TIME corrects itself

In the wake of the online uproar over the mischaracterization of Plan B, Time magazine is correcting itself on suggesting that the drug causes abortions (It doesn't.).

Time's words:

The original version of this story inaccurately described morning-after pills being distributed free by Chilean President Michelle Bachelet as "abortion-inducing." Though pro-life advocates claim the pills effect a kind of abortion by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus in the first 72 hours after unprotected sex, the pills are more accurately considered an emergency contraception by the medical community since they technically prevent a pregnancy from occurring in the first place.

Good, but small step. Too many people still hold this misunderstanding, and Pro-Life groups work hard to spread it.
