Do you view the sale and/or use of regular birth control pills as the moral equivalent of "murdering Jews?" If not, then on what basis do you conclude that the sale and/or use of Plan B is the moral equivalent of "murdering Jews?"

You confuse two different examples. I believe that the distribution of an abortifaciant which is intended for the deliberate killing of innocent human beings is material participation in murder. Whether or not hormonal contraception is a abortifaciant of a primary or secondary effect is debatable and so, therefore, the degree of culpable homicide in that instance is also debatable.

Huh? The question was, since regular birth control pills and Plan B operate with the effective mechanism (each being capable of preventing implantation, stopping ovaries from releasing an egg, or stopping an egg from being fertilized by sperm), do you view both birth control methods as the moral equivalent of (in your words) "murdering Jews." If not, on what basis do you distinguish the two?

Your oblique dodge of the question and your reference to "debatables" in the issue just highlights the juvenile bombast in your casual accusations that others on this board are the equal of "Nazis" and "murderers."
