent the fertilized egg, the Zygote from adhering to the uterine wall thereby creating a medically induced abortion. Naturally occurring abortions and medically induced abortions are not the same.
The Morning After Pill / Plan B does not protect against HIV infection (AIDS) or other sexually transmitted diseases. The most common side effects in the Plan B clinical trial were nausea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and menstrual changes. These side effects are a product of high doses of medication.
RU486 / Mifepristone (Medically Induced Abortion)
RU486 (also called the ‘Abortion Pill’) is only approved for use in women up to the 49th day after their last menstrual period (LMP). RU486 as administered by a physician usually requires three office visits. Initial medication is intended to medically cause death of the Embryo. Following death of the Embryo the woman’s body may naturally abort the Embryo, causing the body to release the embryo from the uterine wall to pass out of the uterus. However, the body sometimes will not naturally release the deceased embryo from the uterine wall. If the body does not release the lifeless embryo, another dose of medication may cause the uterine to release the embryo from the uterus. If the body does not release the embryo, aspiration, curettage or dilation and evacuation may be required (see below).
IMHO the fertilized egg IS a human life that should receive the same constitutional protections as you and I.
