Q Should the morning-after pill be more easily available?
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, conception is the 'formation of a zygote'. Likewise, the definition of fertilisation is 'the process in which two gametes unite to form a zygote'. So, according to the dictionary then, conception and fertilisation mean basically the same thing.
When a mother's egg and a father's sperm unite, a human life is created, 23 chromosomes are inherited from each parent. There is now a complex genetic blueprint for every detail of human development - the child's sex, hair and eye colour, skin tone and plenty more besides. All of this happens at fertilisation - not implantation of the fertilised egg.
The Family Planning Association would have us believe that pregnancy begins up to five to seven days after conception, when the fertilised egg implants in the lining of a woman's uterus. It is not so; medical science defines the start of human life at conception/fertilisation, not implantation.
The morning-after pill can act as an abortifacient - it can kill human life - but is falsely labelled as a contraceptive. It seems certain that the Family Planning Association (an ironic name) wants the public to think that with the arrival of contraception pills and morning-after pills, abortions are no longer happening.
Who has the most to gain by promoting these pills? Let us face the truth and not exchange the truth for a lie.
