is morning after a abortifacient? medical experts and politicians are still debating.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote:
n January 2000, France decided to dispense morning-after pills in junior and high schools by school nurses without prescription, because of high rates of undesired pregnancies among teenaged girls; after strong opposition from the Catholic Church, and much debate around the fact the teenager could later suffer from the doubt of not knowing whether fertilization had occurred or not, the decision was overruled by a court in July 2000. The French parliament changed the relevant law in October 2000 and now school nurses are again able to dispense the drugs. The pill NorLevo is now available in France without prescription, without parent authorization and for free for teenagers under the age of 18 since the 9th of January 2002 to insure urgency contraception.
Quote:
For those who hold that pregnancy begins at implantation, the morning-after pill prevents pregnancy. Those who hold that pregnancy begins at conception classify this prevention of implantion as an abortion in cases where fertilization has already occurred. Medically, the morning-after pill is not classified as an abortifacient, since medically that term relates only to an established pregnancy where implantation has already occurred.
there is still a wide misconception about how exactly the pill stops the pregnancy. are people being vioxed?
