MORNING AFTER PILLS

[HairOfTheDog]

HotD, thanks for posting the NY article.
As for your excellent explanation, I would like to add one thing if I may (it gets a bit technical/pharmacological, ymmv. If it's tl&dr for you, check the cliff's note at the end ):

I don't mind long posts when I care about a topic; read 'em all. It wasn't too technical - thanks for breaking it down. Interesting.

The FDA has be to so careful about labeling (understandably) that sometimes actions or side effects that have never happened in a very large sample are included on the label because it can't be absolutely proven that they couldn't happen, imo. Sounds like that was the case with Plan B and levonogestrel, but scientific studies over the years have ruled out inhibiting implantation as one of its potential actions.

If the science is definitive, the FDA will eventually catch up and revise the labels. For the pro-life activists, the chemical abortion argument might be a harder bone to let go of, imo, thus the claims that scientists unaffiliated with the manufacturer are operating under a pro-abortion agenda.

It's unfortunate that unplanned teenage pregnancy is such a big issue that the schools had to step in, but I applaud that they're facing the reality and taking action by offering condoms and female contraception (and hopefully sex ed).
