Morning After Pill

Morning after-pill (MAP ) or plan B is an emergency pill that stops a woman from becoming pregnant if contraception failed or wasn 't used . The morning after pill works best if taken within 24 hours of unprotected sex . Medics argue that plan B 's efficacy is up 70 and its effectiveness up to 72 hours there after its efficacy is not known ( HYPERLINK "http /www .netdoctor .co .k /whoisd .html http /www .netdoctor .co .k /whoisd .html . It is noteworthy that

the earlier it 's taken the better . Examples of medicine currently used include levonelle one step in UK and postinor2 in most Africa states The pills contain a female-type hormone such as levorgestrel . Other names used to refer to MAP include post-coital pill (PCP ) and emergency contraceptive (EC )-emergency because it is not used under normal circumstances and has stricter conditions under which they can be used for instance , the postinor2 mostly used in Africa states can only be used once within every menstrual cycle

Remember MAP cannot work if one is already pregnant and therefore it is not an abortion-causing drug . MAP works in two possible ways preventing ovaries from releasing egg or altering the lining of the womb so a fertilized egg wont be implanted

I want to argue that MAP must be made readily available to interested consumers . Let us first consider the categories of people who use it and their circumstances

1 ) Rape victims

MAP would help prevent pregnancy , which may alleviate the possibility of abortion (as the one raped may opt for it , and the humiliation a child who is as a result of rape may face from parent (s

2 ) Women who have been lured into sex while under the influence of emotional whims or drugs . Women under such influence of drug and alcohol may find themselves having unprotected sex . Men may want to take advantage of them . Once such women regain sobriety , MAP may be handy in preventing anxiety and pregnancy . Everyone will agree that at some point in their life , at least every woman , because of circumstances such as the ones we have , may lose their sobriety . Isn 't it kind of medics for providing such women an alternative and possibility for preventing unwanted pregnancy

3 ) Lovers or a couple may suffer condom burst /breakage . If this happens without MAP there would be no other easy way of preventing pregnancy The fact that such people were using a condom implies that they never wanted conception to occur . Isn 't MAP a relief to most couples

I will reiterate that MAP does not induce abortion and therefore Christians opposed to abortion and other pro-life activists have no reason to be indifferent . As a matter of fact , they should advocate for it as it has come...
