Plan B causes a woman to shed the lining in her uterus, which expels any zygotes that successfully formed.
If you think life begins at conception, then yes, it's an abortion.
That being said, I personally don't compare it to a full-on abortion because surgery is not performed. Plan B is a drug, and I dislike drugs being restricted on the off chance that if a drug like Plan B ends up being the cure for cancer, then we just restricted the population from being able to treat itself because a few bad eggs wanna kill their babies in the womb.
We should outlaw the act, not the means to perform said act. People should be held accountable, not drugs or property.
Do you not consider medication abortion (abortion pills: mifepristone & misoprostol) to be "full-on abortion"? Same result, different methods.
A cup of tea can induce an abortion, especially in the first trimester. The issue to me is doctors who perform the procedure, it used to be in the Hippocratic oath not to do so. Medical pros should be charged with murder, but you can't stop a mom from drinking certain teas. The issue with banning drugs it that it is inappropriate in a free society.
