It gets crazier… Hanna Klaus From: Hanna Klaus Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 11:27 AMTo: 'Communications Communications'Subject: RE: President contradicts ACOG No, it does not PREVENT. Prevention is a positive act of interference with a process. Not to initiate something is passive.

They are synonymous. Norplant, Depo Provera and the intrauterine device do not function as abortifacients. All contraceptives, including these FDA-approved methods, prevent ovulation, fertilization and/or implantation. The definition of contraception is to prevent pregnancy, which occurs at implantation. RU-486 is not considered birth control. This is a medication used to cause an abortion once pregnancy has begun.Misleading use of medical terminology left unaddressed serves to continue confusing women and the public. N.
