==Morning after pill==
There is some controversy as to whether or not the "morning after pill" — a high dose of typically-prescribed birth control administered after unprotected sex<ref>[http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/sex_relationships/facts/morningafterpill.htm "The morning-after pill", NetDoctor]</ref> — is considered an abortive procedure. WordNet encyclopedia defines pregnancy as "the period from ''conception'' to birth when a woman carries a developing fetus in her uterus>"<ref>[http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=pregnancy WordNet Encyclopedia]</ref> This would indicate that pregnancy begins at conception, defined as the point when the sperm fertilizes the egg.<ref>[http://www.ornl.gov/sci/techresources/Human_Genome/publicat/genechoice/glossary.html Oak Ridge National Laboratory]</ref> The morning after pill does not inhibit fertilization; rather, it prevents the fertilized egg from implanting onto the uterine wall, causing the potential life to die.<ref>[http://www.morningafterpill.org/how-does-it-work.html The Truth About the Morning After Pill]</ref> By using this logic, one can conclude that the morning after pill is considered a method of abortion used at the very beginning of the first trimester.
