According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), "Emergency contraceptive pills...act by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, and/or altering tubal transport of sperm and/or ova (thereby inhibiting fertilization), and/or altering the endometrium (thereby inhibiting implantation)" (FDA, 1997).
I thought something that inhibits implantation would not be looked favorably on by somebody who is opposed to abortion.

Hmmm....
Well, either way, taking EC/MAP in the case of an "oops" within 72 hours is a whole lot better than taking RU486, or having it cut out of you. Taking RU486 (the abortion pill) or having the surgical procedure just means you sat on your butt and thought about it, and then chickened out about the responsibility. Whether you believe a fetus is living or not, is not the issue right now. Granted, I dont LIKE the idea, that it stops implantation of a fertilized egg, but you gotta choose your battles. I think EC/MAP is a whole lot better than the other alternatives.
