Progesterone only products such as the mini pill, Norplant and DepoProvera rarely prevent ovulation. They are almost 100% abortifacients.
The medical dictionaries and texts and journals have redefined “conception” as implantation over the last two decades. Therefore they can continue to call any technology that prevents implantation of a fertilized ovum a “contraceptive” because according to their new arbitrary definition conception has not yet occurred.
All the latest contraceptive technologies target the baby at its most vulnerable point, i.e., before implantation but after conception (as traditionally defined.)
If “conception” is not redefined, medicine must admit that these new technologies are indeed abortifacient. Then comes the whole problem of informed consent, conscience clauses, and a refocus of pro-life activity exactly where medicine does NOT want it: At that distinct line between conception and implantation, a line already crossed by hormonal contraception, the morning after pill, Norplant, Depo-Provera, IUD’s, cloning, stem cell research, and many other emerging technologies.

Threads like this are so important because I don't think everyone knows this (I didn't!), and I'll give the benefit of the doubt to those who take these pills (or any birth control pill), that they do not want to self-abort their children by taking these chemicals. Thanks again!
