During a pilgrimage to Rome in 2001, I accompanied a group of families as their chaplain. At the Fumicino airport, all eyes were on the children. One of the parents in the group remarked: "Yes, they would like to look at and admire children but not carry them" Thanks be to God that our moms carried us and here we are.
Pundits and experts argue in favor of freedom in promoting this "Plan B" pill, whose impact will be certainly detrimental to the life within the womb and finally there it is available over the counter. Pity those pharmacists who are coerced to sell them much against their will!
Is it a reflection of promiscuity or loose morals that has crept into our contemporary society. It makes one wonder. Already it has been a herculean task for parents to fight the media from the toll it has had on the morale of teenagers. Now Morning After Pill is the lethal weapon. Who knows who all will use it! But that it will turn the womb into tomb cannot be ruled out.
If all arguments against this morning after pill fail, this story of an agonising parent should be a clarion call to all the advocates of MAP and the future users of this human killer called MAP.
Whoever the advocates may be, teenagers need to be aware that "MAP" is not going to guarantee the safe passage for promiscuity. It's time that we listen to the wisdom of our predecessors that "sex within marriage alone is sacred". Anything else annihilates the very intent of the Creator.
Now that "MAP" is over the counter stuff, maybe they will pave way to a painless infanticide - a silent holocaust. If those who got pregnant would only approach a CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER and see the "life within", perhaps that would change their attitude instead of depending on a quick fix that gives one the comfort and confidence of being "safe": safe from what? Good to ponder.
Can we be at least aware that if our mothers had attempted abortion, all of us would not be alive on this planet earth. May God protect the wombs much against the will of those are out to destroy what the wombs treasure.
"Yes, but that's not enough."
I'm not out there spreading lies like you've been doing here in this thread. If that's what you mean.
Why do you insist on repeating that when I showed directly from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops Website that is NOT TRUE?? And from the manufacturer's own website? Gosh! Do you think that if you repeat that often enough it's going to make it true? Look, you can't beat it coming straight from the horse's mouth Marajade, LOL! Let's put it up again. This time with an article from August 24, 2006
Guess what?? Still calling it an abortifacient just like in 2005, LOL!
Next time you call me a liar, I'm hitting the abuse button to the Religion Moderator. I haven't posted a lie to this thread.
The pill is designed to prevent conception. The only other thing they know scientifically, is they know that if a woman is pregnant, it won't work.
"Next time you call me a liar, I'm hitting the abuse button to the Religion Moderator."
Hit it. Its not an abortion pill.
The FDA describes Plan B as ‘a contraceptive drug’ and equates its side effects to those of ordinary birth control pills. While Plan B can prevent fertilization, the manufacturer admits it may also prevent a newly-conceived embryo from implanting and surviving in the womb. This is properly understood as causing an early abortion.
“Without the benefit of a doctor’s supervision, many women will be unaware of this abortifacient action and the other risks posed by Plan B.
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
Enough Said!
" ... it may also prevent a newly-conceived embryo from implanting and surviving in the womb."
I've looked up the word abortion in the dictionary. And that don't fit it.

Then you don't know how to read.
Where are you getting that an egg not being implanted is an abortion?
You like dictionary definitions. Pull your Merriam Webster's out and look up abort. It means to stop in the early stages. What name do you put on it Marajade when a fertilized egg is not implanted in the womb? Please tell me. I can't wait to hear the cop out term for this one.
Do you believe that stopping an egg being fertilized meets the criteria from "the early stages"?
And also do you believe preventing a fertilized egg from being implanted meets the criteria of "early stages"?
Could you just answer yes or no.
" ... What name do you put on it Marajade when a fertilized egg is not implanted in the womb?"
I don't call it abortion.
As usual, you skirted the issue. You don't have a name to put on it do you?
Birth control.
Oh, I see. A product that specifically carries a warning that says you can possibly fertizlize an egg, but prevents implantation is still just plain old birth control to you?
What's it to you? Let your yes be yes, or your no be no.
You are afraid to use the word "abortion" to describe the egg not being fertilized or implanted.
You've lost me here. What the heck are you talking about?
You are afraid to use the word "abortion" to describe the egg not being fertilized or implanted.
Are you getting tired? I'm never afraid to use the word abortion in its proper context. I think I've proven that.
"I'm never afraid to use the word abortion in its proper context. I think I've proven that."
Using what definition? Try the Bible.
Yeah, why don't you try that Marajade. Know where to begin?
Is it abortion or not? Coward.
Its not in the Bible.
