"Seems like the egg may indeed get fertilized, thereby starting the whole cycle of life."

Same is true of regular birth control pills. There is still a chance that ovulation can occur. If so, those other factors you cite come into play.

You continue to miss the point...as believed to work, the odds of fertilization are lowest if you take Plan B immediately...in other words, if you are having sex, and your partner's condom breaks, or a woman is raped, or for whatever other unplanned reason you believe your chances of pregnancy are greatest, the odds of Plan B acting on a fertilized egg INCREASE as time passes. What is it about this that you don't get? For pete's sake, an 18 year old can buy alcohol and tobacco in most states...

See...you started arguing from a medical POV, and invariably went to the morality of the matter...all the while accusing me of politicizing the issue.

One FDA vote, and that's it. "The FDA voted for it." Yeah, you're a real "expert."


LOL...The FDA chose not to follow the vote of its medical panel...twice...do you understand? The medical panel's lead physician quit her post in frustration. She happens to be a woman by the way...the male dominated theo-assholes lobbied the FDA to achieve a historical first...this has never happened before...geez...
