2) Reproductive endocrinologists have begun in recent years to question that a majority of newly-conceived embryos are lost before implantation, for this estimate includes embryos who have been conceived while their mother is on hormonal birth control, which thins the uterine lining for the express purpose of causing the embryos to be "flushed out" during menstruation. It is thus, not natural for that percentage of new human lives to be ended. Just to be clear hormonal birth control works by supressing egg release, not by flushing out embryos. In fact pro choicers should love birth control pills because they save millions of abortions from happening.

"Just to be clear hormonal birth control works by supressing egg release, not by flushing out embryos. In fact pro choicers should love birth control pills because they save millions of abortions from happening."

Feel free to check up on a few of the sources listed in my second post, or simply read the insert to a pack of birth control pills. It will say that the hormones work in one of three ways: 1) To alter the viscosity of the cervical mucous, preventing sperm from reaching an egg, 2) To suppress ovulation, and 3) To thin the uterine lining, "PREVENTING THE NITTIDATION OF A FERTILIZED OVUM." This, which results frequently from the "breakthrough ovulation" common to low-dose or progesterone-only pills and patches, as well as Depo-Provera, is the abortifacient function to which I referred.

Repeat that to yourself a few times... that can't make sense, even to you.
