lymelady Yeah, it does the same thing. Basically, it won't harm a fetus. It harms a zygote though. To some who are anti-abortion, it is not a life that early. To others, it is. Some people feel that it isn't a life until it develops a bit more. Edit: was looking up that e word. It's the uterus lining in a stage of the menstrual cycle basically. Oops, didn't see that... sweatdrop

Oops, didn't see that... sweatdrop I'm not surprised. You're not supposed to. Putting it in terms like that sells better because then even prolife people who're sexually active will use it if they need a contraceptive like that. If you didn't know what an endometrium is, it sounds like it means it keeps the egg from becoming fertilized. I had to look it up before I was sure, and I was looking for the darn thing. It's a sales sugarcoating (my own term for things like, tiny print that you can barely read, spoken warning said very fast so you can't hear, using words to over/under simplify, using big words, giving the results that only ten percent managed to get and putting in tiny letters "results not typical," that sort of thing.) trying to appeal to people who don't want to harm a person but don't want to have a child. By making it sound no different from a condom, it effectively sells to both prochoicers and prolifers.

I personally believe that the morning after pill in not abortion. Simply because what it does is prevent the whole process,(by preventing implantation) it does not stop the process, It is simply preventative. Not to mention places that give out the morning after pill stress that it IS NOT abortion, they do not hand out free abortions, and it should only be used in emergancy circumstances.
I am a firm believer in birth controll of all safe meathods and believe that any person who does not want a pregnancy has the right and the responsibility to protect themselfs from getting pregnant. However as soon as you have a pregnancy test that come out positive, you no longer have the right to prevent it, because it has already happened. At this point you have the responsibility to care for a life.

Personally, I have never found anything wrong with the Morning After Pill. My mom used to be a cop, so I've seen, talked to, and hung out with, women who have used the M.A.P. It works effectively with little harm to the woman, other than symptoms that are similar to having the flu. There is NO LIFE to be destroyed by the pill, IF it is taken in time. If nothing is being killed, than there is nothing wrong with it. Period.

FragmentedTear Protagonist Pregnancy doesn't actually begin until implantation. That's a matter of opinion. What's a fact is that a fertilised egg won't start growing until it's implanted.

Protagonist The morning after pill is kind of an emergency thing. It's called "EMC" or something like that. It happens if the condom slips off, or if the woman forgets the pill that day, or in cases of rape, etc. It takes quite a toll on the body, but I think it would eliminate the need for abortion if people actually used it. Dernit.. I wish I'd known about that..Oh, well.

After conception, a zygote exists. It's in the abortion terminology thread, if you'd like to look..actually, I'll just quote.
Quote: Zygote Webster's Wrote: Main Entry: zy·gote Pronunciation: 'zI-"gOt Function: noun Etymology: Greek zygOtos yoked, from zygoun to join -- more at ZYGOMA : a cell formed by the union of two gametes; broadly : the developing individual produced from such a cell - zy·got·ic /zI-'gä-tik/ adjective You all know that song. "And a zygote's not a kid." It's right. A zygote is a child. More in developemental thread...
