Do you think that the Plan B pill is just as bad as an Abortion? Are you for or against either one of them?

Question

Do you think that a baby is a human at the moment of conception? or when they are actually born? Do you think abortion is right or wrong? Do you think the morning after pill is just as bad as abortion? I am just curious what others think of this....Thanks for all your answers!!

Answer 1

i don't think i would ever take plan b. i was on the pill tho. it is a baby at conception and abortion is wrong. i haven't really researched plan b... so i don't know if it kills what was already made. i thought you took it after sex so the sperm wouldn't have time to make it to the egg yet? i 'm not sure but to me it sounds like a bad thing.

Answer 2

I think if you really are against having a baby you are better off using the plan b. I am against abortion but the plan b I believe eliminates the egg before there is implatation thus there is no conception. I do believe that as soon as there is a spark of life then the baby is a human. But if the plan b is taken right after a rape or unprotected sex then more then likely conception hasn't even occured..it can take awhile for the sperm to get to the egg and fertilize it. Like up to a couple of days! (hey they come from a guy, they don't ask directions lol)

Answer 3

The Plan B pill is just more or less, a high dose of birth control pill. (For instance, four "yellow" pills of the Triphasil brand birth control pill at once was FDA approved at one point to do the same thing.)

Many birth control pills, in fact, will do (to a lesser degree) the same thing, besides just interrupting ovulation (release of an egg for possible fertilization). They will affect the lining of the uterus so the egg would have a harder time implanting, should it have been fertilized. Plan B is just a higher dose that tries to make sure the lining is changed and the egg can't implant.

Because of this, some still argue it is abortion (albeit a very very early one) and will in fact try to convince you that Plan B harms you. As long as it is NOT taken frequently, it won't, and the side effect (nausea, headache, etc.) are no worse than some will experience when starting the birth control pill. Many will have none at all.

I am pro-choice either way, so Plan B is much preferable to actually having to abort once the egg has already started developing into a baby. Do I think abortion is a wonderful choice to make? No, of course not--and counter to much pro-life propaganda--most pro-choicers don't. However, I think having a child is just too important a decision to be left to chance or viewed a "consequence." (Talk about irreverence for life!) It HAS to be a 100% voluntary decision.

I used to be pro-life, VERY pro-life, and I believed that yes, at conception, there is a person there, albeit a very rudimentary one. (What else would it be?) I still believe this, and that it is an incredible miracle. But so is how nature works in general, and in time, the reality of unwanted pregnancy and the reality of PARENTHOOD itself kicked in. I started thinking about more than this idealistic thought of, "It's a life." Isn't the death penalty destroying a life? Isn't shooting someone in self-defense a life? Weren't all the people stranded in Katrina (for a non-killing example) human lives? The point is, we make decisions to value one life or lives over another/others all the time, both legally and personally.

What got to me most, in the end, was the often hypocrital stance of the pro-life movement. Many of the hardcore from that group (remember, I was part of it) see it as a punishment, a "consequence" for wrong-doing. Should these people have been more careful/not been having sex at all? Perhaps, perhaps not. But we do not live in an ideal world, and like it or not, the reality of a mistake still has to be dealt with. Should we not have locks on our doors because people shouldn't steal? Should we not have our police carry guns because they could hurt someone potentially innocent? Of course not. This, though obviously more emotionally charged, is no different.

Moreover, many times, this demographic tends to be the first to condemn a single mother (and sometimes even child for being born out of wedlock or poor), or vote against programs helping "those people." How is THAT respecting a life? Where is the love there? What are all these people who want the baby to be born so badly doing to actually HELP those children they so deeply care about? Before they can talk the talk, I'd like to see them walk the walk.

I am adopted myself. I could have been aborted. Do I like living? Am I glad my mother chose to go through with the pregnancy? Sure. But the reality is, if my mother had not chosen to, it would have been over for me in minutes. And the reality is, I would never have known the difference.

Truth be told, the deep suffering and perceived slight about abortion is on the part of people who have nothing to do with the pregnancy that is terminated (law-makers, pro-life advocates, etc). Abortion, Plan B, and family planning HAS to stay the choice of the ones most involved, the parents, particularly the mother.

Don't believe in abortion? Don't want to have one? Don't. Pro-choice is about THE CHOICE.

Answer 4

i often wondered about the plan b pill and want it actually is and what it does. most people think its an abortion pill, i thought that for so long, but its not
what i read about it was plan b is like a huge does on a birth control pill. it does NOT terminate a pregnancy which is a fertilized egg that has implanted in the uterus. what it dose, just like taking birth control is it can possibily stop the egg from ovualting if it already hasnt or it can possibily keep it from implanting by thinning the cervix. so its like last minite birth control pill. if the egg is alreadly been implanted then it does nothing

i am against abortion and thought the plan b pill was a form of it, but after researching online i found out it not.

Answer 5

Well plan b is the same as birth control, it is just higher dose. I think a baby isnt actully a baby untill it has devloped past a cell into a fetus, which doesnt happen for a few weeks. I dont think useing plan b is the same as haveing an abortion because you are just keep a cell from implanting, not ripping out a formed child.

Answer 6

The morning after pill simply stops conception from occuring , it is NOT abortion. I am not for or against abortion. I would not get one but I realize that things happen in this world as we are all human and make mistakes. A rape victim or a 13 year old should not have to have life forever altered because they had something done to them that they could'nt control.

Answer 7

Honestly don't think Plan B is bad. The only thing negative I could say about it is the feelings the person may have after taking it, whether she experiences physical discomfort/side effects or emotional trauma. The woman has a strong burden to create life on this earth. The least we can do is give her a chance to live that life and a bit more control over what to do with something a man puts the tiniest bit of effort into.

Answer 8

Plan B is an emergency contraceptive. It does not abort a fetus or a fertilized egg, it just helps to ensure you get a high dosage of birth control preventing pregnancy. Most people don't understand this, because all they want to hear is about "whorish" women who don't want babies and judge them.

Its a good thing women have access to abortions and a secondary form of birth control. Are we just meant to breed? Can we not make decisions on our bodies under our own circumstances?

If you don't want an abortion don't have one. If you have a baby, spoil it every second you can.

Answer 9

No i think it is fine to have and i dont see anything wrong with it.

I believe abortion is considered abortion when the baby/fetus has a heart beat!!
