In the rare chance an egg is produced while a woman is on birth control, the birth control pill will often cause a fertilized egg - in other words - a HUMAN BEING - to fail to attach to the uterine wall. This results in an abortion.
Why is it OK to kill an embryo right after conception with a birth control pill, but not anything else?
After reading some of your posts in the past two days, I have become accustomed to your over politicization and biased comments; however, you are politicizing an issue that shouldn't be. Then again, it really isn't your fault; most American's have been raised to politicize almost everything. That is the failure of our two party system, but that is a different discussion. Your use of "anti-choicer" is an extreme over politicization of a person's opinion with regards to a woman's choice to abort her fetus. Pro-life and pro-choice are bad enough, but to develop your own unrecognized biased term to describe an individual who does not support abortion only demonstrates your inability to think outside of what you are told by your political party of choice.
An abortion is the removal of a fetus from the womb. According to scientific analysis and opinions of experts in the healthcare industry, a fetus, for humans, is a developing offspring from 8 weeks of gestation up until birth. Therefore, to group birth control pills into the same catagory as an abortion is just asinine. Contrary to your uneducated opinion; most birth control pills prevent embryogenises from occuring, not an abortion as you have claimed. There are, of course, birth control choices that do halt embryogenises after it has already begun (ie. morning after pill).
IMHO Roe v Wade should be overturned. I believe that the federal government should not be involved in the abortion debate and that the States and ultimately the people should be able to vote on such matters. Some of you in here will tell me that the Bill of Rights suggests that the "Right to Privacy" is understood but not mentioned and therefore the federal government has every right to rule on abortion and a women's right to choose. Beginning with President FDR, the US Constitution has been "interpreted" to assist in the passing of whatever legislation has been introduced that did not have the public's overwhelming approval. IMHO, the abortion issue was another that was politicized due to political pressures in Washington. From 1970-1973, four political women's rights groups were formed. Prior to these four groups, women's rights were only represented in civil groups. Remember also, that desegregation was still being implemented and we were recovering from the divide in the country from the Vietnam War and of course Nixon's Watergate scandle. SCOTUS was controled by President Eisenhower appointees and Republicans held a 5/4 majority over Democratic appointees. With all of the pressure from American's and the political pressure on the Republican party, SCOTUS had no other choice but to vote in favor of women's rights.
