Let's just say that it is murder/abortion of 6 fertilized eggs. However, many people are fine with such murder, as they are with the murder of lettuce leaves.

It seems the issue is always what is being murdered. The more human-like the thing being murdered is, the more outrageous it is. Plan B, not so outrageous because it's just a few cells. 20+ weeks, people are getting outraged. A dog? Pretty human-like, people don't like dogs being murdered.



Plan B is not an abortifacient. It prevents fertilization from ever taking place. Anyone against Plan B is entirely making an argument about casual sex.


I think it’s irrelevant to the discussion, but it seems like it’s not settled:
