The pill is a chemically induced alteration of the female reproductive system. Because of the way the female body works, it is very difficult to limit the effects of this chemically induced change to just the uterus. ⁷ Other risks include:

• Infertility
• Breast tenderness
• Blood clot formation
• Ectopic pregnancy (in a fallopian tube, which can be quite dangerous to women’s health)

“There are no long-term studies to show whether women will be permanently damaged, or risk such diseases as cancer, from these chemicals being given in such high doses.” ⁸ Further research needs to be completed to determine potential dangerous side effects.

Another important health risk to consider is that the "Morning After Pill" does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). ⁹
