As conservatives we are all against abortion. But a friend of mine posed the question: is taking Plan B similar to an abortion?

The process you just described is that of RU-486, the “abortion pill” — not Plan B which only attempts to prevent the release of eggs from the uterus using the same hormones that oral contraceptives use.
So even if you believe that restricting the development of a fertilized egg is an abortion, Plan B is not.
If I remembe right, eggs get fertilized in the fallopian tubes and then migrates to the uterus where it then implants itself into the uterus.
I'm not sure where Plan B would fit in otherwise. Once an egg is in the uterus, it's either destined to be expelled during the next period or it's already a viable zygote.
