Levonorgestrel a difficult topic:



Talk about levonorgestrel is very difficult, because I can listen many opinions and points of view about the pill of the day after, but I can´t say who have the reason, because I don´t investigate more about this topic so I can´t see the true by myself, also it isn’t a concerns about the use and the real function of this pill, in fact there are many theories about it.


This topic is very controversial because two reasons: One of them is that some people say that levonorgestrel is abortive. In my opinion, life begin when the zygote arrives to the uterus and happened the implantation, that´s why I think that levonorgestrel isn´t abortive, because it acts before the implantation by different ways like preventing the ovulation, preventing the union between sperm and egg, and it´s in discussion if the pill do something at the walls of the uterus.


And the other controversial topic is about the correct use of the pill which is used principally for the prevention of unwanted pregnancy, for example by sex abuses or for sex without protection, that’s why is so controversial, because some people thinks that the use of the pill will contribute to the libertinism, to the ITS, etc.


My point of view is that, the use of this type of pills have to be permitted, because everyone is free to do what they think better for their bodies and life, but always with responsibility, and that’s why is necessary to educate the Chilean people about the use of this pills. And that´s why is very important that midwives know about this topic, because we are the ones who have to educate the society about family planning, about many of their rights as persons and we have to help people to take good decisions about something as important as pregnancy.
