I avoided the question of morning after pills because my views on the subject are, I confess, murky and metaphysical. I consider the fertilized egg a human life, but from a religious perspective only God has the prescience to know whether or not it's has a soul.

But you earlier said
"Note that a Catholic cannot possibly hold this in her defense, as it contradicts Church teaching."
Isn't contraception of any sort sinful by Church teaching? Which is sorta understandable since people used to think that sperm was some kind of human-seed that mystically grew inside a woman's abdomen. But wouldn't a morning after pill be even worse than ordinary contraceptives under official Church doctrine? So are you working strictly with
all Church doctrine in your philosophy or just the stuff that isn't kinda crazy in a modern light?
