Apparently the Bush administration might be trying to make contraception the same as abortion. The only thing I can think of that might make this case plausible is that the Bush administration has been dominant about abstinence only (which has failed by the way) but that's a stretch I think. What do you think? Any truth to this? I'm skeptical but really I don't put much past this administration.

Answer 1

Unbelievable.  But it is happening, evidently this is what you get when there is no separation of church and state.  I wondered if this would happen given the Bush Administrations words over embryonic stem cell research; if they consider a soul to be present at the moment of fertilization then what about IUD's?  They prevent conception but not fertilization.  

This is the problem when people begin to believe that fertilization and conception (pregnancy) are the same thing.  They are different.  One results in a baby and one doesn't:  you can't grow a baby on a plate no matter how compelling the pictures of babies crawling out of test tubes.  They don't call it 'in vitro conception' for a reason.  

How this plan to restrict contraceptives will reduce the number of  abortions I will never know.

It is something when politicians in the US pander to religious groups in order to get or stay elected.  I doubt if the many supporters of this plan actually believe it.  They are just saying so.  Doesn't the soul of a living, breathing woman trump the supposed soul of a fertilized egg?

Answer 2

I don't put much faith in anything move-on.org puts out.

Answer 3

I think a fertilized egg is a human being, it has all the DNA etc. of a person.  To destroy that person is a type of abortion.  Other birth control pills are not abortion so that is okay.

Moveon.org is a joke

This bill will never pass

Answer 4

Don't believe anything move on says.  If your interested in this look up the legislation yourself and read what it is really saying.

Answer 5

Bush administrations is nothing but a load of c**p!

Contraceptives are prevention, not abortion!

:]

Answer 6

I think they would have to throw alot of teens and younger women in jail if that passed. I feel that women who are smart enough to know that they can't take care of a baby right now and are doing something about it (abstinence aside-ok?) shouldn't be punished for it.

I know this wouldn't work. Very interesting that this is happening though.

Answer 7

Watch out. That conservative Booger Man is watching you. Your question is ridicules.

Answer 8

What's wrong with preventing an unwanted pregnancy?  The last thing we need on this planet is more people.  We have trouble feeding the ones we already have.
