According to some people, including Jill Stanek who writes for one of our rambling myLotter's favorite news sources WND, if you take birth control pills you're KILLING BABIES!!

"On Saturday, June 6, pro-lifers across the country will be participating in the largest protest ever against the birth control pill and other birth control products. Last year, participants across the United States shared the facts on exactly how the pill kills babies. This year, we will expose the sordid details surrounding the tragic effects these chemicals have on women. We will emphasize the truth about how the pill kills women.
Join American Life League and protest the pill. Help us unmask the truth and hopefully save lives. You can do this by having a presence outside of doctors' offices, pharmacies, Planned Parenthood clinics and other family planning facilities, or even out on the sidewalk at a busy intersection. Wherever it is – help get the word out!"
(End of excerpt)
The American Life League apparently claimed the protest was being held today because it was the anniversary of their first protest against the pill and other forms of birth control but the actually anniversary is tomorrow, June 7. I guess it was too much to resist having this ridiculous protest on the same day as Dr. George Tiller's funeral!
The next time you see Jill Stanek's name in a link in an anti-choice discussion please consider the source. This fanatic has no credibility whatsoever!

[question posted by anniepa]responses and comments:
Does this woman want to take us back a hundred years, when women died far too early because they were worn out with having too many babies? Or perhaps she'd prefer to see the unplanned and unwanted children starving to death or being sent to work in factories at 8 years old to help with the family budget? People like this make me wish their mother had taken the birth control pill instead of bringing such a waste of space into the world. [Sandra1952]
She's quite definitely in the running, Zeph! Annie [anniepa]
That's a little over the top I'd say. Scientists say that women have a fertilization take place more often than they know about and that each of us women have been pregnant without knowing it. So to say the pill kills babies doesn't make any sense. If you're going to look at it that way then how many men have committed mass murder with a Victoria's Secret catalog? [irishidid]
ROFLMAO!!!!!! lol [spalladino]
That would be like saying every single sperm that doesn't fertalize an egg is a killed baby. Every egg we allow to bleed from our body each month unfertalized is a killed baby. What sort of world would we live in if we didn't use birth control? [katsmeow1213]
LOL! Gets confusing when a thread grows with lots of folks commenting, huh? lol [spalladino]
What will the pro-overpopulation movement think of next? I'm sure that condoms will be the next baby killer. I wonder how that crazy movement justifies killing living breathing people? [ZephyrSun]
I'll sure they'll find some way to spin it that condoms kills babies also. The bottom line is SEX IS EVIL unless it's solely intended for procreation. Annie [anniepa]
My wife and i have one daughter and she's enough for us to handle, so we take birth control measures, but I do not consider myself a baby killer. Taking birth control measures prevent the actual development of a baby in the first place, so there would be no baby to harm in my opinion.......Taking birth control is not necessarily a bad thing because you are going against the way nature intended (the way some put it). some people just want to have the choice of having one or no children and that should be okay. Besides, thank god for those who use birth control and don't mind being called a "baby killer" because the world we live in is so over-populated (mostly with morons) anyway. [bag_of_burning_poo]
man u r smart i wish i could be u i vote u 4 best response. [Man_Who_Lies_A_Lot]
This is starting to get to the ludicrous extreme, exemplified by the Catholic church at one point basically asserting that masterbation was murder. If either of these were true, it would mean a woman who refused to have sex during ovulation would be committing murder by failing to get that egg used. The birth control pill has some serious risks, but tying a call for greater care in its application with the murdering of unborn babies is a ridiculous stretch! I guess I have to face it: I'm Anti-Life. [heathcliff]
I'm sure when you get our tubes cut and tied like I did that makes you a perpetual baby killer, right? I'm sure the pro-overpopulation folks will try to spin that as negatively as possible and call it the serial killing of (potential) babies. It wouldn't surprise me if they went so far as to claim that women who get their tubes tied are turning their wombs into "baby death traps." Just because someone can have a baby doesn't mean she should have one. glare [akuseru]
lol this just makes me laugh...this is so ridiculous!!! i dont even know what to say! wow...some people are ridiculous. [britt_200]
"some people are ridiculous" says it all! Annie [anniepa]
I hate WND. World Nut Daily is more like it. They are whack jobs. I cannot agree with a single piece of crap that they spew. It seems that they'd rather there be starving children born to poor families that can barely support the three or four kids they've already got. And the pill doesn't kill anything. It PREVENTS pregnancy. It just blocks the sperm from attaching to an egg. A baby is NEVER created. How is that being a 'baby killer'? I say kill the lot of them. I'm tired of the blah blah blah crap they enjoy hearing themselves say on a daily basis. I think we'd be better off. [highflyingxangel]
I'd never say to KILL them but I sure wish they'd get some education before they run their mouths. AND learn to mind their own business! Annie [anniepa]
Unmask the truth? You mean doctors haven't been telling women about the potential risks from taking the Pill for years and years now? Those sneaky b@stards! Personally, I preferred the convenience of the Depo shot for long term killing without the hassle of killing every day. My daughter had her tubes tied...I wonder if that qualifies her as a serial killer? blink [spalladino]
Yeah I mean, the doctor's never tell you about the risks or that it won't work if you don't use it regularly, and that information DEFINITELY isn't included in every single package of birth control you buy. Only extremely stupid people can honestly buy into this crap. [Latrivia]
Well... I'm a baby killer. But technically, I never took the pill. I preferred the depo shot. I thought it would be more responsible to stop at 1 kid and life a financially stable life than have more kids than I could afford. Silly me. [lisan23]
I guess you're supposed to have them and then starve them or whatever... Annie [anniepa]
the only people who would think or believe this are those that have no idea how the body works. Birth Control prevents pregnancy, it makes your eggs infertile, as a result no baby is made..some people and their ignorance really gets on my nerves at times. THey really expect us to believe this crap. People educate yourselfs do not depend on any media outlet to do it for you [meandmy3]
I wonder what Jesus must think of women who take birth control pills. We are really living on borrowed times here. What was once a great moral nation is now a morally challenged nation. [TheRepublicMenu]
This is a tough topic. But I might as well give my two cents worth of thoughts about this matter. I'm not againts birth control the reason is if women don't use it, we will be over populated in this world. Just imagined how many babies will born in to this world if there's no contraception. I agree there is a need for control. If a medicine could be found to stop unwanted pregnancy and this particular medicine wont kill sperm cell them I'm one hundred percent supporting it. But how? Or is it possible?sad [reckon21]
Although I no longer have to worry about it I'd be very happy if they came up with a 100% foolproof method which isn't affected by other drug interactions such as antibiotics which can make the pill ineffective and with no side effects! Annie [anniepa]
Somewhere in the Philadelphia sewer system, the remains of over a billion and a half potential babies are gathered. ..And I'm solely responsible for putting them there. Although several "Playboy", "Hustler" and other types of sorted reading material may have helped commit the crime, I will not hold them responsible for the violence that I have committed... ...single-handedly. [mrghill]
May you be punished with the worst case of carpel tunnel EVER! Annie [anniepa]
Just as an informational thing...not all Catholics believe this and not all people that believe this are Catholic...just to set the record straight. [hornswaggled]
Like me.....and everyone my age in my church...if you go to most Catholic churches in the states you will see two or three kids in each family....God's idea or not? [hornswaggled]
I think Jill Stanek is a fool who just wants media attention. Her articles shouldn't even be published. [coffeeshot]
Well, she DOES have the same freedom of speech and expression as we do but I can't believe someone like her has the following she apparently has. Annie [anniepa]
Some people have no clue. Can you imagine the news stories we would see if all those "babies" weren't prevented? How many abused kids dead in the woods? How many thrown away teens because no one could care for them as they grew? How fast would the world's resources fade? Some people scare me. [TLChimes]
You can say that again! There is life AFTER birth and therefore AFTER conception and implantation. Unfortunately the "pro-life" extremists don't see it that way. Annie [anniepa]
Are we suppose to have sex without birth control and then have baby after baby with no way of financially taking care of them. What are people thinking? Does the "normal" female want 5 or more kids that they can't afford. Give me a break this is totally ridiulous. Thanks for the info! [lelin1123]
According to these idiots I guess so, or else don't have sex for the rest of your life if you're not fully prepared and willing to have a baby. Annie [anniepa]
Wow that is completely over the top. I am pro-life but I definitely wouldn't take it that far. I take birth control and I won't stop until I am ready to start a family. It's not that you are killing a baby, you are preventing it from happening. It's these types of over the top people that give the "normal" pro-life people a bad name and reputation. [dreamr802]
Oh that is so ridiculous, even for worldnetdaily,,,,i guess I'm a baby killer, think of the insanity in the world if no woman took birth control methods, so they just want everyone whose not a nun or otherwise celibate, to be a mother to who knows how many children, and here is my response to these people,,,,they say that taking birth control is killing babies,,,,and they probably think that God has a reason for things and God makes a person physically, so what about the women who can't concieve because of something physically wrong with them, according to their standard, doesn't that make God a baby killer too???? (i'm not saying i think that, im just showing that they don't think their standards through wink) [spicysweetie21]
I have no clue what people think anymore, i just got called a loose woman by another person because I personally am Pro-Choice, but made it clear two times that i myself have never, or could never have an abortion myself, but because of my views, i was told if i had children, they would be better off with a pro lifer....because i stated i don't have children yet, this person insinuated that i must have had abortions and thats why i don't have children.....when i called this person out saying "hey don't make assumptions about me when you don't know me" (paraphrased) they continued to insult me more....some people just want to be mean,hurtful, and spiteful,,it upset me needless to say ,oh and they also said that "If the potential sperm donor doesn't want to do it safely, then he and you ought not partake"....I take responsibility of my actions and use birth control pills, but that doesn't matter because either way, im a baby killer in someones eyes, so in their eyes I as a woman, have no choice in anything, im supposed to be baby making machine [spicysweetie21]
I think what she is trying to say here is that many women are not aware that although the contraceptive pill is designed to prevent ovulation, it may not always do so and if an egg is fertilized, it will not implant. An egg or a sperm by itself are not life, they are not babies. The pill is designed to prevent their coming together by making the uterus inhospitable to sperm and preventing the release of an egg. So all the comments about unfertilized eggs and sperms being killed babies are not off the point. She is talking about fertilized eggs, or rather, embryos. I admit to not knowing that contraceptive pills don't always prevent conception. Actually, if it is contra - ception, it is against conception. So one could be excused for not realizing that conception may take place but the fertilized egg is prevented from implanting on about the 8th day, when the embryo has normally made its way down the fallopian tube. Conception does not take place in the uterus, but in the fallopian tube and the embryo is there for a period of days before it goes to the uterus to implant in the uterine wall. Now, if someone, like Jill Stanek, believes that life begins at conception, then she believes that preventing that life from implanting in the uterus and basically causing a spontaneous abortion, that person would think it was killing the embryo. No doubt that many fertilized eggs fail to implant without contraception, this happens naturally. Sometimes an implanted embryo fails to grow normally, and there is a miscarriage. These things do happen. But usually it is because the embryo is not viable and would not result in a normal pregnancy. The body has a way of taking care of these situations. I think this is information that some women who believe in life at conception would want to know. They would want to know if they were doing something that was against their strongly-held beliefs. Should no one tell them? Everyone should be entitled to all the information about any medication, treatment or contraceptive method they are taking regularly. If the doctors or the pharmaceutical companies don't tell them, someone else has to. [Rollo1]
I'm sorry. I just have to try to point out once again that this entire discussion is based on a complete misunderstanding of the position of Jill Stanek and the point of her protest. First, she does not say women are baby killers. The Pill Kills refers to the health risks that it poses for women and she lists some women who have died as a result of taking birth control. So, her point is actually that the pill kills women. Secondly, there is so much misinformation about the egg, sperm, zygote and embryo on these pages that it's impossible to address it all. Sure, it sounds great to ramble on about killing potential babies if you ejaculate and the sperm go down the drain or if you ovulate and the egg isn't fertilized and it gets people all in a lather. But that's not what she's talking about. I would expect women to get very upset about the prospect of not having contraceptive pills available to them. I also expect that women would be interested in knowing how they work. I don't actually either agree or disagree with her. I just would like people to actually read and understand what they are talking about before they start getting all upset. [Rollo1]
I can't see any thing wrong with taking birth control pills. I started my daughter on them when she was really young she's now 32yr's old with to healthly children I felt it's better to be safe than sorry.The doctor agree with me if she going have any more it's all up to her not me.I took them as well.I don't feel that they are baby killers that is a bit much.You are right about it ridiclous. cd [crazydaisy]
That is more than a little bit ridiculous. The pill is preventing conception to begin with and is not...could not be considered killing babies. With all the over-population and all, this is just a dumb, sick protest. I am pro-choice but I would rather see more girls get educated on preventing unwanted pregnancy than to see them in the situation where they have to make such a difficult choice. Abolishing birth control would only find even more women seeking abortions. This woman is a lunatic. [sid556]
Pills don't kill babies. They don't even kill fetuses. Both the preventive bc pills and "emergency" contraceptives prevent fertilization. Most of the time thing doesn't even manage to make it to a zygote. These people need to do the world a favor and STFU. [Latrivia]
Well said and with so few words! Annie [anniepa]
decent contraception reduces abortion rates so why on earth are pro-lifers against it? [jb78000]
Good question! The extremists lump many birth control methods right in with abortions so I don't know where they expect to put all the babies that would be born if they got all that they wanted! I guess they'd like to bring back chastity belts...lol! Annie [anniepa]
Wow......lol. So, I am, as you put it, "anti-choice", because I am pro life, (except when the life of the mother is in danger or there is no chance of a viable full term pregnancy) but I am far from anti birth control. Birth control prevents the need for abortion. Annie, this woman represents the pro-life movement like Shirly roper represents baptists or like Osama bin Laden represents Islam. She is a bit of a nut, ok, so she is a lot of a nut, but she hardly represents the main stream pro-life movement. [xfahctor]
X, great to hear. Now it would be nice for someone on the national level his this. [thegreatdebater]
Annie, I wonder what "rambling myLotter's" you could be taking about? I have read these post, and I agree that neither our "rambling myLotter's ", nor this idiot Stanek has a clue what they are talking about. These people make me laugh, how is it that you can't justify save the life of a mother, but you can justify taking the life of a doctor? I was listening to the great Randall Terry on Monday, and someone called up and asked him if he considered every women in the world a murder. He asked her why she said this, and the caller said that every month an egg is released in a womens body, and if it isn't fertilized then it is destroyed. Isn't that a potential life that is being destroyed? Aren't their millions of eggs dying every day? The great Mr. Terry had no answer to these questions, he just avoided them, and moved on. [thegreatdebater]
He sure is crazy! Maybe he's "crazy like a fox" since he's managed to keep his own hands clean while homicidal maniacs like Scott Roeder do his dirty work. Annie [anniepa]
She's right! We're all murderers for killing these innocent little babies! It would be so much better if we brought them into the world when the parents obviously don't want kids or another kid! We need families to be huge so that there is no parent to child bonding at all. Besides, we can put them up for adoption, since there are so many loving parents that won't abuse the child once taken in. [trose7]
Become a foster parent, if you really want o see the naked ugly truth of a total pro-life stance. Take in one kid, just ONE who has been neglected, abused, starved, broken, raped or simply discarded like so much trash. I've had 3, one so badly broken (emotionally) we don't know if he will ever live a "normal" life. Live that poor kids life, and you will see the absolute NEED for abortions to be available. If this kid commits suicide, and we think he will try at some point, will his birth parents be guilty of murder/attempted murder? They are already guilty in our eyes. ANYONE & anything can procreate, most CAN parent, some choose not to, yet still churn out the "LIVING BREATHING BABIES!!!". Once the cute wears off, or the marriage isn't saved, that child becomes a weapon to be used in the courts... I'm off on a segue rant.... sorry Jo [JodiLynn]
Hi Anniepa I think she's suffering to the IUD or Intrauterine Device as an abortion inducing birth control device. As far as I know the pill just inhibits the woman from ovulating. The IUD does not prevent ovulation so there is an actual union of the sperm and egg, in other word an actual zygote is formed, but it prevents the egg from implanting in the uterus and the zygote dies after some time. Sorry for the science lesson lol :D but I agree this Jill Stanek protesting against the pill is ridiculous. Maybe she has current scientific information about the pill being a baby killer but seriously she should do her research first and provide people with the facts before jumping the gun with acne treatment gel. Thank you for this wonderful topic. [thenextnoel]
I've read her website and apparently she says the pill is a baby killer because sometimes it CAN'T prevent ovulation and an actual baby is formed which then dies because of the hormone imbalance the pill causes. But seriously, this has been on the instructions for those taking the pill, that 1% of the time the pill may fail and the woman can get pregnant, but it isn't sufficient cause to pull the product off the market. [thenextnoel]
Now I think that's overrated....I think this woman is out the fact that we are hundreds of millions of people on earth already and many of these people do not have stable jobs and homeless...how many more should she want these people to produce just to add extra burdens on their lives...now I'm not saying children are burdens but if a parent is not even on the capability to have more what else would happen to them? Nothing but rely on feeding programs.... I guess she doesn't know what the responsibilities are to have many children...hence, taking pills is nothing related to killing babies...we are trying to prevent producing a life now if there's no life then there's nothing to kill....I guess if we won't take contraeptives and get unwanted pregnancy each time and have abortion legal what does she thinks of it? I guess with that she will protest more because that it real killing a life....she can have more babies if she wants but she needs to wake up with reality....in this kind of world right now, we don't need to produce more children that we can't even feed...we will just be unfair to these children if ever since were not capable of giving them what they deserve. She needs to think just before she opens her mouth with this. [angel_of_charm]
This is an extension of the anti-choice movement for some extremists like this Jill. They've trying to get legal abortions banned for years and now they're working on birth control as well. The irony is many of the same people in this movement are also opposed to helping these babies and their parents AFTER they're born. We're "killing" them before they even have any brain cells to feel or be aware of anything yet after they've been brought into this world if they suffer from malnutrition and live in poverty, even suffer and DIE from lack of proper health care that's not their problem. Annie [anniepa]
This statement it totally false. Birth control stops your eggs from dropping so that they can be fertilized. The egg is not killed. And even if it were the egg is only one/half of a baby. It seems to me that stupid statements like this do much more to harm the protest instead of helping. [savypat]
Well a pharmacy is a shop and shop keepers have the right to carry what products they want. All rights must be respected here even when you don't agree. [savypat]
Well, while I may agree that birth control is bad for our bodies... we live in a day and age where our society is so dependent on money to keep things running smoothly. And with this is now a lack of money. And so it is impossible to have larger families as it was before. I personally would not mind dying at a younger age from having many children because my children can live on as my gift to the world. But, until our society can become less dependent on currency to raise our families it is not in our children's best interest to have a large family. I don't agree with abortion... I don't deny someone their right to an abortion, but I do feel that it is wrong. Being on birth control is a precaution on my part to keep me from being put in the situation where I would have to decide, be poorer than I am... or have an abortion. I choose life... and the 3 children that I now have are enough... for now! [dismalgrin]
I would love to be there for my grandchildren. But, having children is a natural function of our bodies. My own mother had 7 children and she is one of the healthiest people I know. So, by saying that I wouldn't mind giving my life for the joy of giving children to the future, I'm also asserting that I feel that this is a far shot. Something that is a natural function of our bodies to do is more likely to only be bad for us if we don't do it properly. Call me a fanatic if you will. Haha, but I respect everyone's beliefs on this subject and I have actually optioned to used birth control myself for financial/political reasons for the time being. [dismalgrin]
Well Annie this is my belief, if it is really meant for a woman to have a child no birth control can stop her from getting pregnant. How do I know this? I was faithful to birth control and got pregnant twice on it. Just call me Fertle Mertle! Just keep on teaching your children abstanance only and when the hormones begin to rage you are going to sound like WOODSTOCK from Charlie Brown. Then when your daughter begins to have a baby every 13 months and has 5 by the time she is 21 years old and can't take of them and now the burden is put on the grandparents whcih also can not financially handle it, then all the children go to the state are placed in any foster home it can get them in. All the children separated. Tell me where are the family values in this. You complain about welfare now just wait if something like this would happen to creep up. [grammasnook]
Annie, My husband worked with a man that took in foster children, he would talk on two way with his wife and he would ask if john took out the trash, painted the garage and mowed the lawn. If he did not complete his "chore" his comment was we could trade him in for another one. He would take in as many children as possible for a paycheck he would eat a huge meal while the kids had a hotdog. The children had rediculous "chores" which I call modern day slavery! This is a man that got his ministry degree in jail will someone please give me a freakin break! He sold his pain medication to some of the kids that worked there and stole materals from his job all the time. I called the department of social services and I reported him, they told me since the children were not being physically abused they would keep them there because they did not have the room for the teenagers. I didn't dear call my husbands work and tell the boss because after all that was his job and I didnt want anything falling on him. I pray for the day that I will be blessed with enough funds to buy a huge home so I can begin to help the children that are kicked out of the system at the age of 18 with no where to go and with little to no guidance. This population of children are bound to become drug addicts and thieves for survival Imagine the feeling of dont let the door hit you in the arse on the way out and you can fend for yourself. Shame on this system, I have 5 biological children and trust me when I tell you that I have about 50 kids that come to me when they are troubled because their parents have been drug addicts and criminals through the childrens whole life. [grammasnook]
Thank you for your discussion. The more I read about this I'm able to understand more about the pros and cons. [libby2009]
I used to take pills years ago but I took them no more than a year. I was single with one child and I didn't want to bring anymore children to this earth. I got off the pill to get permanent surgery to not have anymore. Now that I feel differently religiously, I would have never done this. I would have preferred to just abstain. [libby2009]
Okay, I had to read that twice. I can't belive that in this day and age that a WOMAN would really think caveman. Seriously, when you think of all the 'back alley' forms of planned parenthood this is taking a serious step BACK into putting women in harms way. Protest the pill. I'm sorry, but there are enough children abandoned in dumpsters, hospital and other less glamerous places and the very thing that can prevent this WOMAN is protesting? I'm sorry, at a loss of how she can even think that would be in the best interests of her own sisterhood. [kprofgames]
Incredible, isn't it? To these people the "best interests" are only that children be born, I guess not only those who have been conceived but those who MAY be conceived. Once they cross over into this world, they're on their own. That's why I have the problem with the phrase "pro-life". Life doesn't END at birth! Annie [anniepa]
omg, I am one, on multiple levels! 1st, we pregnant while on BS pills...so how do I count those that "may have been, but are no longer probable"? hmmm...... Then, after the birth of our youngest (now 16) we (HE!!!) got snipped...oh, and He was raised a catholic. He's been cured though, you need not worry! lol My daughters are both on BC, not because we condone them being sexually active, but to PROTECT the VIABLE LIFE that they enjoy now to continue. Oh yes, I am guilty guilty guilty!!! just so you know, most women can have an "at home" abortion, self induced, with a bit of help from Mother Nature (NOT god!). 3 days of strategically placed parsley and the PH factor induces spontaneous abortion. all one has to do is google "natural abortion"....but as with all medical things, BE CAREFUL, research thoroughly all options, THEN make decisions. [JodiLynn]
I'd just like to reiterate that if anyone considers attempting any "natural" remedies for pregnancy or anything else, PLEASE be careful! I love your phrase "PROTECT the VIABLE LIFE that they enjoy now"! That says it all! When my daughter was growing up I felt that I was willing to take my chances that some would say I was condoning her being sexually active if I approved her using birth control but I figured I'd much rather be safe than sorry! It's not only an unplanned pregnancy at risk for teens, it could be their very lives. Annie [anniepa]
I'm sorry, but each woman should have the choice whether or not to take the pill. If we want to chance dying, it's nobody else's business but our own. That said, getting rid of the pill or other forms of contraceptives is about as smart as getting rid of the ozone layer. The planet is already struggling with over population, lessening food sources, drinking water loss, flooding in other parts, so let's all join hands and force people to have babies till we finally starve ourselves to death. What a way to go! Let's all stop "killing babies" by taking the pill, that way they can die the natural way by starving, being sold cause parents can't afford to keep them (to suffer in ways I won't discuss), dehydration when the drinking water runs low, and a variety of other unpleasant ways. Let's hear it for civilization! Where a child can have the chance to live, to most likely die in a singularily unpleasant way. [snowcat46]
Actually, no, I wouldn't. First off, how would they know for certain how the child would turn out? Is the person who 'discovered' that gene a bigot? Would they lie? If there was a gene that caused a person to be gay, would that scientist say that was the gene that caused a murderer? That way he could prevent gays from existing? How can we know, for sure, that scientist isn't following some other agenda? Scientists are human too. They can let themselves be sidetracked by a personal vendetta. How can we be certain? I'm not a scientist, to be able to follow his research. [snowcat46]
I read one of the links and the findings were really shocking. Some prescription legally acceptable drugs don't suit all ladies. Some died as a result of using birth control. Perhaps the barrier form is better than a pill or a patch. A birth control pill prevents pregnancy and isn't the same as an abortion which is killing a baby. I think life begins at conception. Pregnancy begins at week 4, 2 weeks after the lady's last period. [maximax8]
Maximax8, Ovulation, or the release of an egg occurs somewhere between day 11 and day 21 of a woman's cycle. The egg is released from the ovary into the fallopian tube. Fertilization and conception take place in the fallopian tube. It is about 6 - 12 days after release that the egg will travel down the fallopian tube and implant on the uterine lining. If the egg is not fertilized, it will disintegrate and be absorbed by the uterine lining. In this case, the lining will be shed during the menstrual flow. If the egg was fertilized, it implants. This is when pregnancy is said to occur. However conception, or fertilization occurred several days prior to the implanting. Doctors count 40 weeks from your last period to estimate your due date. You are actually pregnant for only 38 weeks. [Rollo1]
I can understand being against abortion more than this. There it can be a question of when life begins but, HELLO... there is not baby yet. All that is happening is preventing. If people truly believe that God gives life, then it will happen, no matter what. He gives us the ability to do things and that comes from Him, too. I became pregnant while on the pill, so I feel that it was meant to be. That was back in the 70's, too. We do need to not step back into the stone ages when women had little choice and were almost non-people, under the thumb of men and religion (run by men) as it happens in some countries still.

i think that this person maybe did something in her teens that is now eating her up.we are living in an era where women choose what they want and how many kids they want because we now have a voice and we want that voice heard.i dont think that she should want to decide what people do in their private life.she needs to get a better life.

I am so sick of hearing people say these kinds of things. Any doctor can tell you that birth control pill prevent eggs from being fertilized- there is no baby to "kill." [megumiart]
to prevent a pregnancy, by any method, is not murder. Just prevented pregnancies. [General_Spacey]

It is not anti choice, it is called Pro Death. And the only lunatic around is the one who wishes to kill an unborn child. [TheRepublicMenu]
I'm not sure whether to take you seriously or to assume you're being sarcastic. I sure hope it's the latter! Annie [anniepa]
unfertilised eggs aint babies, what an idiot! [jb78000]
