Morning After Pill

I need to update more often. My goal now is to update atleast twice a week. I was in the process of writing last night but when sam left work I got 50 million calls... Not that it really matters, because I am so much faster than Sam, that I would have ended up taking most those calls anyway. It seems like everyday there is something in the news that makes Pat Robertson an asshole. When a person starts to think that there is no way that Pat could be a bigger asshole, he proves you wrong. This is not necessarily something that Pat Robertson has a direct link with, though im sure he will say some idiotic thing about it soon. Four pharmacist are suing walgreens over wrongful termination, they are being represented by the American Center for Law and Justice, which was created by Pat Robertson. The pharmacists all refused to give out the morning after pill, claiming that they had moral objections to it. They all had signed contracts saying that they would provide immediate service. If they had moral objections to an order they must find another employee to fill the prescription. So I was asking Sam about this last night.... Is the morning after pill equal to an abortion? The pill works by preventing the fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus lining, many pro life people believe that it is considered an abortion. So far some of the pro life people that I have spoken to, do not consider the morning after pill to be equal to an abortion, how is that? What do you think?



*edit*
So Sam posted my question on a message board, and we have looked at various websites. I need to be a little more precise with my question apparently. The way the Morning after pill works is that it will prevent you from ovulating if you have not, so no egg will be available for fertilization, just like the birth control pills. The moral problem with it is that if you are already ovulating and an egg does become fertilized (which you have no way of knowing), It will prevent the fertilized egg from attaching to the uterine lining. Is this abortion? If not, When is it considered abortion? Many people believe that life starts at fertilization. What is your opinion? My opinion does not really matter in this case, since I am not a woman. I do believe that a woman should have the right to choose, but I would never request it in my case. I just want to know other peoples opinion on this matter.

I don't think it's abortion because you're never actually "pregnant"...it's more of a precautionary thing....And anyone who knows me knows how I feel about abortion...

I have no opinion on Pat Robertson...but I do have to say that you are NOT faster than me...

When are you considered pregnant? Most people claim it is the instant fertilization occurs... I will post some quotes from pat robertson here in a day or two.

I am torn on this particular type of thing...but I lean towards being against it (I am not against all birth control methods).

I think that men should have some say in the matter.

It's myheritage.com

I think the family part is being "developed" or something, but the celeb thing works.

You should be proud that you don't update very often; I'm embarassed at how much I do. I love blogging, though; no one can tell me to shut up! Complete freedom.

Yeah, well my dignity is still lost.

we've already discussed this at work so i'm not gonna comment on the morning after pill. but i am gonna comment on the fact that...sorry cole but sam is faster than you.

I dont think it is abortion. It is just a safer way than waiting until you are 3 or 4 months along and it is a viable fetus and then killing it. That would be murder. I dont think it is any different than birth control.

I'd only consider it a life if there was a heart beating and that only happens at day 13 or so.

Also...just because you aren't a woman does not mean that this "life" which is forming does not mean much to you..because life only starts due to conception which can ONLY happen between TWO people, and it is 50/50. Though in society woman are usually "stuck" with it..cuz yah it's growing inside them...

You should do a condom commercial Jr. The morning after pill is pretty much the same thing as the birth control pill, just a stronger dose. Atleast that is how I understand it.
Aty, all he did was tell you his opinion, don't be gullible, and decide what you believe on the matter on your own, fuck what everyone else thinks on it. I personally would have force fed you that morning after pill if I were that guy....
