“I mean that I want women to have access to healthcare that doesn’t include the use of contraception and abortion”

I don’t think it could be any clearer. Lifesite, the author anyway, doesn’t want women to have access to contraception

“When I say, “I want women to have control over their bodies,” I mean that I want women to know and embrace their fertility.”

I want, I want. What about what women want? Or don’t want. Or can’t afford. Or can’t take care of?

To me the most responsible thing you can do is prevent a pregnancy you don’t want or need. Maybe a 45 y.o. woman with 4 kids should just “embrace her fertility”? Fine with me. If that’s what she wants.

“I want women to understand that the most beautiful thing a woman’s body does is to grow other human beings.”

To her. What about the women who don’t want “to grow other human beings”? Quit having sex? That train has already left the station. Actually it never got to the station.

No, there’s no mistake here. Ya’ll don’t want women to have access to contraception and have all the babies they possibly can. And that’s fine. At least “Abby” is honest. Many aren’t. Apparently.

So Mr. Foxwell. What part of her “language” do you think I’m confused about? Specifically.

You are confused about the fact that the abortion industry demands that healthcare for women is defined by contraception and abortion.
The article does not say that women should not have access to contraception, only that healthcare for women should not be defined exclusively as contraception and abortion.
You remind me of an atheist reading the Bible with a jaundiced eye. You are reading into her words what you want to read. In so doing you make her case perfectly. There is no middle ground between abortion and prolife.
You may claim to be against abortion but your words do not reflect it.

"Embrace your fertility" doesn't mean "have all the babies you possibly can." Though I can understand why you'd make that assumption.

"Embrace your fertility" may mean respecting it enough that you don't try to impair it by intentional chemical or surgical maiming. Have intercourse in your fertile phase if you want to become pregnancy. Have intercourse in your infertile phases, if you don't.

Realistically, MOST married sex happens at naturally infertile times. Normally, there's only one week a month (average) when a woman is fertile. If you add up:

You've got known, foreseen, infertile sex most of the time, just because of the periodic nature for fertility. Rough calculation: a woman of 70 who's been married 50 years and had 3 kids,

That's respecting your natural design.

You could call it "embracing your fertility."
