can ppl voice their concerns about the rights of mothers, but no one is allowed to voice concerns about the rights of the unborn?

It disturbs me how many people--how many women of childbearing age, even--are completely in the dark about the differences between Plan B/Preven and RU-486/mifepristone.
As AGDee said, the morning after pill is basically a great big super-concentrated birth control pill. Levornorgestrel, the active ingredient, is the same thing that a few pills (Alesse, Levlite), the Norplant implants, and the BC ring contains. In such a large dose, it simply prevents conception.
Since when does preventing conception equal abortion? Only if you're misinformed like our friend the Eckerd pharmacist is.
Mifepristone is the actual "abortion pill," and it is only administered by hospitals and clinics because of its abortifacient nature, ie...NOT PHARMACIES.
Besides, some fundie hospital or locally-owned pharmacy has probably already swooped him up. I wouldn't worry about his economic problems.
