“Not every contraceptive is an abortifacient so I imagine he meant those forms.”
Incorrect. Every birth control pill on the market, chemical implant, and hardware implant, is abortifacient.
They’re intended to prevent conception, but when that mechanism fails and conception occurs, the back-up plan is the prevention of embryo implantation by thinning of the uterine lining. The embryo dies.
That’s an abortion.
I’m not in favor of banning these methods, but let’s not lie to ourselves about how they work.
By your definition then, I AM in favor of banning those methods.
Blue Ink,
I think Middleearth was referring to condoms, which are not abortifacients.
Thanks for more clearly stating what I was trying to state.
