So. Abortion is wrong. But it only COUNTS as wrong once we're sure. Thus, the morning after pill is OK, since the woman may or may not be pregnant, even though the expressed intent is to prevent implantation, thus inducing abortion.

Is it OK to take RU-486 without a sonogram, if one is, say, a week late? After all, she doesn't KNOW she's pregnant...

Simply seems like an inconsistant philosophy. Which was the very nature of the original discussion, or so I thought. (I'm against, BUT...)

I'm not saying you've no point as a tactical matter, but this didn't start out, I thought, as a discussion of tactics, but rather of philosophy.

Oh, well. It's not like this particular discussion of ours will shake the walls of congress. Good night, all.

I agree with you. There is simply no way to confirm whether a conception has occured 6-12 hours after the event. I give it a pass. I also give a pass to the pill in general.

Sometimes the pill does result in a conception not finding a healthy place to implant. Sometimes that happens without the pill. How does anyone know? Are we surmising that this has happened in a percentage of cases because of probability?

If it is that unclear, I'm willing to let it go.
