no, I think when they said "interrupt the insemination process" that IS abortion. Standard birth control can't stop something that has already started.

We desperately need better SexEd and/or Science classes in this country.
Emergency contraception, or "morning after pills", are just a high dosage of the common birth control pill.
If you think that is 'abortion', and somehow 'sinful', then logically you must be against ALL female birth control - because there is absolutely no medical difference in how they work. If a woman is on a regular
preventative cycle, it
prevents a baby with
exactly the same method. Why is that hard for so many americans to understand?

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), "Emergency contraceptive pills?act by delaying or inhibiting ovulation, and/or altering tubal transport of sperm and/or ova (thereby inhibiting fertilization), and/or altering the endometrium (thereby inhibiting implantation)" (FDA, 1997). A recent study found that most often, ECPs reduce the risk of pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation (Marions, et al., 2002). A more recent study suggests that progestin-only ECPs work only by preventing ovulation or fertilization, and have no effect on implantation

Too many people don't even know how their bodys work. It's biology, not a religious debate.
