I think some of you are confused about what this pill actually does. This is NOT RU486, the controversial "abortion" pill. This one prevents pregnancy. It is a medicinal form of the IUD. Both forms of birth control change the lining of the uterus and prevent implantation.
From Preven.com:
PREVEN® (Levonorgestrel 0.25mg/Ethinyl Estradiol 0.05mg tablet USP) is Emergency Contraception. It:
Can prevent a pregnancy from starting if you take it within 72 hours of unprotected sex
Won't hurt a pregnancy that has already started — it will not affect a fetus
This is birth control, not abortion.
