a regular day to day BC pill helps stop fertilization in addition to stopping implantation (if it occurs) but with the morning after pill, only implantation is prohibited... so if a woman had unprotected sex and the egg was fertilized and she took the morning after pill, implantation would be stopped and the pregnancy would never progress, the fertilized egg dissolve or be shed with the monthly cycle... this has far right wingers complaining that it is the same as abortion and having the morning after pill available over the counter would be the same as buying the abortion pill over the counter. they all get their panties in a knot trying to decide when fertilized egg is really a person etc... i don't know... i don't think a zygote counts so much...
