A member asked:

Do you think i should use the day after pill or abortion as a means of safe sex?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

"safe" ??: There is nothing safe about what you are asking. The day after pill will not reliably protect you from pregnancy and abortion as birth control risks uterine trauma, bleeding and infection. Neither one provides any protection against sexually transmitted diseases.
