A couple of links re: CT bishops

Here are a few links on the CT bishops' recent decision to allow the use of Plan B in Catholic hospitals, in accord with a state law that went into effect Oct. 1. For those new to the topic...

According to the CT bishops' own website:

The secondary mechanism of Plan B is to prevent the implantation of a fertilized ovum, which is abortion. This is confirmed on the manufacturer’s web site that says, “Plan B® may also work by preventing it (the fertilized egg) from attaching to the uterus (womb).”

But the same bishops now say:

[T]o administer Plan B pills in Catholic hospitals to victims of rape[,] a pregnancy test to determine that the woman has not conceived is sufficient [moral precaution]. An ovulation test will not be required. The administration of Plan B pills in this instance cannot be judged to be the commission of an abortion because of such doubt about how Plan B pills and similar drugs work and because of the current impossibility of knowing from the ovulation test whether a new life is present. To administer Plan B pills without an ovulation test is not an intrinsically evil act.
