This is profoundly untrue. The "morning-after pill" is not the same
thing as RU-486. The morning-after pill is essentially a
double-strength dose of birth control, which does two things: prevents
egg implantation and suppresses ovulation. Even if the mechanism was
the creation of a "hostile uterus," the fate of that fertilized egg
would be the same as the fate of 66% of fertilized eggs: failed
implantation.

Check your facts before spouting bull, and check your dictionary for
the definition of 'ad hominem'.
