So... not looking to open a can of worms here, but since we're on the subject of the morning-after pill...

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Dec 22 '08, 15:35

It's my understanding that the pill prevents the implantation of a fertilized ovum. So I don't see it as an abortion. An analogy would be like putting a shield between a fertilized egg and the uterine wall. I thus find this as more acceptable than an abortion. Wouldn't those who oppose abortion therefore support this means of birth control?

Unclear. Wiki says "Some scientists believe that Emergency Contraception may possibly act after fertilization" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 22, 15:44

  - Without knowing whether or not your asking of this question relates to your personal life, I would say that, as someone who is pro-life such as I am, - Loyola Dec 22, 15:54
I wouldn't suspect so more on the basis of religious ideals and the belief that life begins at inception which happens before the implatation. -- nm - Qale Dec 22, 15:39
I thought most birth control was frowned upon... -- nm - Beaker - Caveman Finalist Dec 22, 15:38 1
- There's probably a lot less consistency regarding that within the pro-life movement... - znufrii Dec 22, 15:53
