Can you imagine a world where all people have access to safe, effective low cost birth control?

That will never happen, because Christians don't want abortion AND they don't want birth control. They want everyone to have more kids than they can afford so they can stay poor, desperate and miserable, because poverty, desperation and misery all make people easier to control....Show more

“Birth control means contraception.”
No, birth control means controlling the number of live births. Contraception means controlling the number of conceptions. Commonly, however, the two are lumped together. Contraceptive devices, for example the condom and IUD’s, prevent births by preventing conception, but others, like the “pill” prevent birth by preventing the embryo from developing in the mother’s body

“Contraception is not an abortion.”
Many forms of what are commonly referred to as contraception, primarily the “pill”, are abortion because they prevent the “product of conception” from implanting in the uterus of the mother. The embryo (which has, by the way, a complete, unique set of human DNA) is then expelled from the body. This expulsion is induced by the actions of the mother taking the pill with the express purpose of making implantation very unlikely.

“…an abortion does not prevent conception.”
No, it doesn’t, but neither does the most popular forms of contraception ( a misnomer if there ever was one) used by women.

Perhaps its time that you studied up a little on exactly how the pill works. It does not prevent contraception

BTW: Why don’t you just call the “product of conception” what it is; a baby; an embryo; a fertilized egg? Do you think it makes you sound “more scientific” to just describe it? That’s like always calling the Sun “our primary energy source ” and never just calling it “the Sun”.

Yes its called Britain, there English they give it away for free there.

Contraception would reduce the many thousands of NEEDLESS abortions BUT it would not remove the requirement for some abortions where a woman's life is in danger or as the result of a rape.
Contraception would also reduce the amount of illness spread through unprotected sex....Show more

It is called, "All the western world save for the US and Ireland"

But, yes. Anyone who is pro-life and opposes contraception either just wants people to have lots of unplanned children or buys into a badly carried out study the Vatican pushes a lot claiming contraception increases the number of unplanned pregnancies....Show more

That would be awesome. Seeing as in 20-30 years we'll be so overpopulated the government will probably start shooting us to keep the numbers down, that will really come in handy....Show more
