FDA unleashes new threat to human babies
"In the midst of a terror campaign and a frightening battle against anthrax, the FDA has somehow been able to find the time to sanction yet another form of baby killing," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "The newly-approved birth control patch uses the same abortion-causing chemicals used in many other so-called contraceptives."
With its approval of the birth control patch, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now approved its fourth new "contraceptive" option in the last year. The skin patch has been added to a collection that already includes a monthly injection, a hormone-emitting IUD, and a hormone-emitting contraceptive ring.
"All these devices deliver the same hormones to the woman's body and all work in the same manner," said Mrs. Brown. "They all affect the uterine lining and prevent implantation of a newly-conceived human being, thus causing the end of that human being's life."
"The FDA should be ashamed of itself," said Mrs. Brown. "All Americans should reject this new form of baby killing and seek to protect all innocent human life, from fertilization to natural death."

How intolerant of you.
For the record...most abortions are performed between 6-12 weeks. If there's a heartbeat by 10 days just imagine what else is developed by 6-12 weeks.
You answered: "I have observed that you anti-abortionists do not treat a two week old miscarriage like a person. You flush them down the toilet. If you truely belived the two week old fetus to be a person, you would treat it like a person."
Your answer seems to be that a two week old miscarried baby deserves a funeral I guess, but since they don't get one, they must not be human beings. Since pro-life people don't have funerals for early miscarriages, they really don't think they were carrying a baby.
I can assure you that pro-life people mourn the loss of their miscarried babies and depending on the stage of development, some do have funerals. Maybe they don't do it in a way that satisfies you. If they did have a funeral and a burial, would you then be convinced that the 2 week old fetus is a human person deserving protection? Would that make you pro-life?
It seems like you are trying to justify your pro-abortion position by pointing out a perceived hypocrasy on the part of pro-lifers. Since pro-lifers don't behave they way you think they should, you must be right in thinking its ok to intentionally kill the unborn.

That would be a shattering blow to freedom and a very dark day for this country.
Think of all the women you would be killing by forcing them into coat hanger abortion apartments. Have you now compassion for life?
and did what?
You are a fool if you expect me to believe the majority of the early term miscarriages of anti-abortionist do not go down the toilet.
Not at all. I have great respect for the Creator.
I do have disdain for the myths about the Christian god and the fairy tales in the book you call the bible.
I do have distain for all the killing that has been done in the name of your god.
I do have distain for all of the followers of your god who feel justified in enslaving the rest of mankind.
I do have distain for people who attack me and call me names in the name of your god.
I do not have distain for people who homeschool their kids. We have homeschooled our all our kids.
I respect that. I truely do. That fact that you have stood by your belief gives me the greatest respect for you. While I do not believe you can change my opinons, you are one person to whom I will listen closely.
You have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your two children.
I have no problem with her believing anything she wants. I do have a problem when she tries to force her beliefs upon others.
No. But I would believe that YOU believed what you are preaching.
If they abort a fetus in the first three months of pregnancy it is not killing a baby human. It is killing a fetus which has the potential to become a baby human.
Not if you have your way. You want to take away her choice. remember?
Too bizarre to be mistaken for anything else but the condition of a diseased spirit is the dichotomy of thought manifested in the appeal, on the one hand, to the poor, illiterate, unloved, socially-disadvantaged, abused and abusing bastard of incestuous rape who will only be an additional drain on an already overpopulated planet unless he/she/it should first agonizingly die from a genetic defect inherited from parents too selfish and insensitive toward it, toward themselves, and toward the welfare of society to prevent its suffering by means of a "therapeutic" abortion; and, on the other hand, to Noble Woman, guardian and embodiment of Constitutional virtue, struggling to protect herself from the advances of a rapacious, patriarchal religion and society, to cast off the biological shackles slapped on her by a cruel and unjust evolution.
It is a rationale designed to justify any choice and to silence any criticism. It is an awfully big gun to pull out for something they allege to be merely a medical decision between a woman and her physician. To remove or not to remove a wart is a decision on that level.
And here is where the slip shows--although they claim (or want to believe) that the act of abortion is nothing, attempting to prevent, to limit, or even to talk first about their doing it is everything.
"Hey! Get the hell off of my will! Just who do you think you are to attempt to even think about imposing your morality on me? Besides, can't you see how much I'm suffering?" they say while imposing something far more severe than morality on those who literally depend on them for life.
To put it even more into perspective, imagine a bumper sticker reading: My fetus was chosen Unviable Tissue Mass of the Month at the Me-First Womyn's Health Center.
Even lab animals get more consideration.
Abortion is a denial. It is a denial of nature, of responsibility, of self-sacrifice, of love, and of life. And what is left? A will whose choices are unobstructed by any of the above.
"Well, that's done," they say, turning to pat and admire the shape of their uncoerced will. "Maybe I'll take this sweater back today, too."
Morality has no expiration date.
How about the freedom of defenseless babies? They will never enjoy a single bit of freedom.
Without life, it is impossible to experience liberty.
In your mind? Wow. What a powerful argument. Not.
And some are called anti-free choicers.
All of those mentioned do things to hurt other people. When you take the stand that a woman does not have a free choice you hurt that woman.
