Morning After Pill
I received an email from the Culture of Life Foundation warning that an FDA committee is going to recommend the Morning after pill(MAP) for over-the-counter sale. But proponents and manufacturers of MAP claim that the pill does not cause an abortion. This is blatantly false. From the email:
I have seen this firsthand. A couple of months ago there was a proponent of MAP on one of the morning shows, this person made this same claim. I knew that if conception has occurred, the MAP does indeed snuff out this new life. I was shocked that someone would so blatantly lie on national TV. After bringing this issue up in the comments of other blogs, I found out that they are playing fast and loose with the definition of when pregnancy begins. What I don't understand is that the proponents of MAP believe that there is nothing wrong with abortion. So why do they go out of their way to lie and claim it does not cause an abortion?

"Critics also charge that the drug is marketed without letting women and girls know that is can cause an abortion. Producers and proponents now make the claim that pregnancy starts at implantation and therefore any interruption prior to implantation could not be considered an abortion. This contradicts what is presented in all medical textbooks that place pregnancy starting at conception."
