how can people claim that plan b is not an abortifacient?
Since the manufacturer says that Plan B can work by preventing implantation of an embryo, they appear to rely on recent re-definitions of conception, pregnancy and abortion.
According to the new definitions of some pro-choice groups, conception and pregnancy begin at implantation rather than at fertilization and abortion is the termination of a post-impantation pregnancy.
The drug makers can then claim that their statements are true under these new definitions, however, according to scientific fact, human life begins at fertilization with the first cell division.
Another confusing statement is that Plan B "does not harm the fetus." This is true as the fetal stage does not begin until eight weeks after fertilization and there is no evidence that the pill harms a human being after it has implanted in the uterus, which occurs during the second week.
