The Bush Administration has ignited a furor with a proposed definition of pregnancy that has the effect of classifying some of the most widely used methods of contraception as abortion.

A draft regulation, still being revised and debated, treats most birth-control pills and intrauterine devices as abortion because they can work by preventing fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus. The regulation considers that destroying "the life of a human being.

My opinion: There are no words vitriolic enough for those who support this blatant violation of women's rights.

It violates everyone's rights. I don't like the idea of abortion of a fetus, especially since that's done with the fetus well along its way, but an egg and a sperm are not a baby. They can become one, but if you stop the egg, even if it is fertilized, all you're doing is not having a baby. And that's what contraception is all about.

I don't get Bush on this matter. Abortion is legal, but he won't let us research stem cells as a cure for the living. We're wasting good technology, and what do we do with them anyway? Toss 'em in the trash after the abortion?

Now a fertilized egg is a life?

I think he had the right idea though I'm just moving to a more reasonable place.

Technically it is life. So is sperm. It is not, however, a person in the eyes of the law. The whole thing isn't even using proper science. They are using minute possibilities to scare people. The good news is that this should remind people what kind of a sorry excuse for human we have as president and prevent the election of a photocopy.

One choice is trying to limit women's rights. The other is not. I'll take the one that isn't.

It's worse than I first thought. This law would apply to all sorts of medications not just birth control.

Quote:
“any of the various procedures — including the prescription, dispensing and administration of any drug or the performance of any procedure or any other action — that results in the termination of the life of a human being in utero between conception and natural birth, whether before or after implantation”

EVERY ONE OF MY PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS FITS THIS BILL.

Including the Lupron, which is a Major Treatment during which we are very strongly advised to be double-extra-careful in the area of birth control, because it can cause major serious birth defects. The Lupron which I am taking to shrink endometrial implants which can fuse together my organs and completely sterilize me. …

It’s not just oral contraceptives, folks. It’s treatments which have no relation to family planning whatsoever. Just think of all the prescription medications that would be restricted.
