Re: Morning After Pill Available OTC For All Ages
On a practical level many BC methods do not prevent the union of sperm and egg, they simply create a hostile environment for implantation. These types of contraceptives are known as abortifacients and include all IUD's, oral contraceptive pills and other hormonal contraception including Prevens and Plan B (morning after pills) and Depo Provera. The only true 'contraceptives' are barrier methods and sterilization.
Just a few facts when we discuss things like the difference between a 'birth control pill' and a 'morning after pill'... Medically we can do exactly the same thing by having a woman take a larger dose of regular oral contraceptive pills.
