Birth Control: the Abortion Connection
by ALL
Released October 5, 2005
If you follow the news at all, you've probably heard talk of Preven-the new emergency contraception pill. "Birth control" such as this has become society's answer to the rise in unexpected pregnancy. Many say abortions will decrease as we get better birth control methods on the market. Can the pill, Norplant, the IUD, Depo-Provera, and emergency contraception really decrease abortion?
Not likely. One of the ways that these chemicals and devices work is to prevent the newly conceived human embryo from attaching to the lining of the uterus. You may hear the inaccurate term "fertilized egg" used to describe the living human embryo. But once fertilization has taken place, there is no more "egg." A new tiny person has been formed and is traveling on his or her way down the fallopian tube to enter and attach to the womb. Once there, the baby receives nourishment, and the growth hormone progesterone needed for survival.
But, if the contraceptive device prevents the newly conceived child from attaching to the uterus (womb), what happens? Without nourishment and room to grow, the child cannot survive and he dies in the first 1-7 days of life.
This is what we call an early, chemical abortion.
And most of the time, the mom is totally unaware that she was ever even pregnant. With the introduction of chemical birth control, abortion has not gone down; it's gone up-way up.
But that's not the only problem with birth control
What birth control has done for our society is turn little babies into disposable objects. Pregnancy is no longer seen as a blessing, but a curse. Parents of large families are looked down upon instead of held in high esteem. We now place more value on getting big salaries, driving nice cars, and living in huge homes.
Young married couples want to wait years before starting families because they have learned from our society that children will take away their freedom. So if a child is conceived at the wrong time or is unplanned, abortion becomes a likely option for the couple who cannot see that children are a great blessing.
