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.

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 83 points 3 days 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.

R U 4 86ing this baby out your womb?

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

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.

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

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

Open wide, here comes the submarine.

Now that's what got you in this situation!

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

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

[–] MrMobius@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] oxytocin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

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

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] oxytocin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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 2 days 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..
