Does Plan B = Abortion?

[David Floyd]

So last night, in a "rare" instance of poor decision making, I had unprotected drunk sex. Fortunately I know she's clean, but the most undesirable STD of all - children - was still a possibility. Fortunately, I talked her into going 50/50 on the Plan B pill this morning, so all is good.

But it got me thinking. Do people who oppose abortion consider Plan B to be the same thing as abortion?

Discuss.

I do... murderer



oh, and congrats on getting some

Abortion overwhelmingly occurs among the poor and stupid and helps prevent genes like Floyd's from spreading, but that does not make it right

DOES ANYONE know whether you can eat animal testicles or is that something that only happens in movies?

[DanS]

Yes, Plan B is an abortifacient. That's the whole point of the drug. In rare instances, the pill is also an abortifacient.

You can.

[Al B. Sure!]

You're such an *******, Dave.

[David Floyd]

For what? Doing the responsible thing and helping pay for Plan B?

[Thoth]

Plan B = abortion, but abortion = win so

[Al B. Sure!]

Don't worry, David. In some locales in this country, your tax dollars go to making abortions affordable for poor women. You could always be doing the responsible thing and paying for it.

Hmm, glad to see I win my bet with you.

That took, what? A month?

You'll regret this later on.

Yep, we sure do. Plan B is an abortifacient. It hardens the endometrium to prevent implantation. It does not prevent contraception.

How about not getting yourself into these binds in the first place? If you don't want to have kids with the girl, why are you forcing her to take plan B? Have her put the kiddo up for adoption.

You do know that women have died from plan B before, don't you?

[Al B. Sure!]

I say the most responsible thing would have been to not have unprotected drunk sex.

[Ben Kenobi]

That too, but we all know how careful Floyd is. He's said that nothing bad will happen to him because he picks 'clean' women.

Maybe you can join in the pool, Speer.

More women have died giving birth than have been killed by alleged reactions to plan B or alleged botched abortions.
