morning after pill


not trying to offend anyone, just generally asking
but did that whole line about "no i don't want to take the morning after pill" i won't abort a baby make little sense to you guys?
the morning after pill prevents an egg from being released. that's not classified as abortion, right?
i feel like she was making no sesne.

they were trying to find conflict to build on the simplistic story.

People who don't know what the morning after pill really does generally assume it's an abortion pill.

There are people who think using a condom or birth control pills is the same as abortion. she is probably one of those nuts.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

I am not attempting to stir up a debate on the veracity of these claims, but I'll attempt to address why some people do view Plan-B (morning after pills), in addition to regular or high dose BC pills and IUDs as abortificients.

There are studies that have shown that such forms of birth control act as abortificients because they do not always prevent fertilization. Instead, on occasion, fertilization does occur, but the zygote is prevented from implanting into the uterine wall, thus causing a termination of the pregnancy. Whether one believes that pregnancy begins at conception (fertilization) or implantation is where the controversy about these methods begins.

IMO, the best way to avoid this ethical dilemma in the first place is to not have random sex with a stranger who is already involved with another woman. But then we wouldn't a chance have these wacky hijinks ensue on screen!

Technically, any form of contraception is not allowed for Catholics. And yeah, that whole argument about the morning after pill=abortion in pill form is the ignorant rhetoric that is flaunted by the Catholic church and most of the evangelist right.

How do I know all this? I taught at a Catholic university.

reply

She was a Catholic, and they believe all forms of contraception including the Condom is wrong and stopping life.

Now considering he is using a condom he is not the catholic. The Catholic church believe that the morning after pill is a form of abortion and wrong.

I like when he's like "OK then, did you stop using the pill because of your religion, or because you didn't like how you felt on it" when she told him that she used to be on it but didn't like how it made her.

I think a lot of people think plan B makes you lose a baby when in fact if you're already pregnant it won't even work. A lot of birth control work the same way plan b does, if an egg is fertilized it won't be able to attach to you thus making you unable to get pregnant. I am not one who believes that. I think pregnancy begins when it's attached to you not just floating around in you. Rape victims are typically given plan b after an assault to prevent pregnancy (if they so choose to take it).
