How is birth control a form of abortion?
I myself am pro life, but I m really struggling to get on board with some of these bills states are passing (specifically Alabama and Ohio). I haven t actually read the bills (if someone could put a link or something that would be great because I can t find them through a google search). I just don t understand why birth control is being outlawed. Can someone explain?? My pro life beliefs are that life begins at conception, so what does contraception have to do with abortion? I would think they would want women to use birth control in order to prevent pregnancy! In my mind, they are overstepping a boundary where they are now taking away a woman s right to have sex; it s gone far past just the rights of the children. Rant over... can someone explain if you understand why they re doing this?

An abortion ends a pregnancy. A contraceptive prevents a pregnancy and is not illegal. Abortion opponents may attempt to call abortion a contraceptive but that is just an ignorant attempt to over dramatize the issue aimed at influencing the simple minded.

WHAT sort of birth control?
Try asking this again when you are a little more sober.

Read a newspaper. Its scary how uninformed people are and how those with the desire to know what is going on expects others to spoon feed them the information because they are too lazy to look it up themselves.

Because the birth control pill is an abortifacient, after the egg is fertilized, it can't get implanted because the pill thickens the lining of the uterus. That's why a woman on the pill may have aborted many fertilized eggs vs. a woman who went to a clinic and only had one abortion. The entire right to life movement is a bogus issue when millions of women are on the pill have multiple abortions, but this fact is not reported by the media so women don't stop taking the pill.
