I'm not saying the article is right or wrong, but let me share a quote from another article, appropriately titled "Plan B: Ignore the Science?"
"Scientists say the hubbub is hogwash because studies have shown that the progestin hormone in Plan B prevents ovulation but does not affect a fertilized egg, and therefore cannot be considered abortion. "People mix up emergency contraception with abortion, and it is really inaccurate," said Regine Sitruk-Ware, executive director of product research and development at The Population Council, a nonprofit that conducts research on reproductive science, including birth control and abortion procedures. "Political opponents of abortion want to prevent access to emergency contraception on the basis that it may prevent implantation, and therefore would be a sort of early abortive. This is not the case."
