'Morning-After' Pill Approved by the FDA

[Democratic Hawk]

Less Abortions = Good

[Inverted Things]

There are some misconceptions about plan B that I'm about to clear up.

Fact #1.) The morning-after pill is powerless to stop conception from occuring.
Fact #2.) It prevents pregnancy because it makes the uterus resistent to a fertilized egg implanting itself.
Fact #3.) Pregnancy is defined by doctors as beginning when the egg implants itself in the uterus.

Hope this helps.

This is good news.  It will help reduce teenage pregancies and abortions at the same time, so this should be getting good returns from the left and the right.

Actually, women under 18 will still not be able to get the pill without a doctor's prescription.  We should see a decrease in abortions for older women though.

That's good news.  Hopefully less abortions will result from this. The logic works -- easier access to contraceptives, better chance of said contraceptives being used.

what's the difference?  kill the baby 4 months in, or 1 day in?   it's still murder.

That one or two cell ball does bring tears to my eyes when it passes away.  Too bad I can't see it without a high powered microscope.  Certainly it is much better to chop off the head of a cow that actually communicates, has a body shape, and is generally competent than that ball of cells with no shape, no competence, less human than an insect.

Even an unfertilized egg is visible without any optical aids.

Plan B is not an abortion pill, you fool. It there has already been conception, it doesn't work.

Thanks, I was about to say that myself. People do not know they are pregnant the day after. This is an extra-prevention method.

What I continue to be amazed with conservatives on this matter is, for all their screaming about people's rights to own lethal weaponry, they feel the moral right to tell women what they can do to their body.

I personally know that my stance in hypocritical, I find the death penalty barbaric, but I will defend to the end a woman's right to reproductive rights... I know sick sad little liberal. Whatever... toss toss toss.

Abortions are NOT nice things- and they should be discouraged- HOWEVER... see above.

It's not about what they can do with their body. It's about what they can do with their child's body.
