EMAIL OF THE DAY

“I am trying not to let it affect my love for you that you use the term ‘morning-after contraceptive,’ which is used by nobody with any basic knowledge of biology, with the exception of those who rely on talking points from Planned Parenthood. It’s morning-after, alright. But it’s post-conception, which makes it an abortifacient, not a contraceptive. Don’t quibble over implantation; it’s fertilization that matters. And so what if lots of fertilized eggs are “spontaneously aborted,” naturally failing to implant? There’s a difference between letting someone die and killing her, you know. Long and short: support Plan B, if you like; insist that it be airlifted to Africa even. But don’t call it contraception.”
