When does the soul come into existence? Is it the second the sperm and the egg unite? Is it okay to use the "morning after pill"--basically a high dose estrogen pill to cause shedding of the endometrium to prevent implantation/pregnancy IF fertilization actually did occur?

The soul comes into existence as soon as the sperm and the egg unite. It is not okay to use the 'morning after pill'. It is a kind of abortion. If a couple does not have the intention to have children at a point in time; they should take their precaution before attempting to get together.
