Quote From: nscrchickThat is a good question. One I have pondered. I was always under the impression that the "morning after pill" was basically equivalent to an abortion. In fact, I work in a hospital pharmacy and I have refused to take the "morning after pill" down to the ER. I said I couldn't do it because I did not want to in any way shape or form be involved in the death of a baby.
There is actually 2 different "after" pills. There is the "morning after pill" (not available in this country legally) and "emergency contraception." My pharmacist explained it this way:
The morning after pill will expell an embryo, will abort the baby.
The emergency contraception will prevent the fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine wall. And it may be taken up to 3 days later. They are actually birth control pills, just taken in a larger dose.
Don't know if this helps, but man it has raised some questions for me. I have been on B.C.P. for 19 years. And I am now in a serious dilemma. To me it would seem that stopping a fertilized egg from implanting may be the same as killing it. Oh God. Oh God. Oh boy, I need to do some more research on this, if I have to live with the thought that I may have unknowingly killed and unborn baby of mine...OH GOD
Well, with many of the posts gone now, I have been given the rare opportunity to read this post. Coincidence? Incidently, I have been thinking about doctors' conscience protections- that Bush enstated just days before leaving office- for two days now because Obama has recently begun the process of removing them...

How will this effect you and your family? Removing doctors' protections will force good doctors out of practice, severely limiting your health care choices and consequently effect the quality of health care. President Obama needs to know that he is not responsible to the abortion industry, but rather to the American people and we should not be forced to put the health and well being of our families in the hands of doctors who do not value human life. Fortunately, the president plans to spend the next month listening to the public's opinion on doctors' right to conscience, and in less than one minute, you can send President Obama a message telling him that you do not want your health care choices limited to a selection of butchers...

If you don't speak up, you can bet that abortion advocates will gladly do it for you!
This post has touched on one of the reasons for why women deserve doctors with a conscience. For more information about how Obama's policies on health care hurt women...
