If society says abortion is a normal part of life, then women will be guilt free?

But I can spell idiot correctly.

The MAP prevents conception.

I thought the MAP prevented the implantation of the embryo into the uterus, i dont think it stops egg meeting sperm and conception. Correct me if im wrong though

Yep you are wrong. Its main mechanism is preventing ovulation. It can also prevent implantation, but so can the normal pill. The MAP is the same as the pill but it's a larger dose of the same hormones which prevents ovulation for the few days that the sperm would survive.

Wow, well, i guess my a level biology was a lie on some parts then, thank you

And what happens if the egg is already ovulated? The MAP works mainly by increasing the mucus membrane on the uterus and preventing it settling. To suggest it works by delaying ovulation is complete crap. Im not suggesting it doesnt do that, but if that was its main way of working then it would only be effective for 2 or 3 days per month. For the rest of the time it prevents the egg attaching to the uterus.

If you've already ovulated you might get pregnant

Seriously, that's how it works. Couldn't you have checked Wikipedia before replying?

"The United States FDA states that progestin-only ECPs like Plan B work by preventing ovulation. It also says "it is possible" that progestin-only ECPs may interfere with the blastocyst implanting in the uterine lining, and that they have no effect on pregnancies if taken after implantation" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_contraception

Ah wikipedia....... fountain of knowledge.

If you think about things logically then you'll see how that makes no sense.

Right, say a woman ovulates on day 14 or whatever it is, you have sex on day 15 and take the MAP straight after. The egg has already ovulated, so retarding the ovulation by a day or 2 wont make any difference. Yet take the MAP and she doesnt get pregnant. Explain.

if a womnan doesn't want a baby, that's her choice.. whats the point in bringing up a child that they didn't want?

Considering my prediction of my reaction should I ever be in this situation, I should think I'd be far more guilty about getting rid of someone who should technically be alive in the world, than whether other people think it was right or not. Even if it was totally accepted as normal in society I wouldn't feel good about doing it.
