I didn't say that.

Ok. And I'm really just curious. The parameters of this debate regarding Plan B seem to get pretty vague. I really don't understand how folks can view regular birth control pills as legally acceptable (setting aside individual moral objections to birth control such as yours, which I fully appreciate) but then view Plan B, which operates within the same contraceptive framework, as legally unacceptable.

Birth control pills prevent fertilization, Plan B prevents an already formed embryo from attaching to the uterine wall. There is a huge difference.

oh, there is a very BIG difference, we will have to go back to our high school biology.

egg and sperm are mere cells coming from a human body, they are haploid with 23 chromosomes. A birth control pill prevents ovulation.

after the egg and sperm meet (both haploid cells) they form a new and distinct human being, their child which is now diploid with 46 chromosomes, with his own DNA, where no other person on earth has such DNA unless they are mono zygotic twins.

plan b aborts this child. We all became human at conception. Our DNA was formed and every aspect of our body was programmed. So, one pill prevents ovulation, while the other pill kills a human being.

a reason why the in-vitro fertilization process, embryonic stem cell research and fetal farming should not be allowed.
