Abortion was practiced in America in colonial times, and there have been 'recipes' for abortifacients going back to ancient Egypt. Genocide has been practiced for even longer, technology has merely changed the speed at which it can be accomplished.
Equating the control of one's own fertility with genocide is fallacious.
I did NOT equate them I was pointing out the fallacy of your own justification i. e. Even if you don't see it as 'progress', you have to admit it changed the way the old formulas worked, and as such, is an achievement.
It's merely about having to admit that it changed the way the old formulas worked. Birth control, abortion and genocide all fit that description. (Even if YOU don't see it as 'progress')
