I've been a fan of '16 and Pregnent' mainly because is it touching and truly shows the reality of being a teen and having a baby. Additionally Dr. Drew is very supportive of adoption.
But I am so upset because Dr. Drew is PUSHING contraceptives... Every teen he talks to he asks what their new means of contraception is for preventing future pregnancies. And when talking to one of the teen parents he offered the morning after pill as a future option for contraception. The teen responded that she did not believe in the morning after pill because she believes it is an abortive. Dr. Drew openly LIED and stated that it is NOT an abortive method. It truly seemed that is was a 'set-up' question just so he could say that it is not an abortive pill.
But Dr. Drew.... IT IS AN ABORTIVE METHOD! I don't understand how he could just openly put that out there. Am I missing something?
Plan B (the morning after pill): If conception has already occurred it prevents the implantation of the fertilized egg. This is abortion.
From Catholic.com:
The "morning after" pill is not a contraceptive--it does not prevent conception--its only purpose is to induce the abortion of an already conceived child.
Ugh. I am done with Dr. Drew. And it makes me sad! But I cannot support someone who is a board certified physician and KNOWS that truth and lies to a completely impressionable population. I am not asking for Dr. Drew to agree with the Catholic Church. I just want Truth. And someone who is in such a powerful position needs to be honest. :( I guess we just have to pray for his conversion.
