		An abortifacient is a substance that induces abortion.

	Abortifacient - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are naturally occurring abortifacients like green Papaya though there does not seem to be any available data on their efficacy.
		The methods of operation of prescription drugs used as abortifacients are better understood than those of traditional herbal remedies, but they have been controversial since the 1980s.
		American federal and British laws mark the beginning of pregnancy at implantation; thus, these agents are labeled as contraceptives, rather than abortifacients.

		Foremost of which is the raging moral, biological and scientific debate, almost exclusively within the pro-life community, as to whether the mechanisms of certain fertility control measures are contraceptive or abortifacient at a microscopic level.
		We also desire to contribute to the debate and witness to the medical and scientific facts that demonstrate the abortifacient nature of the hormonal contraceptives.
		Now to address the question, "Are BCPs abortifacient?" First, it is important to realize that there exists a large cohort of physicians currently leading our profession in the big lie.

		Abortifacient essential oils should be avoided during pregnancy.
		The oils listed below should NOT be used to induce the abortion of a fetus, since the abortifacient properties of these oils are linked to their toxic nature, and although it may in some cases bring about an aborted fetus, it would be equally toxic for the mother.
		Emmenagogue oils do however not have abortifacient qualities, but since they stimulate the menses they also not be used during pregnancy.

	Wisconsin Right to Life - Answers for Young Women - Birth Control
		As stated in the 1970s policy and in the 2003 re-worded version, WRL opposes any form of birth control that acts as an abortifacient, i.e., one that results in the death of a conceived human being regardless of the stage of development.
		However, there are also WRL members who support the claim that OCPs act as abortifacients based on the possibility that the hormones contained in the OCPs create a hostile environment in the uterus making it less likely that an embryo will implant.
		Because current scientific tools limit their ability to issue a definitive statement, they have concluded: “As individuals committed to the protection of human life from the moment of conception, we have come to differing conclusions about the effect, or non-effect, of oral contraceptives on the early conceptus.

	THE BIG MONEY OF THE MORNING-AFTER PILL
		They have lodged an appeal against the distribution of the drug, on the grounds that it does not respect the abortion law of the year 1967 and that it causes an involuntary abortion, which is illegal.
		This is not convenient for the WHO that fears the extension of this prohibition to the IUD's (another abortifacient) and of the Chilean government that wants to produce the same drug abroad under another name: it obtained a favorable decision from the Court of Appeal on October 11, and reinstated on October 12.
		The propaganda in favor of the morning-after pill claims that it diminishes the number of abortions, but experience shows that now the number of surgical abortions has not decreased and chemical abortions caused by these drugs have to be added to the former; not to mention the increase of sexual promiscuity.

		Abortifacient = An abortifacient is a defined as a “drug which induces abortion or miscarriage”.
		A drug or device which stops newly-conceived humans from implanting in the lining of the womb, thus causing their expulsion from the uterus, causes an early abortion.
		Research has suggested that this is the primary mode of action and Schering the manufacturer of the morning-after-pill, admitted this when it stated that the drug was “primarily aimed to prevent implantation of the fertilised ovum in the endometrium” (Schering, product summary for PC-4 morning-after-pill).

	American Life League 2006 - The Birth Control Pill: Abortifacient and Contraceptive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Near the beginning of their document, the opponents of an abortifacient action of the pill state: "We begin with the recognition that within the Christian community there is a point of view which holds that artificial birth control per se is wrong.
		In defense of medical experts stating that the IUD, the morning-after pill, etc., are not abortifacient, they may be relying on the circa 1970 redefinition of pregnancy declaring that it begins with implantation.
		Another argument proposed by the proponents of the abortifacient nature of the BCP is this: If the pill has no abortifacient (postfertilization) effect, then the reduction of intrauterine pregnancies (IUPs) in pill-takers should be identical to the reduction in the rate of extrauterine (ectopic) pregnancies (EUPs) in pill -takers.

		Then there are those who, while recognizing that the "morning-after pill" is abortifacient, call attention to the (act that in up to 20 per cent of the cases it might also act as a contraceptive: this would only occur if it were taken before the release of the egg cell from the ovary.
		Perhaps she should have an ultrasound to monitor the development of the ovarian follicule and a dose of hormones to predict the moment of ovulation; but this is neither the intention nor a realistic possibility for those who turn eagerly to the "morning-after pill".
		Furthermore, even if it is true that the woman who takes the "morning-after pill" may not be pregnant or that the abortifacient effect will not occur, the woman who requests the pill and the doctor who prescribes or administers it willingly accept the risk of causing an abortion.

	do oral contraception cause abortion?
		Abortifacient: a drug that kills a newly formed human being, whether by directly killing the baby or by preventing implantation, and so cause an abortion, either intentionally or unintentionally.
		For a drug to be classified as abortifacient, conception must occur, and the loss of these conceptions must exceed the baseline loss for populations not using the drug, or be shown to occur solely as a result of the drug.
		Therefore, we consider prescribing this modality to be a reckless disregard for human life and therefore the moral equivalent of a surgical or chemical abortion.

	Conscience Glossary
		Note: the meaning of 'abortifacient' in a medical or scientific context is not the same as its meaning in a moral context.
		In a medical context, a drug that prevents fertilization (acts contraceptively) 95 to 99 times out of a hundred would be called a contraceptive rather than a abortifacient.
		But in a moral context, when the outcome may be death, a drug may be treated as an abortifacient if there is even a 1% chance of it killing the embryo by preventing implantation.

		She notes that the most recent data point to a rate of pregnancy for "typical use" as being 7%, which is probably the more accurate statistic given the immediacy of her research data and the fact that today's OCPs are lower dose, theoretically permitting a higher rate of breakthrough ovulation.
		The problem here is that obstetricians who are self-proclaimed as being pro-life would have difficulty being unbiased towards the argument that the pill causes early abortions, since each of these physicians most likely has written thousands of prescriptions in his or her medical career.
		The admission of the pill as abortifacient amounts to an admission that hundreds of tiny unborn children have been aborted by the physicians who prescribed the pill.

		Thus a drug or device that destroys the early embryo or disrupts its development is redefined as "contra-ceptive," even though it is abortifacient in nature.
		It is this abortifacient mode of action that EC proponents often downplay.
		To most people, what IVF has underscored is the fact that a life begins with fertilization (hence the popular name "test-tube baby.") The editorial's analogy only proves that, if we want to call EC "contraception," we must also call it merely "contraception" to deliberately discard and destroy developing human embryos in the laboratory.
