Teenager:
The next day she went to get the pill because the boy told her she would probably get pregnant if she didnt. She will still probably have sex but i know she’ll be safe about it from now on. I think the pill is a good thing because i know it would have been the end of her life if she would have had to face being pregnant and i think people should be able to make mistakes without to much punishment. its fair to me sooo thats it. thanks

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. :bowdown:
Ok, here is a report for you, young lady, on the pill and it’s effects.
"Birth control pills:
Contraceptive or abortifacient?
Introduction:
A white paper by a number of pro-life physicians has been published claiming that there is no credible scientific evidence for the Pill acting to cause early abortions, except for the minipill. This paper will examine these claims.
One Scrap of Good News:
The one point of ?good news? is that the authors recognize that interfering with the developing human after fertilization or conception is abortion. Thus, they acknowledge that if the Pill does create a ??hostile endometrium? which presumably prevents or disrupts implantation of the developing baby … If it in fact occurs, would be abortifacient.?
Merits of the Scientific Claims:
A cardinal rule of all scientific inquiries is that they allow for replication. Unfortunately, the authors do not identify what journals, treatises, or books they read, or how they went about their literature search. So, whatever they did, an independent observer cannot replicate their effort.
The authors claim that there are no scientific studies verifying the validity of the hostile endometrium assumption. Yet, they provide no guide to the reader identifying the search terms they may used if they explored the Grateful Med search engine at the National Library of Medicine so that anyone else could test their conclusion.
The authors show no familiarity with the considerable effort within the population control movement and the pharmacological industry to disguise the abortifacient mode of operation of birth control chemicals and devices under a barrage of equivocal and redefined words whose common meanings were altered all with the goal of avoiding the abortion controversy. Swedish researcher Bent Boving, at a 1959 Planned Parenthood-Population Council symposium noted that: ?Whether eventual control of implantation can be reserved the social advantage of being considered to prevent conception rather than to destroy an established pregnancy could depend upon something so simple as a prudent habit of speech.? [Bent Boving, ?Implantation Mechanisms,? in Mechanisms Concerned with Conception, ed. C. G. Hartman (New York: Pergamon Press, 1963), 386]
The intent to deceive the public about the abortion causing nature of anti-fertility control drugs and devices was widespread. At the 1964 Population Council symposium Dr. Samuel Wishik pointed out that acceptance or rejection of birth control would depend on whether it cause an early abortion. Dr. Tietze, of Planned Parenthood and the Population Council suggested, as a public relations ploy, ?not to disturb those people for whom this is a question of major importance.? Tietze added that theologians and jurists have always taken the prevailing biological and medical consensus of their times as factual, and that ?if a medical consensus develops and is maintained that pregnancy, and therefore life, begins at implantation, eventually our brethren from the other faculties will listen.? (Discussion, Proceedings of the Second International Conference, Intra-Uterine Contraception, held October 2-3, 1964, New York City, ed. Sheldon Segal, et al…, International Series, Excerpta Medica Foundation, No. 86, page 212)"
