<<Unlike Mifeprex or mifepristone, previously known as RU-486, which can induce an abortion safely during the first 49 days of pregnancy, morning-after pills do not cause abortion, advocates say. They prevent the ovulation that leads to pregnancy or stop a fertilized egg from implanting in a woman's uterus, events that take place before medical experts believe pregnancy begins. >>

Agreed. I have little problem with abortion. I do have a problem with a caviler taking of medication with out some form of medical intervention moreso if the possible problems are not fully known.

I understood what you were responding to. Somebody else was confusing the issue.

The issue in the article that Karen posted was about making morning after pills OTC, e.g.available without a doctor's prescription.
