The morning-after pill

[klb084]

Omg, sensitivity overload! A newly fertilized egg does not have emotions, therefore no sadness of not getting to live. It does not have nerve endings. It cannot feel. It also cannot breathe, eat, drink, or even think! Plan B is better than getting an abortion after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Get a grip. Human beings are funny creatures indeed. We have more sympathy for the unborn than those that are walking among us that are suffering.

This is why people should be licensed to procreate! It's a mass of cells that are, for all intents and purposes, blank. Stem cells.

[grizzzlyjoe]

@RadarKat73080 "Blank?" not quite ... it's DNA sequence is unique to one in one quadrillion. That's the problem.

The chances of 'you being you' are astro-freakin'-nomical. If nothing else, abortion is like taking a winning lottery ticket away from the winner.

I'm neither "Pro-Choice" nor "Pro-Life" ... I'm a male, and have no dog in this fight. Just sayin', is all.

[RadarKat73080]

@grizzzlyjoe I mean the cells haven't been designated. It has no brain or nerves as yet, most abortions a preformed before the embryo can feel or think. Maybe not directly, but even a partial ban on abortions may cost women's lives. Any loss of freedom costs us all; "They came for the Jews and I didn't speak up, for I wasn't a Jew...."

The morning after pill does cause ectopic pregnancy I nearly died last year from using it so I beg anyone that reads this DONT use the morning after pill

[dahn901215]

According to medical definition, abortion is terminating a pregnancy. And according to medical definition, pregnancy starts with the nidation of fertilized ovule in the endometrium of uterus. The morning after pill only works if the nidation hasn't happened yet, therefore when it works, there is no pregnancy started yet.

This means that emergency contraception = NOT AN ABORTION.

Not doing any sex crap ever

[kilakili1]

Bullshit this video! The Plan B pill is not a murder pill or anything like it. Have in mind that a life starts once the zygote is implanted in the uterus, and this pill prevents such a zygote to be implanted on first place. If we talk about interrupting whatever is going on in the uterus once the fertilize egg is implanted then it's murder! Ugh.

[romanceandsparkles]

@kilakili1 Life starts at conception

[wakincloud]

This clip is misleading.

[SummerBellify]

Bullshit right there.

Murder my ass, HA! yeah right -.-

[helfini1]

bullshit its not murder you have obviously never been in the situation yourself

[helfini1]

bullshit its not murder

[3blah7blah6]

Why are you trying to make it sound like the pill is a super bad thing??? It has its pros and cons...it's not like we take it because we feel like killing something but because we're not perfect and we make mistakes and we want to avoid all the problems that come with having a baby that we're not ready for. (Not being able to properly and fully take care of a baby can be just as bad as killing a baby.) This is life...shit happens.

[zuri4rmlaredo]

First study up on your embriology and then you can comment

[madattak12]

murdered?! thats so harsh

[shideeder]

the morning after pill is not abortion it's a life saver. honestly! lady... pull your head out of the bible and use your brain!

[SuperDaveTV]

"murdered"? get over yourself.

[juliewashere88]

troll

[MilitantlyVegan]

"Zygote" not "Zigote."

[forevab1]

Great!! Now there's Plan B

[MyrtleMessmer]

This pill is great! You can make a mistake, and still have a chance to avoid an abortion!

[Kayelle1980]

It's not even about mistakes: condoms can slip or break. This pill is a lifesaver!

[Kayelle1980]

@hdeverglades How many of these did I pop? Two - and I'll pop as many as I need to. I pity your, for your fear of hell. I have no such fear or worry. My life is here on earth, and I will not have that be ruined by unwanted children, especially if they can easily be prevented. Oh, and it's the same boy I'm fucking, dear. Just because you're in a relationship, doesn't mean you want it ruined by brats.BTW, anal sex is awesome - but I like variation, so I won't be giving up regular sex - kthanksbye!

[scentedhoneysuckle]

Actually what you're acheiving with this pill it's a very early miscarriage, so it could be correctly called abortion. Sorry to pop your dream.

[MyrtleMessmer]

No need for remorse -- you're wrong, honey. It doesn't work if you're pregnant. It prevents ovulation. Maybe you've mixed it up with Mifeprex.

[scentedhoneysuckle]

No darling, I'm definitely not wrong. High doses of progesteron (levonorgestrel in Plan B) have many effects on the whole body: on the uterus they inhibit the proliferation of endometrial cells. This means the embryo cannot implant itself on the uterus walls. Mifepristone is not progesteron: it's a molecule that occupies the receptor of progesteron and pevents the placenta to form. In fact progesteron, AFTER the implant, helps the embryo to stay there and develop. Hope i explained myself.

[MyrtleMessmer]

Well, you explained your delusion. But that's not proof. Can you point to one study that shows that levonorgestrel prevents implantation?

[romanceandsparkles]

@MyrtleMessmer The pill has an abortive effect. Did you even listen to that video

[MyrtleMessmer]

@romanceandsparkles Oh, well, if a youtube video states something, IT MUST BE TRUE! That's just as good as science! God, what an idiot you are. If you want some actual MEDICAL INFORMATION, google "Plan B and the Politics of Doubt" in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

[romanceandsparkles]

@MyrtleMessmer

I'm not basing my fact on the video, I was pointing out what the video said.

(triple w)(dot)chastity(dot)com/chasti­ty-qa/birth-control/methods/mo­rning-after-pill-plan-b-

Check out those stats. They are real citations. That is actual medical information.

[MyrtleMessmer]

@romanceandsparkles Several of those citations, however, refer to Essure, which works differently from Plan B. Very sloppy job on chastity.com.

[romanceandsparkles]

@MyrtleMessmer Only one citation refers to that

[MyrtleMessmer]

@romanceandsparkles The article on chastitydotcom is embarrassingly unprofessional. Some of the references refer to Essure, some refer to the Yuzpe regimen. I thought we were talking about Plan B? Plus, the author of the article takes outrageous liberties in interpreting the journal articles. For instance, when EC's effects on implantation, the article says " The drug is still able to work because it alters the lining of the uterus so that it can reject the implantation of the baby." Baby?

[MyrtleMessmer]

@romanceandsparkles However, the article cited that supposedly supports the claim about "rejecting the baby," ACTUALLY states: "Finally, it is well known that OC use decreases the thickness of the endometrium as verified by magnetic resonance imaging scans and a thinner endometrium makes implantation more difficult. Because hormonal EC consists of hormones contained within OCs, it is possible that the use of hormonal EC has some of the same effects on the endometrium." IT IS POSSIBLE.

[MyrtleMessmer]

No baby, no rejection, no certainty that emergency contraception has any effect on post-fertilization effects. Those fools at chastitydotcom cited an article that doesn't support their statement! I will pray for them to grow a critical brain.

[romanceandsparkles]

@MyrtleMessmer Please would you be respectful towards their religion

[MyrtleMessmer]

@romanceandsparkles Just as soon as they be respectful toward women.

[romanceandsparkles]

@MyrtleMessmer It's that kind of attitude - the "I will if you will" - that makes society rude. Somebody has to step up and raise the bar of courtesy.

These people are respectful toward women AND their babies.

[MyrtleMessmer]

@romanceandsparkles I don't really find you to have a courteous spirit, yourself. Look at the log in your eye.

[romanceandsparkles]

@MyrtleMessmer Alright, sorry. I really am. That probably sounded sarcastic but it wasn't meant to be

[romanceandsparkles]

@MyrtleMessmer Even if Plan B doesn't always cause an abortion (which I believe is true, it doesn't always), don't you think that it is still wrong because of the way it allows us to use sex?

[MyrtleMessmer]

@romanceandsparkles Certainly not! Do you think EVERY sex act should result in a baby?

[Kayelle1980]

@romanceandsparkles No, why would it be wrong. It's friggin' awesome. I can't even dare to imagine what it must have been like for our great-grandmothers, always living in fear of pregnancy!

[romanceandsparkles]

@Kayelle1980 Now I ask you, why is pregnancy something to fear or be ashamed of? Bringing a new life into this world is a wonderful gift!

[MisterNickOtine]

@romanceandsparkles that's exactly what frau hitler said.
