Articles concerning various birth control drugs and devices

Abortifacient:
1) Any device or drug that, used after fertilization*, could destroy the developing prenatal child, prevent implantation or cause the expulsion of the developing prenatal child.
2) Any device or drug that, used after implantation, could destroy the developing prenatal child or cause its expulsion.

Note: the meaning of 'abortifacient' in a medical or scientific context is not the same as its meaning in a moral context. In a medical context, a drug that prevents fertilization (acts contraceptively) 95 to 99 times out of a hundred would be called a contraceptive rather than a abortifacient. But in a moral context, when the outcome may be death, a drug may be treated as an abortifacient if there is even a 1% chance of it killing the embryo by preventing implantation.
