>>>This drug induces an abortion, terminating a human life.>>>
No it doesn't, it prevents a life from forming in the first place.
>>>There are also questions about its safety for the mother.>>>
That is BS. There is plenty of stuff OTC that can be misused and sometimes unsafe.
I am FOR this as it prevents abortion in my opinion. If you can stop it BEFORE a life is formed (before egg meets sperm), then you can prevent a person from waiting until they are 8 weeks and having an abortion.
JMO though and I feel the flames coming on.
But, the point is the drug does not only prevent ovulation, in some cases it aborts a fertilized egg. It is not always simply that ovulation is suppressed. Each case is different.
It depends on when the drug is taken and where she is in the cycle and if fertilization has taken place.
That's the idea behind Plan B. "It prevents pregnancy mainly by stopping the release of an egg," says the manufacturer, Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc. However, Barr adds, the drug "may also prevent the fertilization of an egg" or prevent a fertilized egg "from attaching to the uterus."
