“To these people, birth control and abortion are one and the same.”

Actually, they are. The birth control pill is not a preventative, but an abortifacient. It does not prevent fertilization, only implantation. The baby is already formed, but cannot reach its intended target of the mother’s uterus to begin the growing process. What happens next is that the tiny human being that is now formed is then aborted by the mother’s body. Women may see some spotting, which is commonly referred to as “breakthrough bleeding”, but what she is actually experiencing is similar to a miscarriage.

Go to the American Life League’s web site, ALL.org, for much more information than I can provide.

Best endorsement for McLame I've seen to date!

Indeed, it is. A few more like this and I could warm up to the guy.

I have said many, may times that the left has ZERO to use against McCain in this general election that isn’t 30 years old. The guy is an open book and his positions are well known. This is in direct contrast to Hussein who is being defined by the minute by a past full of contradictions and highly questionable statements and behavior.

“pro-choice movement” This term is always applied to just murdering innocent babies, but I think we should expand it to Pro Choice for general murder, or Pro Choice for Rape, or Pro Choice for Pedophilia, or Pro Choice for whatever the selfish bastards want to do. Hey, let’s not let them limit themselves when it comes to inventing PC phrases. I am sure that our prison brethren are “PRO CHOICE!”

John McCain is against birth control or against the public funding of birth control? There is a vast difference here and I had not heard he was against pregnancy prevention.

In liberalspeak, you're "against" anything you don't think should be publicly funded. In other words, if I don't think that all senior citizens should be provided with a catered lunch at government expense every day, I'm "against seniors having food" and "for starving seniors."

Something must have changed over the years, because I was taught that the standard oral birth control pill prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation, by mimicking the hormonal effects of pregnancy.

Oral contraceptives work my one of three mechanisms:

It is the third effect that leads pro-lifers to say that oral contraception is an abortafacient.

“During his 25 years in office, Sen. McCain has consistently voted to block low-income women’s access to birth control,” NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan said

Uh... Nancy, why should taxpayers pay for 'access to birth control'? And is that anything like taxpayers paying for my 'access to bullets'?

If so, where do I sign up for my 'free taxi service' (access) to my local gun shop. I need more 9mm Hollow Points.

It’s starting. The leftist trashing machine is gearing up for action. It will find everything negative it can say about McCain.

Why is McCain against birth control and abortion? He’s a liberal afterall.

This will serve our purposes well. The more they attack McCain on abortion the more they will remind people of the mengle like bastard that barack curious george mcgovern is AND it will confound the “youth vote.” They have listened to the rat and his minions of the ratmedia telling them there is no shame in an out of wedlock baby for so long that they now believe it. They are coming to ask “Why should we kill our babies? Babies are cool man. Kill’em is wrong man.” This is NOT me saying this. Surveys show that the group in which abortion is losing its appeal the most is the the young people group.

Get one yourself and learn how to correctly spell abortifacient, Einstein.

Do you feel superior now, Napoleon?

potatoe. potato.

You should have (if you could have) made the argument that there is a difference between a contraceptive and an abortofacient, in terms of tactic: one is to prevent pregnancy, the other, to end it.

But I guess if you could have, you would have.

Where the two are in fact identical to "us people" is that both are mechanisms to prevent the natural consequence of sexual intercourse.

Man against God, as always.

Nothing new under the sun, is there.

Of course, nowadays, she's paying someone $500 do swing a machete at the baby, but that's just a detail.
