Pill Patrol Sounds The Siren For “Emergency” Contraception

Here’s today’s Washington Watch Daily commentary from FRC Radio:


You’ve heard of the highway patrol, but how about the “pill patrol”? It’s Planned Parenthood’s latest campaign to police American neighborhoods. Unfortunately, their goal isn’t public safety but “safe” sex. Since the FDA approved Plan B, the so-called morning-after pill, for over-the-counter use, the abortion giant says it’s a crime that more women can’t access it. So, to intimidate pharmacies into carrying it, Planned Parenthood’s organizing undercover squads to investigate which stores are—and aren’t—selling the pills. According to a spokesman, “Every day in America, women are forced to play the lottery when they… ask for emergency contraception.” Publicly, they’re calling the drug “pregnancy prevention.” But if that were the case, women would take them before—not after—they’re intimate. It’s as backwards as telling people to buckle their seatbelts after they get where they’re going. The truth is, these pills can actually abort an innocent life. It’s just another misconception about contraception that Planned Parenthood is once again promoting.

‘Pregnancy prevention’ is accurate. Regardless of your position on the worth of an embryo, pregnency doesn’t actually begin until implantation – the woman gets pregnent, and the physiological changes of pregnency cannot start until the embryo begins to influence her, which isn’t possible pre-implantation.
