...status of the fetus and instead focusing solely on the social and economic situation of the mother. With this distraction in place, most people can tune out the abortion debate most of the time. This supposedly agnostic position is dishonest—the one-cell product of a human egg and a human sperm is alive.

The drug, a high-dose variant of ordinary birth-control pills, works in a similar way, by preventing ovulation and fertilization. It can also inhibit a fertilized egg from implanting itself on the wall of the uterus, resulting in what anti--abortion-rights advocates say is effectively an abortion. In any case, it can do nothing to end an existing pregnancy. About 1.3 million prescriptions for Plan B were filled last year, generating $30 million in revenue...
