Editorial - Contraception war

[Guest guest]

Here is a link someone on another list sent out:http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2006605300339Here is an excerpt:Sometimes the arguments for restricting access to birth control are framed as arguments against abortion. Those opposed to contraception say a pregnancy begins at the moment of fertilization, and, therefore, anything that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus is an abortifacient, including birth control pills and IUDs.Of course, that's not what the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says. Its 49,000 members define pregnancy as beginning at the moment of implantation, the traditional medical view.After all, even under ideal conditions, only half of all fertilized eggs attach themselves to the uterine wall. The ones that don't aren't considered dead souls. Also, a woman's body doesn't begin to nurture an egg until it is implanted in the womb. Is this really the "traditional medical view?"Peace & blessings,Diane
