Morning-after pill eliminates life and should not be distributed, asserts archbishop (Peru)

From EWTN News

The president of the Peruvian Bishops’ Committee on the Family, Childhood and the Defense of Life, Archbishop Jose Antonio Eguren Anselmi, reminded the country’s Minister of Health that the morning-after pill he authorized to be distributed, “is not a medicine or a vaccine,” as it results in “the elimination of a human life.”

The archbishop made his comments during a massive pro-life march in the city of Piura, located in northwestern Peru, where he maintained that the decision by the Peruvian Minister of Health, Oscar Ugarte, to distribute the pill, defies “all scientific truth that points to the abortifacient effects of this pill” as well as “a ruling from the Constitutional Court prohibiting its distribution in our country.”
Would that all of our own bishops speak out that clearly concerning EC.

I fully agree with Archbishop Jose Antonio Eguren Anselmi. The morning-after pill is not a medication. Medications don’t kill, medications heal. And it is a known fact that the morning-after pill can cause the very early abortion of an unborn child. We Catholics believe that there is an unborn child with a soul that exists at the very moment of conception. The morning-after pill kills the unborn child by preventing it from implanting in the wall of the uterus where it will then get the nutrients it needs to live and grow.

However, this is not the only reason to oppose the morning-after pill. Another reason to oppose it is because the morning-after pill is a form of artificial contraception. As far as I know, there is no therapeutic use for the morning-after pill. As far as I am aware, the only use for the morning-after pill is to prevent a pregnancy from occurring or to end an already existing pregnancy.

All in all, the morning-after pill is a poison, not a medicine. Therefore, there is no good reason for it to be a legal medication.
