I cant believe it, As much as I hate to agree with her I do agree about Plan B. I think it is great that it is being sold over the counter. What does this mean?? Is the world coming to an end ? LOL

I feel like as much as it shouldnt be needed it is. Have you seen the number of abortions performed each year? Stagering, to say the least. If you know the risk of getting aids or another disease and a person would still have unprotected sex this pill will have very little influence on what they would've done anyway! Girls are getting pregnant all the time and not having this pill will only infuence many to have abortions.

hehe.
People say "You should have used birth control to prevent the pregnancy". Well Emergency Contraception IS birth control.
Birth Control prevents pregnancy, and so does Emergency contraception.
Just because somebody has sex doesn't mean they will get pregnant immediately. It takes a few days so yes, emergency contraception IS birth control. It prevents the pregnancy.
People are so uneducated and ignorant today. They don't even know what emergency contraception is yet they debate over it.
It is NOT abortion because it does not terminate a pregnancy.
Once again, is PREVENTS pregnancy from occuring. It IS in fact a form of birth control and should remain over the counter.

Differences between the morning-after pill and the abortion pill, which are different drugs:
The morning-after pill prevents pregnancy but has no effect if a woman already is pregnant. Sold under the brand name Plan B, it's a higher-than-normal dose of a hormone found in regular birth-control pills and prevents ovulation or fertilization of an egg. It also may prevent the egg from implanting into the uterus, the medical definition of pregnancy, but recent research suggests that's not likely.
The abortion pill, RU-486 or Mifeprex, can terminate pregnancy up to 49 days after the beginning of the last menstrual cycle. It's a two-pill process. First is Mifeprex, which blocks production of a hormone required to sustain pregnancy. Then a second medicine, misoprostol, to cause contractions and finish the abortion.
The morning after pill is not abortion, I think a lot of people are getting it confused with the Mifeprex pill, which does cause an abortion. It takes time for the embryo to actually be concieved. The morning after pill prevents the sperm from ever coming into contact with the egg at all. If it never comes into contact, there is no life.
I am pro-life, but I don't see the Plan B pill as an abortion, because it's purpose is to totally prevent pregnancy in the first place. I don't believe that women should use this as a regular form of birth control, however. It is dangerous, because the pill has an extremely high dose of hormones, and it does not protect against STDs.

The world is not coming to an end. Everyone is entitled to there own opinion. Of course since you have answered my question you know i am against it totally. Birth control is intend to prevent someone from getting pregnant, the morning after is a form of abortion. Every one feels different and that is OK you are aloud too. I just wanted to see what people were thinking when i asked my question. I just think it being there for people to buy they will not think twice about the one night stand there about to have and the teens will say hey there is a pill i can take if i am that worried. I think parents need to teach there kids more about sex and the things that can happen.
