I Am Pro Choice

@fazer1k correct

@NaturalBeautyQueen So why does your post suggest referring to the morning after pill (that's what it's called here) as 'Plan B' is wrong? What am I missing?

@fazer1k plan b is the morning after pill. Someone said that it was an abortion pill. It’s not.

@Thevy29 wow, 8 kids. I can’t imagine. I can barely take care of two as a single mom. Bless her heart.

She doesn't take care of them. Families and Youth Services had come and taken them into foster care. And about time to. Her drug use didn't make her a fit mum. @NaturalBeautyQueen

@Thevy29 oh okay. Sorry I misunderstood. Hope she’s received help for her drug use.

@SW-User I’m not sure about the reasons why people take the pill lol. But yes, it is also known as the next day or morning after pill.

@NaturalBeautyQueen There's an incredible amount of deliberate misinformation about womens' reproductive health.

@CountScrofula very true. And very sad.

That is why it is important that women do their research, and not believe everything they hear from someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

@Doomflower That’s exactly it. They call it “murder”, so yeah. Even when you try to explain it to them that it’s not, they still want to say it’s the abortion pill. Two totally different things.

@NaturalBeautyQueen it reminds me of talking to creationists. We are using the same language but mean the words we say in very different ways.

Educated people tend to use specific words for specific purposes. Words like "fertilization" and "pregnancy" have distinct meanings and we use them as such. Anti choice people use the two as synonyms.

@Doomflower very true

@fazer1k

@fazer1k it is also known as the morning after pill or next day pill. You are correct.

@fazer1k yes, almost like back up birth control, so to speak. It can be used if BC is missed, condom breaks, or other reasons.

@fazer1k The OP was commenting that some women still believe that Plan B is "an abortion pill", when in fact it is not. Some so-called "pro-life" groups have also tried to restrict its availability for the same reason.

@bijouxbroussard exactly.

@bijouxbroussard Oh, I see. I hadn't imagined anyone would actually think an abortion took place when using the pill. Oops.

The pill you are referring to isn't called an abortion pill by anyone here - not that I know of anyway.
