Scientific studies have confirmed this. It behaves exactly the same as the regular birth control pill in this regard, because ALL IT IS is a higher dosage of regular birth control. (For years women have just taken a double-dose of their regular pill as a "plan B;" the only thing that's different now is it's being marketed as a separate drug. It's basically a big marketing thing for the drug companies, is all.) In case anyone is unfamiliar with how the pill works: it prevents ovulation. Hence, this is how Plan B works as well. It should be fairly obvious, but apparently some people need to be beaten over the head with the obvious: prevention of a pregnancy and termination of a pregnancy are not the same thing.

Also, I don't understand how everybody berates peoples comments on this board. People are entitled to their opinions, listen to them, form your own opinion and move on...seriously...

It is magical and wonderful. I love it. Dave: by this statement, <blockquote>Does it matter if it's my mother, sister, or daughter? I don't believe in shades of grey when those shades are colored in by emotional attachment. Either it's one thing or it's not. It's my opinion that once emotion is thrown into the mix, that school of thought is pure ignorance.</blockquote> You not only scare me with your apathetic ability to become completely emotionless and not give a rats ass about someone you love being raped, you prove that everything that is "emotionally influenced" (i.e., everything) is ignorant, and therefore wrong. That is a whole different can of worms, albeit, a scary thoughtless and hateful can of worms, that I can't even begin to try and understand. Just wow.

This is why gay/lesbian sex is ideal. We never get pregnant! Or, as an alternative, just have oral sex. That's pretty much all I do anyway, though getting a girl pregnant is hardly one of my worries.
