Researchers are advocating for<\/a> the development of an \u201cafter-sex contraceptive pill\u201d that could be used to abort four-week-old human embryos.<\/p>\n

Dr. Elizabeth Raymond of the New York technology firm Gynuity and collaborators at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden claim in the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care<\/em> that this early abortion pill would be popular with women because it would reduce the need for contraception to prevent pregnancy and allow for more abortions as birth control.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Raymond:<\/p>\n

We need to stop extolling pre-fertilisation contraception as a good thing, because it implies that something that works after fertilisation is bad. We have to stop doing that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, \u201clet\u2019s stop acting like abortion is a worse form of birth control than hormonal contraception.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A contraceptive that \u201cworks\u201d after fertilization causes abortions, because it ends the life of a whole, distinct, living human being, regardless of whether that human is newly conceived and hasn\u2019t implanted or whether that human is a four-week-old embryo.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u2026 It could be taken at the end of every month and would be so powerful it could prevent a pregnancy that resulted from sex nearly four weeks earlier.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Preventing pregnancy and ending pregnancy are very different matters. If a four-week-old embryo is growing inside his or her mother\u2019s womb, his or her life will be ended, not prevented, by a \u201cpost-sex contraceptive\u201d pill. It\u2019s misleading to claim that aborting a young human embryo is the same thing as preventing conception.<\/p>\n

The Guardian reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The authors of the paper in the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care<\/em>, part of the British Medical Journal group, would like to see funding for exploratory work on a post-sex pill, which they anticipate would be similar to the morning-after pill but used routinely and potentially as rarely as once a month or only after the woman has missed a period.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The type of pill for which Dr. Raymond and her colleagues are campaigning would be similar to the morning-after pill in that it could cause early abortions and poses numerous health risks to women<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Abortion advocates\u2019 euphemisms are no substitute for the truth. Calling a pill that aborts a month-old pre-born child a \u201cpost-sex contraceptive\u201d doesn’t change the fact that the pill would be killing a person, not preventing conception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
