At 01:44 on 22 March 2007, a user at 76.185.10.76 said "morning after pill is NOT abortion, http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/morning-after-pill/AN00592 completely false and a myth that needs to stop."
IMO there is no need to exclude the morning-after pill from an abortion article, because:
It is true that the morning-after pill may not be an act of abortion if the blastocyst hasn't formed by the time the pill is taken, but the fact is that emergency contraception also work by after the blastocyst (embryo) has formed. -- leuce 18:57, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Question: Can the morning-after pill be used for an abortion?
Answer: Yes, in some cases.
Reliable, neutral references:
"An abortion is the removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion
"In humans, it is called an embryo from the moment of fertilisation..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo
"Emergency contraceptive pills ... are drugs that ... prevent ... post-fertilization implantation of a blastocyst (embryo)."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_contraception
Therefore, emergency contraceptives can cause abortion, and in South Africa, it is not illegal to have an abortion that follows such usage of emergency contraceptives. -- leuce 15:03, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
