Seems not many people do read the info before commenting.

The article says;

" Plan B works by keeping a fertilized egg from implanting in the wall of the uterus. If the egg is already attached to the uterine wall -- which happens from seven to nine days after the egg is fertilized -- Plan B will not have any effect.

This is in contrast to the so-called abortion pill, mifepristone or RU-486. Emergency contraceptives prevent pregnancies from forming, while the abortion pill terminates the developing fertilized egg attached to the uterine wall, according to the Mayo Clinic. "

It does not prevent ovulation but works to prevent the egg
from attaching to the uterine wall. This is the part of the article
that sounds troubling;

" Plan B contains a high dose of a hormone found in traditional birth control pills which can cause blood clots in certain people.

"If this is over-the-counter, it will be a high dose of this drug," said Wendy Wright of the Concerned Women for America, a public policy organization. "So it's likely to cause all kinds of unknown problems, and women are more likely to use it repeatedly."
