"Do you think this woman stopped using the pill as a result of this incident?"

Would you throw a Jew in the gas chamber knowing that refusing to wouldn't have stopped Hitler from committing genocide?

The woman wouldn't have stopped and could probably get a replacement prescription if not immediately, within 24 hours.

You lose. First person to bring Hitler into an argument is an automatic loser.

Uh, you're changing the subject. You originally asked whether one should not steal in order to prevent murder; however, even if one stipulates that the use of oral contraceptives is murder, you must also consider the likelihood that one's act of stealing will actually prevent it -- in this case, nearly zero.

So you should have asked whether one is justified in stealing to make murder slightly less convenient.
