It's called plan B in the US? We call it "the morning-after pill" where I live. I think it's a bit more self-explanatory.

I raise you "anti-baby-pill" from Germany.

Edit: anti-baby-pill refers to contraceptive pill.

[–] MrMobius@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Really? That's a bit too… intense. I propose "postpone-baby-pill" or "baby-no-thanks-pill".

[–] oxytocin@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's pretty straightforward. I raise "baby-not-today-pill".

We could call it Fetuscide, to trigger the fuck out of fundies and other retrogrades

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I've always heard that for the normal pill, not the morning-after one.

[–] oxytocin@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Really? Mhm, I guess it may differ throughout Germany?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

All references online also seem to point to it being the contraceptive pill: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antibabypille

[–] oxytocin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

I must be mistaken, then! Thanks for pointing it out. Doesn't change the funny harshness of the name - pill is similar after all..

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 83 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It's also referred to as the morning after pill. IIRC Plan-B was a brand name.

Back in my day we called it RU-486. Always reminded me of a Russian computerized submarine.

That is for an abortion, not for preventing a pregnancy from occurring. The difference is insanely and stupidly important for religious fascists.

Mifepristone can also be used as an emergency contraceptive too though.

For now. If those fucks have their way, it won't be too long before plan b is just abortion by another name, followed by contraception.

You're right. I had been mistaken for decades.

Open wide, here comes the submarine.

Now that's what got you in this situation!
