I believe in life and life at conception, but I don’t see how Plan B has anything to do with abortion. The drug in effect is not killing a baby. It is preventing a sperm from fertilizing an egg. I guess I just may not understand the pro-life argument for raising the age for Plan B purchasers because to me, it prevents a person from getting pregnant who then later will have to decide on whether or not to abort that child. Isn’t it better that we prevent those kinds of abortions before a child is even created?
