Lotta sluts out there these days. Almost makes me wish I were single again.....ALMOST. ;)

I feel sorry for all the abortionists who will be put out of work by the morning after pill. /sarc

IMO while I don’t like Plan B, if anyone is responsible for aborting a baby, it (is) should be the woman. It rests all on her shoulders now because she’s the one doing it all now. Don’t have to make a huge, government funded death industry like PP and the like anymore.

[Secret Agent Man]

Wonder why the MSM didn’t make this typical title for the story:

Sales Soaring for Morning-After Pill; Abortionists Hardest Hit

or to be even more PC

Sales Soaring for Morning-After Pill; Women and Minority Abortionists Hardest Hit

stupid tramps promoting the culture of death.

[Ingtar]

Islamofacists and Liberals seem to only differ in methodology in their desire to kill the innocent.

The morning after pill is not an abortion. It prevents pregnancy. But I think it should require a doctor’s Rx because there are some risks and some women will be flip about it.

[Twink]

Wrong. The morning after pill is another form of abortion.

[Lesforlife]

The pill can work in 3 ways. One of the actions is
preventing implantation of an embryo which
is abortifacient.

[Saundra Duffy]

In my opinion the morning-after pill is not an abortion because it prevents pregnancy in the first place.

The morning-after pill is taken within 72 hrs of unprotected sex and prevents pregnancy.

Still, I’m afraid women will abuse the power and be careless. It also does not prevent sexually transmitted disease. There are some potential side effects, too, and that’s why I think it should require a doctor’s Rx.

[Lesforlife]

While most doctors do not consider that an abortion, anti-abortion-rights doctors do, such as David Hager, a gynecologist from Lexington, Ky., who won’t prescribe Plan B for his own patients.

“One of the mechanisms of action can be to inhibit implantation, which means that it may act as an abortifacient,” says Dr. Hager. He says abortifacient means it causes an abortion and that this medication may act to inhibit implantation.

However, Associate Executive Director Dr. Gene Rudd of the Christian Medical Association, the nation’s largest faith- based association of doctors, said in a press release that the FDA’s decision gives a “politically motivated definition of pregnancy” and “violates the crucial medical principle of informed consent”.

“Many women in America would not take it if they realized that it can have the effect of preventing a fertilized ovum—a living human embryo—from implanting in the womb and having a chance to be born, said Dr. Rudd.

Pro-life spokesmen have pointed out that not only does Plan-B act as an “emergency contraceptive” by preventing the release of an egg for fertilization, but that it causes the abortion of an already conceived human embryo by making the womb’s nourishing endometrium hostile to implantation.

The morning after pill is another form of abortion.

Pick your battles wisely.

[EternalVigilance]

Pick your battles wisely.

What's that mean?

"Plan B" aborts babies.

[AnnaZ]

Yes, "Plan B" may prevent the implantation of a new life. True. But at least 23 out of 28 days in a month it won't. I would recommend one reserve the using of the term "abortion" for a much more conscious ending of an absolutely created here-to-otherwise-stay life.

It's like when anti-drug lecturers include caffeine and tobacco in a talk or display case that also includes crack and meth-amphetamines. Eventually eyes glaze over.

[EternalVigilance]

If we don’t draw the line where it needs to be drawn, at conception, no one will. And confusion will continue to reign.

[AnnaZ]

Yes, but in this situation actual conception is not always, or even in the majority of instances, the case. There's your confusion right there.

*shrug*

Do what you want.

[EternalVigilance]

I’m shocked and disappointed that you’re so cavalier about this.

Good night.

[AnnaZ]

Good night, EV.

(Should I be shocked and disappointed that you didn't get my point?)

[EternalVigilance]

I don’t know why you would think I didn’t get your point. I got it perfectly.
