So, how about a single move that could reduce abortions by 50% in one fell swoop? A report at the NARAL site cites a 1992 source as saying that over the counter availability of "Emergency Contraceptive" or "Morning After" pills could do just that. Heck even if it was 5% percent I'd be in favor of it. Remember that MAP is not abortion because the woman is not yet pregnant, or it wouldn't work.

By the technical definition of pregnancy the woman might not be pregnant. However I can't think of any moral signifigance to implantation. Conception is when a new life form starts. I understand that the "morning after pill" sometimes works by preventing ovulation rather then by preventing implantation but I would think that this would be 50% or less of the cases that it is used.
