The Morning-After Pill

Not always.

Pregnancy occurs at fertilization.  If the woman has ovulated at the time of the sexual activity, an egg is present awaiting the sperm from the male.  Fertilization can take place in as little as 30 minutes after intercourse.  The newly formed embryonic human begins his life by traveling down the fallopian tube toward the uterus.

 Plan B – is a series of pills taken within 2 hours of sexual intercourse; the first pill right after intercourse and the 2nd pill 12 hours later.

Plan B One Step – is one larger dose of the powerful drug.

If conception has taken place the Morning After Pill becomes an abortifacient:

-Slows the transport of the embryonic human through the fallopian tube increasing the chance of a very dangerous eptopic pregnancy

-Hardens the lining of the uterus so that the embryonic human cannot implant:  thus causing an abortion

If conception has NOT taken place, this powerful drug was taken for nothing

 -Nausea and vomiting (50% of the time)

-Increased chance of eptopic pregnancy (tubal pregnancy poses a grave threat to both mother and child)

-Can be abortifacient
