"Plan B causes abortions!" <-- from a pharmacist I worked with some years ago.
This set off my B.S. detector, b/c why would it be sold OTC if it did that? So, I read the insert.
Plan B, in actuality, delays the release of an egg from the ovaries by about 2-3 days, keeping it/them from being fertilized b/c sperm live about 72 hrs. (It can also make you want to hurl, so try to take it with food and plenty of water if you need it.)
