In this post I was using the term "abortionist" to mean "one who supports abortion." The UNFPA has a long and bloody history of promoting abortion. Therefore they (and you can bet the other unnamed recipients of this money) are abortionists.

This bill gives 25 MILLION dollars to these sick killers. So even if you believe that this money won't go to directly fund abortion (HA!), nonetheless this is giving money to abortionists.

As for your statements about contraceptives, RU486 is not a contraceptive -- it is purely an abortifacient. This bill does nothing to prevent anyone from handing these out like candy.

The birth control pill on the other hand sometimes works as a contraceptive and sometimes as an abortifacient. That's not religion, that's a fact. This bill supplies money to provide birth control pills. Birth control pills sometimes work to prevent implantation of an already conceived embryo. This is an abortion too. This is also not religion, this is scientific fact.

And finally, almost every college campus in this country dispenses high-dosages of regular birth control pills to co-eds who want "emergency contraception." This too, is not really contraception, but is a chemical abortion. This bill does nothing to prevent birth control pills being used in this manner. Therefore this bill will pay for abortions.

Finally, let's look at the religious freedom aspect of all of this. I am a Roman Catholic. I believe that contraception is a mortal sin which will result in people going to hell. (I'm talking about true contraceptives here, like condoms.) Whether you agree with me or not, why should my tax dollars be used to fund a practice that is unconstitutional and morally repulsive to me?

Under your definition, every woman who takes birth control pills is an abortionist. As are all MDs who prescribe them, all pharmacies that sell them, and all husbands that pay the medical bills.

You are out of touch with the common usage of the word "abortion" in this country.

Please don't call president Bush a liar simply because he doesn't use your extreme definition of abortion.
