change the female hormonal situation by preventing ovulation (e.g. implant)

??? Ovulation occurs before fertilization; implantation occurs after fertilization.

All hormonal contraceptives have at least the potential to prevent implantation. (That's according to the package inserts that come with the drug; i.e., according to the manufacturer.) If you believe that life begins at conception (as you should), that means they can, sometimes, work by causing an early abortion.

And how does the morality of using these drugs differ if they are taken before intercourse (when there is no possibility of anything inside to implant) versus after intercourse (when there is a possibility that there is something to implant)?
