| Action of Early Abortion Pills |  Inhibiting Implantation
When an egg is fertilized, the next natural action is its nidation or uterus implantation. The internal side of the uterus is named endometrium and it functions like a blanket for the new embryo (newly fertilized egg) that finds the necessary nourishment "under" that blanket. Although, the pill’s "plan B" is to thinner and shrivel this blanket so that it would not be strong enough to hold up the embryo. This is why this method implies an early abortion.
You might have not heard about this before because the pill manufacturers concentrate on the pill’s side effects and efficiency in preventing pregnancies and manifest less concern on the way the drug reaches its goal.
The early abortion potential of the pill is recognized by pro-abortion organizations and their attorneys as well. Because practically all birth control devices, except the diaphragm and condom, operate between the time of conception...and implantation.., the statute would appear to ban most contraceptives.
On the other hand, respecting life is a human principle and if we care for our babies when we see them, we should also pay attention to what contraception method we select. We don’t want to harm our babies after they are born, why would we want to harm them before being born?
Pill’s Effectiveness
Even though it is considered to be one of the safest methods having an efficiency of over 99%, practice demonstrates that between 1.9% and 18.1% of women will experience a "surprise pregnancy" in the first year of using the pill. This might occur because of pills interactions with other medicines although another common reason is that of not having properly followed the directions - this happens especially in the case of younger women (15-24 years old).
