This way the egg the sperm never meet. A pregnancy is prevented.
Therefore plan B is a contraceptive.
You do it just in emergency because of the high homone dose.
According to their website Plan B does one of three things:

Temporarily stops the release of an egg from the ovary
Prevents fertilization
Prevents a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus

I don't consider any of these an abortion because none are viable pregnancies but I could see how this could be debatable

Let's be correct with our information
