morning after?

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. I was wondering if anybody knows about the morning after pill. Is it really an abortion pill or just a prevenative, because I usually just use condoms as BC but today it broke on us and now I'm afraid I might get preggers, so I thought about the morning after pill. I went to the pharmacy to see about it and the Pharmascist must believe the pill is abortion and started yelling at me, calling me a whore and a baby killer. So needless to say I started crying and left. I guess I was just wondering if anybody knew about the pill?
Thanks

It si not an abortion at all. You cant have an abortion if you are not pregnant. MAP(morning after pill) prevents pregnancy by delaying ovulation, and changes uterine lining so an egg cant implant. The new MAP is good for 5 day after unprotected sex. If you have any birth control pills you can go to planned parenthood's website and they have a list of which birth control works as the MAP. I have used this method before and it is usually 4bc pills and 12 hours later 4 more 12 hours later. Ive personally ahd an abortion and taken MAP and they are two completely different things.
