See p. 305. A positive pregnancy test indicates the presence of a human being whose existence would be threatened by the use of the hormones.

It is the union of sperm and egg that it is ethical to prevent; the destruction of the fertilized egg is not ethical.

Urgent administration is necessary to prevent the union of sperm and egg rather than destroy the zygote.

4 is correct!

Which is NOT a condition for an ethical use of contraceptive hormones after insemination by sexual assault?

    { 1 } - A pregnancy test must not be positive.
    { 2 } - There are no grounds for judging that ovulation preceded or will coincide with the administration of postcoital contraception.
    { 3 } - The postcoital contraceptive is administered urgently.
    { 4 } - One must not directly intend to prevent the union of sperm and egg.

This direct intention is not unethical, since a woman is not obliged to cooperate in procreation through sexual assault.
