Are some uber pro-life folks believe birth control is just as bad as abortion.
Could a doctor on here please clarify this. Correct me if I am wrong but my understanding is that the birth control pills work not by preventing fertilization of the egg but by preventing the fertilized egg from attaching itself to the wall of the uterus, and so it is expelled and lost. If this is true, and you hold that life begins at the moment of conception, then in the moral sense taking birth control pills is like abortion, although taking the pill would certainly not have nearly as many health dangers as multiple abortions might for women.
