What Do Scientists and Lawyers Have In Common? You Can Hire Them To Say Anything

Some scientists say taking abortifacients is not abortion
Some U.S. scientists refute claims of abortion opponents that use of the so-called morning-after pill is the same as abortion. Abortion-rights opponents say the pills prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg in the womb and thus destroy an early embryo. They are joined by some pharmacists who refuse to dispense emergency contraception on moral grounds, the Chicago Times reported. But the scientists say the pills work mainly by blocking the release of an egg from the woman's ovary, and so no embryo is formed. Posted by Editor at June 22, 2005 12:27 PM
