I am iffy about this. I am Roman Catholic, so I "should" be pro-life.
But then I would have to say condoms, the pill, the morning after pill, depo pavera (which I am on for medical reasons) and abortation is all wrong and a sin. Period, no "if ands or buts"
But as I said I am on depo my self. I use it medically, so in the churches eyes, I am a killer. (even though I am not sexually active).
But I also see women who are raped, or who have medical issues that a baby will kill them. Or every other issue that is similar.
The morning after pill does so much harm to the uterus. But then again so does abortion. I have an older friend (30ish) that when she was my age she was careless and used abortion as a condom. Now she is older and stable she is trying to have a baby with her hubby. They could concieve, but every time she miscarried. They finally did some test and the doctor told her and him that she will never be able to carry to full term because of the many abortions she had. The abortions left "scares". That even if the baby would live to full term it may casue terrible harm to her, or major issue to the baby (if born)
I also understand that the morning after pill could do this also, if used heavily. (Correct me if I am wrong) That the morning after pill also cause the women to be very sick for a couple days. This is why I beleive it sould be available but not right next to the condoms on the shelf.
