Not Abortion

The FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) has rejected the application for Emergency Contraception to be available over the counter nationally because christian fundamentalists see Emergency Contraception as a form of abortion. This is in fact not the case. Emergency Contraception works to prevent a pregnancy occuring. Emergency contraception does not contain the same chemical ingredients as mifepristone, and therefore it is not an abortion pill. If the woman is already pregnant, the Emergency Contraception such as Plan B will not harm the pregnancy.
