Interesting, why do you suppose it is that a young lady I knew (now the Mom of a pretty little girl) was encouraged to take the Plan B pill a month after she got pregnant....so it would “start here menstral cycle”....hmmm

This is reprehensible. Back in the late 1800's the newspapers (like the NY Times) were full of ads for herbal potions that would supposedly bring on "blocked menses" (these were called "emmenagogues"). Educated people (like the first woman doctor in the USA, Elizabeth Blackwell) even then knew that "emmenagogues" actually brought on early abortions. The pro-life feminists of that age ---including Elizabeth Cady Stanton --- refused to put such ads in their own newspapers.

The feminists of 130 years ago were more intellectually honest and morally consistent than our CT Catholic bishops. It's a disgrace.

Whoever recommended Plan B to start a period “a month after she got pregnant....” is/was ignorant of the mechanism of Plan B.

That’s not so surprising if it was prior to 2001, when the first study came out that showed that the protocol didn’t change the uterine lining. Or before 2004, when the second study came out confirming the first.
