Clarification On Plan B

I'm facing some questions on my article claiming Plan B is just another abortion pill. Most people have the mind set that Plan B is a contraceptive, as has been repeated so many times in the media, and not an abortion pill. Says an article in yesterday's Honolulu Advisor, " [Plan B] is not effective in ending pregnancies, like the controversial RU-486, known as the 'abortion pill,' which is available only through a doctor's prescription."

The debate here is due to semantics, so let me clarify; those who oppose abortion believe life begins at conception, when sperm fertilizes an egg. If Plan B is taken once the egg has been fertilized, but it has not implanted in the womb, it can prevent implantation. This causes the fertilized egg to be expelled from the body, killing a newly formed life. This is, in every since of the word, an abortion. It is caused by Plan B, making Plan B just another abortion pill.
