Admitting what we already knew

Well, at least they are admitting it.

Plan B medication can cause abortion in the earliest stages of pregnancy, the New Zealand manufacturer that distributes the drug has admitted.

Schering [NZ] Ltd, based in Auckland, produces the emergency contraceptive drug for sale in New Zealand. Schering produces and distributes a pamphlet providing information on Plan B that pharmacists give to women who purchase the drug. The pamphlet clearly states that Plan B may prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the womb, thereby causing the death of the newly-conceived child.

The pamphlet states that the drug Levonelle is thought to work by:

1. Stopping or delaying the ovaries from releasing an egg.
2. Preventing sperm from fertilizing an egg you may have already released.
3. Stopping a fertilized egg from attaching itself to the lining of the uterus.

And that third one is abortifacent, ending a new life. Calling it any other euphemism does not change that fact. It’s about time women get this information so that when they make their ‘choice,’ it can be informed.

And speaking of information, here’s more.
