The emergency contraceptive works similar to the regular birth control pill. Ovulation is inhibited, and mentrual cycle is delayed after taking the medication. There are also negative ethical issues and side effects that arises while taking the morning-after-pill. The medication could irritate the lining of the uterus so if ovualtion does occur and mentrual cycle is not altered, and the women do become pregant, the developing embryo is destroyed before it could be attached to the lining of the uterus. Side effects include nausea, vomiting, infertility, ectopc pregnancy that Heather also mentioned which can be life threatening, and also blood clots. Emergency contraception also do not provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
Heather and I came into an resultion, and that is, even though the morning-after-pill do provide a second chance to women who was invovled in a unprotected sex, and fear that she may become pregnant, but this medication should not become a back up plan, meaning that women should just have unprotected sex all the time knowing that they would not become pregnant because of having an emergency contraceptive. There are many chemicals in the morning-after-pill, which is about double the doses of normal birth control pills, and health concerns need to be taken into the account when it is necessary to take the medication, because it could cause long term health defects that would effect women in the long run.

Like I told Heather. I need to be convinced, not just told. You are closer to explaining but fall short.
The first sentence of your second paragraph is intense. I would break it up into two, maybe three shorter sentences.
The following sentence needs elaboration: "There are many chemicals in the morning-after-pill, which is about double the doses of normal birth control pills, and health concerns need to be taken into the account when it is necessary to take the medication, because it could cause long term health defects that would effect women in the long run."
How are the "health concerns" that need to be taken into account? The information sounds similar to the concerns with "normal birth control" but needs to be explained further. Examples of cases where the pill hasn't worked might be good to mention, as well as examples of successful ones.
I need to see more information like this throughout your paper, but with source citations: "The medication could irritate the lining of the uterus so if ovualtion does occur and mentrual cycle is not altered, and the women do become pregant, the developing embryo is destroyed before it could be attached to the lining of the uterus." (WATCH YOUR SPELLING)
I think it is a good backup but agree shouldn't be used routinely, only for accidents. There were also some issues with the planned parenthood clinics giving out these pills without doctor visits and some deaths associated with that.
