However, the FDA list of approved contraceptive drugs does include morning after pills, such as Plan B and Ella that can work by blocking a human embryo from implanting in the uterus. When an embryo is blocked from implanting, the embryo dies.
As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), citing numerous medical studies, has reported, there are at least seven modes by which emergency contraception can âprevent the implantation or survival of the embryo.â
Also, in an Aug. 1, 2011 letter about the Obamacare regulation, the USCCB stated, âThe drugs that Americans would be forced to subsidize under the new rule include Ella, which was approved by the FDA as an âemergency contraceptiveâ but can act like the abortion drug RU-486. It can abort an established pregnancy weeks after conception. The pro-life majority of Americans â Catholics and others â would be outraged to learn that their premiums must be used for this purpose.â
The Obama administration, led by Secretary Sebelius, issued final regulations in February that would force all insurance companies to provide coverage of contraceptives â including morning after pills â without copays, exempting only religious employers that employ and serve members of their own faiths such as churches or seminaries. All other employers and all other individuals, Catholic or otherwise, would be required to pay into health insurance plans that offer abortifacients, artificial birth control, and sterilizations, which are contrary to Catholic teaching.
