The bishops of Louisiana (Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, New Orleans, Alexandria, Houma) support the morning-after pill in cases of alleged rape (TheAdvocate.com, 11 July).
The bishops' spokesman, Tom Costanza, said a woman "should be able to defend herself against possible conception as a result of sexual assault."
The problem: the morning-after pill not only stops ovulation, but - if ovulation has occurred - causes an abortion by preventing the embryo from implanting in the uterus. Therefore, this drug is immoral.
A new Louisiana state law requires hospitals to provide information about the morning-after pill and to dispense it to [alleged] rape victims. The bishops have simply sided with the regime on this issue.
On 9 July, all three abortion clinics in Louisiana ceased operations following the overturning of Roe v Wade.

Plan B’s own packaging warns that the drug may destroy a newly conceived human being: “This product works mainly by preventing ovulation (egg release). It may also prevent fertilization of a released egg (joining of sperm and egg) or attachment of a fertilized egg to the uterus (implantation).”

And yes, a woman does have the right to protect herself. A standard surgical procedure known as a dilation and curettage (D&C) should be performed immediately after rape. The procedure involves scraping the inner lining of the uterus to clean out and remove any foreign matter thereby preventing conception.

Only the first step. In the future, they may set aside money to pay for abortions.
