The idea that contraceptives, like birth control pills or IUDs, would be made illegal is misinformation. It is not true. That was one of the talking points of the pro-aborts who opposed this ballot initiative here in Mississippi.

Abortions would be illegal, not birth control pills. Abortifacient drugs, like RU486, however, would be illegal, because they acutally kill an unborn baby. Ordinary contraceptives do not.

Following conception, the pill prevents a fertilized egg from implanting.

Are you debating that fact? Or are you saying that the fertilized egg would not count as a person yet? Your blanket dismissal as misinformation ignores the text of the amendment and the reality of what the birth control pill does.

Thanks for your polite reply. I am all for any law that makes abortion illegal except in the very rare occasion that a womans physical life is in danger, or as I said in my reply in the case that a fetus dies while still in the uterus, but person hood for some means a much more restrictive law that could be construed as anti-contraceptive..I have had such persons reply to me as such. All contrception is wrong according to some and I can see where the Mississippi law could be construed as such by some zealot. On both sides of the coin not all are reasonable...They would condemn even when the physical life of the mother is in danger on one side, and partial birth abortion on the other side...

But some are self-rightous in their stand on being anti contraceptive..I have had them say so in discussions on contraception...a minority maybe but they are out there..and use the term personhood to condemn any contraception. The first time was over a year ago. Thats when I became anti-abortion not pro-life because of what some have said on the subject.
