I'd bet not one physician in 10,000 ever informs his/her patient that they're about to take a drug which might induce an early term abortion by preventing implantation. Did yours? Ours didn't.
Most of them would rather ignore the issue or pretend that pregnancy begins with implantation.
And, yes you're technically correct -- it is printed on the label. But the vast majority of people don't read the inserts that come with their drugs, and of the tiny percentage who do, most of these people cannot read medicalese well enough to decipher the meaning.

What the hell kind of physician are you going to? Sounds like some kind of shady back-alley dealings to me. What do you mean "most of them would rather ignore the issue"? You might try to give doctors more credit than that, since most of them don't get too involved with ridiculous abortion arguments. Sounds to me like you went to the 1 in 10,000 doctors that DON'T mention to their patients that one of the applications of birth control is use as a "morning after" pill. A larger quantity of pills can be taken up to 72 hours after intercourse to successfully stop a pregnancy. This is common knowledge among nearly 100 percent of women whom are on the pill and I am shocked that you would imply that a physician would deliberately not tell a patient about this application because of some silly ridiculous abortion argument.

Well, let's check it out. I would assume that someone on FR who has further self-selected to be on the Pro life bump list, would have a far greater familiarity with the fact that the Pill is an abortifacient. So let's ask them:

How many of you lady Freepers knew that the Pill was an abortifacient? Please respond to this post.
