IUDs are primarily designed so that the strings that hang down into the vagina affect the movements of eggs and sperm to prevent fertilization. Affecting the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation is a secondary effect, and some types also release synthetic hormones.
I'm sorry ... but it makes me sick to my stomach the GOP has the temerity to frame itself as "pro-life."
BTW that sign w link was made by an independent graphics designer for his own website not for the GOP, but I am sick as well inasmuch as the GOP is so compromised.
The GOP does however have many outstanding Pro-Lifers at all levels. There is reason to hope (albeit slight)that one day - if CHRISTAINS would vote as Christians and not with their wallet these Pro-Lifers will become a controlling majority. We The People have put this deficient GOP in power; it has been our bad choices. Catholics in particular were never properly catechized as to WHY they are called to vote pro-life. Partly because the many liberal bishops favor dems even though they are the party of abortion.
The dems are outwardly abortion promoters. There is no hope they will change to embrace a pro-life-family-Christian platform.
The 3rd party alternative may be very pro-life-family-Christian, but on the national level they have no realistic chance. If I were to make a "principled" vote for 3rd party I am in effect abandoning what hope there is left of the GOP becoming a genuine party of life.
3rd party helps kerry--unacceptable.
LORD send us a Solomon....who can get elected.
