You're right. You didn't mention souls, sanctity or even babies. I just mentioned themes from both sides as discussion we could avoid. It was meant as a semi-joke, as in let's not go there.

You're right again. We haven't discussed banning MAP, you and I. I expressed my preference for MAP over other remedies, regardless of whether implantation is significant or not..

On average, if 100 women have unprotected intercourse once during the second or third week of their cycle, 8 will become pregnant. Following treatment with combined ECPs, 2 will become pregnant (a 75% reduction in the risk of pregnancy); Of those six who would have become pregnant, 3 or 50% of the remainder (your number) would avoid through ovulation prevention, 3 through failure to implant.

100 MAP doses
3 fertilizations have been prevented.
3 impregnations/implantations have been prevented.
2 women will be faced with a further choice.

The 3 less fertilizations would at least seem like a good thing. If you think they would be likely to have an abortion anyhow, why is that not preferable to later procedures? Are you hoping to net some number of babies? I ask this in all sincerity.
