<\/div>

Amazon has recently made the morning-after pill Plan B, a so-called emergency contraceptive, available online<\/a>. For about $20, anyone can have an abortion-inducing drug with high doses of contraceptive hormones shipped right to their door step. (And when we say “anyone,” that includes statutory rapists<\/a> who want to use the drug on young victims without their consent<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

On the other hand, to obtain low-dose hormonal birth control pills, you’ll have to schedule a doctor’s appointment, be examined, and obtain a prescription. According to Students for Life of America<\/a>, an organization working to expose the dangers and victimizing potential of Plan B’s unrestricted availability:<\/p>\n

Despite being more powerful than the birth control pill (which requires a doctor’s exam) the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved “Plan B” (the morning after pill) for sale “behind the counter,” to anyone 17 and older in 2009. Following the order of a U.S. District Court Judge in April of 2013, the FDA announced this June that the drug should be sold “over the counter,” on store shelves, to anyone of any age.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Plan B has a few modes of operation, primarily to stop ovulation from occurring and leading to fertilization. However,\u00a0<\/i>this is not Plan B’s sole mode of operation. The drug — and all other forms of emergency contraception — not only<\/a> prevent pregnancies — it has the potential –according to current<\/strong><\/a> research– to\u00a0end\u00a0<\/em>them as well. If fertilization occurs before the ingestion of Plan B, the drug has abortifacient qualities which will cause the woman’s body to expel a newly-conceived\u00a0human embryo.<\/p>\n

As we’ve discussed in the past, the abortion movement and its ilk have devised semantic games<\/a> (which have gotten more elaborate<\/a> with time) to circumvent the reality of this fact. They argue that “pregnancy” doesn’t exist until after an embryo implants in its mother’s uterus (which is false<\/a>), and therefore, Plan B can’t\u00a0<\/em>be an abortifacient. One of the sellers<\/a> even states that the drug “will not harm an existing pregnancy.”<\/p>\n

But the facts of science are inescapable: the FDA itself slapped a warning right onto the drug saying that it has the ability to cause an abortion<\/a> (specifically, it “may inhibit implantation”).\u00a0Spanish language marketing for the drug on Amazon is also deceptive. It lists the drug as a “piladora de emergencia para evitar un embarazo” — an emergency pill to avoid<\/em> pregnancy. There is no mention of its modes of operation, including its ability to cause abortion, in English or Spanish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
