More Lee Time For Sexual Slips
February 1, 2010 1 Comment
The most effective morning after pill has hit the market.
You can pop it five days after unprotected sex.
But anti-abortion advocates warn that this delay means that the pill doesn’t stop a pregnancy, it terminates it.
If taken regularly, within 72 hours, the new pill Ellaone will prevent 60 percent of pregnancies. However, the pills success rate is a whopping 50 percent five days after intercourse. It works by delaying the release of the egg.
However anti-abortion advocates claim that it actually causes an abortion.
Josephine Quintavalle, of the Pro-Life Alliance, told the Daily Mail: “If you take a morning-after pill within 24 hours, there is always the argument that the sperm may not have fertilised the egg by then, meaning pregnancy has not yet happened.
“But if this pill works for five days there is no argument. This is not a contraceptive, it is an abortive agent.”
Five days is the length of time it takes sperm to die if it has not fertilized an egg.
This is absurdity. North America has been using emergency contraceptive for up to five days for years!
And, just because it lasts longer doesn’t mean that it’s function changes. The pill works in exactly the same way whether 3 days or 5, and that is by delaying ovulation. If a woman is already pregnant it will NOT stop the pregnancy. (Mack)
