FDA approves "morning after" pill

Earlier in the week, the FDA approved "Plan B", a morning after pill for women to take up to 72 hours after having sex to prevent pregnancy. It is predicted to reduce unwanted pregnancies by 50%, and thereby reduce abortions as well. (It works 90% of the time.) The new drug doesn't require a prescription for females 18 or over. Liberals are angry children can't get it without a prescription, and conservatives are worried it will encourage unprotected sex. Meanwhile, a new technique has been developed that allows doctors to develop new lines of stem cells without killing the embryo. Both developments could reduce some of the controversy over abortion, although the Catholic church is opposed to both advances. See Chick's WHO MURDERED CLARICE?

I don't see where Christians would be able to coherently oppose this. Since the morning after pill merely prevents implantation of a zygote, well before the stage at which a zygote might split and thereby create twins, there wouldn't be any ensoulment yet. And without ensoulment, there's no "Clarice" to be "murdered."
