morning after pill
The “morning after pill,” which is also referred to as “emergency contraception,” can prevent women from getting pregnant after they have had sex. Actually, the term “morning after pill” is a misnomer because women actually have up to 120 hours (five days) after sex to take the pills and still prevent pregnancy. In essence, when you use the morning after pill you are using the same hormones found in regular daily oral contraceptive pills
There are a number of different brands of morning after pills so you should consult your Ob-Gyn to decide which one is right for you. Interestingly, some people get confused and think that the morning after pill is the same as “the abortion pill.” It is not the same. The morning after pill is used to prevent pregnancy before it begins, and works primarily or perhaps exclusively by delaying or inhibiting ovulation – it does not cause an abortion.
Meanwhile, two years ago the FDA approved “Plan B,” a form of the morning after pill, for over the counter access by women 17 years of age and older. Recently, the drug maker announced it is asking the FDA to lift the age restrictions on the morning after pill altogether. The FDA is expected to review the proposal over the next year.
Most of the clinics listed on www.Abortion.com can give you more information on the morning after pill.

Pro Lifers want to get rid of The Morning After Pill.
The Morning After Pill is such a good product, it reveals the insanity of the pro Life movement.

Many of them do because they think it is an abortion. That’s craziness, if you ask me. They actually prevent abortions. Every woman should have a pack of them in her medicine cabinet!

I always keep some Morning After Pills in my closet. Unfortunately, the morning after pill doesn’t always allow the fertilized egg to be aborted.
The Morning After Pill works most the time though.

Does the Morning After Pill ever cause an abortion?
March 2, 2011 at 9:08 am
The pro-life movement says it does but…the morning after pill is a high dosage of the actual birth control pill, which can be taken up to 72 hours after intercourse, to PREVENT pregnancy. There aren’t any known cases for this to cause a woman to miscarry if she already is pregnant and it is highly effective.

The literature is quite clear on The Morning After Pill.
Occasionally it will cause an abortion. There is no doubt.
It would be a very early abortion induced by the morning after pill, but it clearly happens sometimes.
The Morning After Pill is still a great intervention and no one should think less of it because of this.

Doctor A, help me out here. How does this cause an abortion? Exactly how fast can one conceieve after sex?

The Morning After Pill should be taken by women at risk of pregnancy.
During menstruation, a women cannot get pregnant, so one would not take the morning after pill then? Right?
You can only get pregnant after the women releases an egg. So if you have sex around that time it can happen within the day. The egg dies shortly after, and you do not need the morning after pill.

It kills the baby, The Morning After Pill.
The Morning After Pill should be outlawed.
March 10, 2011 at 10:19 am
Geez, Renee, are you really saying with a straight face that after sex, three days later, it is a ‘BABY”????
April 22, 2011 at 6:15 pm
The Morning After Pill can cause an Abortion.
The Morning After Pill should be taken of the shelves.

Claudia: Let’s say you have unprotected sex on a Saturday night. Sunday morning you get the Morning After Pill and take it. Are you telling me that is an “abortion?”
