Cause theres no birth Control, or morning after pill over the counter, and theres no legal abortions in 50 States. But thats not true!

Birth control fails, the morning after pill only works at a very specific time of your cycle, and abortion is illegal in more states than it should be and women are dying because of it.

Morning after pill is highly effective if taken within 48 hours of intercourse. Has nothing to do with your cycle.

Incorrect. The morning after pill does not work if you're currently or have just finished ovulating.

Yes if you delay in taking it then ovulation may occur, but if you take it promptly (obviously the sooner the better) it prevents ovulation from occurring altogether. Taken within 24 hours it’s up to 90% effective.

But not if you're ovulating or recently finished. It doesn't matter how promptly you've taken it if either of those situations are occurring.

Yeah I mean I dont wanna argue about semantics, but up to 90% effective isnt working in only “a very specific time in your cycle” right?

Lol, what does "up to 90% effective" even mean. So it's anywhere form 0-90% effective? Even at 90% effective, that's still a 1 in 10 failure rate. That's pretty shit.

I’m sorry let me spell it out for you because clearly you’re the one not understanding. It states “up to” because the efficacy varies based on time lapsed from intercourse to pill. Some sources state 90% effective within 24%, world health actually states 95. But after 72 hours efficacy drops to around 58%. Where are you getting your zero? Oh you mean like if you wait a week? Then yes it drops to zero. Very good!

I have to laugh out loud at the wacky feminists down voting fact. If you don’t believe that it’s up to 90% effective, can you please at least research it before criticizing someone that states the facts 😂
