In case you don't know, semen remains viable for at least 72 hours and pregnancy can occur days after intercourse. That is what emergency contraception prevents. It is NOT the same as RU-486. It is NOT an abortion pill. It does not prevent implantation if the woman has already ovulated. Plan B works the same as the regular pill except that it gives you a higher dose so that you don't need to be on it a full cycle for it to be effective.

This is the kind of ignorance that has resulted in 3% of the US population being in prison. Teenagers are going to have sex. There are plenty of methods of contraception out there, but you don't want them to have access. You want them to be punished for their sins by bringing a child into the world and ruining the life of a girl. I beg you all to look at this rationally. Can't we agree that countless problems are the result of bad parenting? Use your brain. Bad people tend to have bad parents. Why can't people understand that even if sex is sinful that contraception is a good thing?
