Once again an issue has cropped up that is being completely misrepresented by all parties, and once again, it is up to me, your host, to clarify the real issues.

First of all, the Plan B pill, or the morning after pill was developed to act as a preventative to contraception.  It does not terminate pregnancies, it prevents them from happening at all.  Specifically they prevent ovulation, like birth control pills, or they prevent fertilization, like a condom.  The active ingredient is the same as the one in the Norplant birth control implant.

So the conservatives who blast this as an abortion pill need to get a grip.  The only Christians with any moral standing might be catholics, or other faiths who (by dogma) oppose all forms of birth control.

Now.  The pharmacists.  Some pharmacists refuse to dispense it on moral grounds.  Sounds bad, but how bad it is really depends.
