Sat, 06 Feb 2010 19:24:27 +0000 http://www.prowomanprolife.org/?p=8286#comment-5197 I think it's fair to say that all hormonal contraceptives potentially act as abortifacients as one of their 3 mechanisms. As I understand it, the early Pill was the least likely to act in this way, as it was stronger-dosed than today's Pill/other contraception, which is more likely to act as an implantation-inhibitor.

Now, I'm no fan of Plan B, and I certainly question the wisdom of letting a pill that has these levels of hormones be available without talking to at least a pharmacist. But I do wonder why a pharmacy on a military base wouldn't be stocked with approximately the same drugs as a pharmacy in the USA.

However, as the morning-after pill/plan B/whatever-you-choose-to-call-it causes an abortion (very, very early in the pregnancy, but still an abortion, and just as much of an abortion as a later one, in that it kills a life just as much as a later abortion kills a life), we have to call into question whether an abortion is a reasonable response to (specifically) a sexual assault, or (more globally) to a culture of sexual assault. I would put forth the argument that it is a band-aid solution, and a poor one at that. @Amanda:

It prevents an already conceived life from implanting in her/his mother's womb. Also, from what I have read it seems that it's not the world's safest drug anyway.

I've got to say, it doesn't really make sense to me why it would have been restricted in the first place. I mean, there is already an entire arsenal of birth control options out there, what is really the big deal about adding one more? Isn’t plan B a fairly common drug?
