The morning-after pill

Uncovering the truth

January 2007

PDF

John R Ling

The morning-after pill is now more widely available than ever before. It is marketed as the ideal early solution to unwanted pregnancies. It is given a key role in the drive to combat teenage pregnancies.

But serious ethical issues are at stake. Can the morning-after pill act to destroy a human embryo? Does the morning-after pill encourage sexual promiscuity?

In this comprehensive but plain-speaking book John Ling sets out how the morning-after pill works and its wider social effects. Taking in evidence from science to philosophy, and from God’s law to British law, he argues that the morning-after pill demands a powerful Christian response.

Contraception: A pro-life guide

Dr O E O HotonuM
MB ChB BSc (Hons) MRCOG MPhil

The aim of this book is to provide background knowledge on how contraceptives work. As a result we hope that Christian readers will be better equipped to make wellinformed ethical decisions. Above all else the book explains the difference between those contraceptives which can act to destroy a human embryo and those which, according to the best available medical evidence, do not.
