You've got my attention. Does the timing of an abortion affect whether abortion is just or unjust?

Yes, otherwise abortion purists, which I'm not for many reasons, must admit that BC pills are as immoral as a partial birth abortion. The next micro step backwards is "every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good".

Which happens to be the consitent posistion of the RC church.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem to be saying that, assuming conception has taken place, abortion by morning-after BC pill is neither just nor unjust because a single-cell per se is not a living human being, although PBA is always unjust because the differentiated body has become a living human being.

Is there any empirical evidence to support the premise that a fertilized egg is not a living human being?
