Does taking a morning after pill equals abortion?

Question

Does taking a morning after pill equals abortion?

Answer 1

no, it has not attached to the wall, it is not a baby or fetus or embryo even

if i can remember right, its called a blastocyst at that time, meaning it is just 200 cells big and yet to implant

Answer 2

The "morning after pill" does have the potential to cause an early chemical abortion without you ever knowing it. It can work in two ways:

1. By attempting to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg), preventing pregnancy.
2. By changing the lining of the womb to prevent a newly conceived human being from implanting in the womb, causing his or her death at 5-9 days old.

When the morning after pill is taken, there is no way to tell which mechanism came into play. For more information, see:

Some claim that the pill only "prevents pregnancy," but this is only because there has been a move to change the definition of the beginning of pregnancy from fertilization to implantation. This is scientifically dishonest. Even medical textbooks recognize that life begins at fertilization:

From the moment of fertilization, we are human, we are alive, and we are growing. Killing innocent human beings at any point is wrong.

Thanks for the good question.

Answer 3

the morning after pill stops implantation. It does not stop fertilization. It depends on your definition of abortion. Some people believe that stopping the implantation of a fertilized egg is abortion, others don't believe it's a child until it's implanted.

Answer 4

I haven't heard much about the "After pill." but I think it would be abortion. I don't know why anyone would trust something like that. Don't have sex but if you do then use a the pills or raincoat and you won't have to worry about getting pregnant.

Answer 5

NO, if read the insert that comes with the pills it will tell you that if you have already conceived the pills will do no harm to the fetus, the only thing the pills do is make you start your period.

Answer 6

I think so - but I am a fanatical pro-lifer. I guess if you are going to do it, it is better to take a pill the morning after, than to wait and kill a baby who has a heartbeat.

Answer 7

Nope. Morning after pill prevents pregnancy before it happens. Abortion kills baby after it has been implanted and has started to grow.

Answer 8

No, you only have 72 hours to take it and a baby can not be delevoped in that time
The sperm takes about 7 days to make its way to the egg! The morning after pill just kills the sperm.

Im totally against abortion and it breaks my heart to hear about it!

The morning after pill prevents a pregnancy, abortion is killing a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

no, the "morning after" pill (which, coincidently, works up to 72 hours after having unprotected sex.) simply makes it so that nothing can attach to the inner wall of your uterus for that amount of time.

however, the best bet is to use trusted birth control methods so that you don't have to go through this expensive and sometime ill-making method.

Answer 10

You're going to get a lot of different opinions about that.

But, I'm Catholic, and for Catholics (who follow the edicts of the Pope) it does equate to abortion.
