So what? I'm NOT saying people on this forum oppose contraception.
What you were doing, was engaging in demagoguery - the one and only tool in the leftist toolbox.
You were claiming that anyone who opposes abortion on demand also opposes birth control. That this is a flat out lie doesn't alter your position, you seek to smear the opposition, not engage in rational discussion.
I am saying EXTREMISTS who are growing in numbers, are introducing legislation in state after state are trying to eliminate most forms of contraception that they deem abortive.
And what I'm saying is that you're lying through your ******* teeth. I'm saying that the facts are literally 180° from what you claim.
This includes the pill and the IUD, two of the most effective methods of contraception. It would also make IVF illegal, which would mean 58,000 less babies born in the US to previously infertile couples.
What it includes is irrelevant, since you're lying at the outset.
In a country of 300 million, there will be one or two nutjobs. But the reality is that there ARE only one or two people who support the idiocy that you dishonestly smear the majority with.
Facts:
Most Americans oppose abortion. Opposition is growing.
Nearly all American support the use of birth control.
These two facts don't mesh with the bullshit you're trying to peddle. Why? Because you're lying. You know you're lying, and so does everyone else here.
I am saying that some anti-abortion activists are fanatics,
And you, as a pro-abortion activist are not a fanatic? It's you who has been reduced to open lies in hopes for promoting abortion. That seems pretty fanatical to me.
and they do not represent mainstream America, but they would like to. The anti-abortionists should be working in concert with pro-contraceptive activists. Instead, they are demonizing us, calling us Nazi's etc etc etc.

"If you take 100 healthy couples who are having sex, but who aren't planning to get pregnant, and let them go at it for a year without birth control, you can expect about 85 pregnancies, and 42 abortions. If those same couples were using the Pill in the basically conscientious but slightly imperfect way that most people do, you'd expect about 3 unplanned pregnancies and 1.5 abortions. 42 is greater than 1.5. QED.
Utter bullshit. Completely fabricated statistics. Claims that 85% of couples conceive is laughable. Claims that nearly half of pregnancies are aborted may be a dream of yours, but isn't even in the same state as factual.
Obviously, birth control doesn't work if you don't use it. If you only look at women who are getting abortions, you only see cases in which birth control didn't work or wasn't used. You will miss the millions of people who successfully use birth control and therefore never need abortions."
Mainstreaming Anti-Contraception
You are whackjob fanatic.
