Plan B a sin?

Question

Just wondering. Is taking Plan b or the morning after pill a sin the same as abortion. Don't know whether to take it or not?

Answer 1

How do emergency contraception/morning-after pills work?

The emergency contraceptive/morning-after pill has three possible ways in which it can work (as does the regular birth control pill):

1. Ovulation is inhibited, meaning the egg will not be released;
2. The normal menstrual cycle is altered, delaying ovulation; or
3. It can irritate the lining of the uterus so that if the first and second actions fail, and the woman does become pregnant, the human being created will die before he or she can actually attach to the lining of the uterus.

In other words, if the third action occurs, her body rejects the living human embryo, and the child will die. This result is a chemical abortion. (Abortion is an act of direct killing that takes the life of a living preborn human being—a life that begins at fertilization.)

As this states it can cause an abortion. I would not recommend taking it because you can be at risk as well. Bleeding, later miscarriages and sometimes inhibits you from getting pregnant when you desire to be.
If you chose to sleep with someone out of marriage, you too know that is a sin- and there are consequences to sin , as I am sure that you know. I would not take the Morning after pill.

Answer 2

If you believe that abortion is a sin, then it follows that Plan B would be a no-no IF you actually conceived a child, which of course, you can't know...it's possible that the egg was not fertilized and by taking the morning after pill, all you're doing is making your period come early. But if the sperm and the egg did get together, you would be terminating the pregnancy after conception. Personally, I don't equate Plan B with abortion because there's absolutely no possibility that the child has any consciousness yet so there is no cruelty involved and for me that is a big deal. But if you believe life begins at conception and that's the bottom line, then I wouldn't do it so you can be sure your conscience is clear. :)

Answer 3

Adore Him above is wrong.

Plan B is not an abortative, any producer of it will tell you that. Plan B cannot stop a pregnancy. All Plan B is is a massive dose of the same hormone of a regular birth control pill. If an egg is fertilized, it travels down the fallopian tube and implants on the blood lineing on the uterine wall, which nourishes it so it can grow. Plan B merely prevents implanting of a fertilized egg (note, not even yet a zygote) on the uterine wall, a process which happens to about 50% of all fertilized eggs anyway. If an egg is implanted upon the uterine wall, and then the body reacts giving off certain hormones to initate it's growth, triggering pregnancy, Plan B will do nothing. Once pregnancy starts, Plan B cannot prevent it from continuing, hence it is not an abortative. Plan B can only stop a woman from becomming pregnant, not end a pregnancy. It is not, like the above says, a chemical abortion.

Answer 4

Hi, me again. I have to admit I'm confused about it. The first thing I read just said it prevents you from becoming pregnant. If that is the case then it's not a sin. It would be the same as using birth control pills or a condom. The next thing I read is that it prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the wall of your uterus. If that's the case then I think I would consider it to be a form of abortion because the egg is already fertilized, therefore the start of a human life. I wouldn't take the pill. If you really don't want to be pregnant start praying now! Maybe God will help you out, if not he wants to bless your life with a child. I hope the best for you.

Answer 5

I don't think it's a sin. You would be better off to use a latex device, for health reasons but the morning after pill is way better than abortion.

Answer 6

Morning after pills act before implantation, so they're definitely contraception. They're just higher-dosage versions of standard birth control pills.

RU48 acts after implantation, so that one is an abortofacient.

Answer 7

Is forced pregnancy a sin?

Answer 8

it's not a sin. it prevents implantation, but abortion is also not murder.

Answer 9

It´s not sin.If you don´t want that child you should take the pill.No children Shouldn't born unwanted.
