The morning after pill in my opinion is not in the same category as MURDERING a viable fetus in the womb! This comes from someone who in the 70’s had to draw blood from women who were seven and eight months pregnant. The morning after pill prevents the implantation of the embryo which is just a hollow ball of cells at that point. I would prefer that that embryo be nurtured and carried to full term by the mother, but the erroneous decision by the SCOTUS in 1973 made it possible for women to legally “choose” to not do so.

And I wonder how many have used the so-called morning-after pill.

Many more post menopausal women now. I wonder what the rate is now if only childbearing women were counted.

Based on my observation of the maternity ward last week when my daughter was giving birth, I’d concur with your comments completely. And this wasn’t the downtown city hospital either.

Thank you.
“And this wasnt the downtown city hospital either.”
It’s all over the place. Stats say one thing; unlying eyes tell us the truth.

Nothing says “You mean less to me than a used sheet of fabric softener” then rolling into your local pharmacy, coughing up ~$50 and purchasing the “Plan B” pill for last night’s conquest.

There’s a guy on here who tries to convince people that abortions are killing potential Democrats faster than minorities and illegals are producing new ones.
He’s full of balogna.

To both your questions: the truth is that we are on borrowed time.
And the Bible is,clear that God will not contend with man forever.
