Then they came for your birth control...

[Kaisha]

I also never understood the line about people being upset about women who go for multiple abortions as if abortion was an easy, convenient birth control method. That these women should be stopped after their third or fourth abortion and made to have the baby. Anyone who relies on 3-4 abortions instead of using birth control is probably someone who should not be breeding and therefore should continue to get abortions.

Or just require them to get their tubes tied after the 3rd abortion if they're that ignorant/stupid.

Next Tuesday, Mississippians will go to the polls to decide on Initiative 26, a personhood amendment to the state constitution that defines a person as “every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the functional equivalent thereof.” Personhood amendments represent an extreme reach into a family’s privacy, essentially criminalizing abortion and potentially outlawing common forms of birth control.

Right-wing supporters of Mississippi’s personhood amendment, however, decry the fact that the bill will ban birth control as “scare tactics.” “It’s an outright lie that Initiative 26 would ban birth control pills,” said American Family Association Executive Director Brad Prewitt. “Stopping a pregnancy is not the issue; ending a pregnancy is.” Unfortunately for proponents, the Personhood movement spokesman Walter Hoye stated the opposite on NPR’s Diane Rehm Show. As the Florida Independent reports, when asked if there were any restrictions on birth control in the amendment, Hoye answered “no…well, yes,” adding, “any birth control that ends the life of a human being will be impacted by this measure,” including the pill:

HOYE: Any birth control that ends the life of a human being will be impacted by this measure.

REHM: So that would then include the IUD [intra-uterine device]. What about the birth control pill?

HOYE: If that falls into the same category, yes.

REHM: So you’re saying that the birth control pill could be considered as taking the life of a human being?

HOYE: I’m saying that once the egg and the oocyte come together and you have that single-celled embryo, at that point you have human life, you’ve got a human being and we’re taking the life of a human being with some forms of birth control and if birth control falls into that category, yes I am.

The “profoundly ambiguous” language of the amendment will affect more than just birth control. Because fertilization can be defined as either the sperm’s penetration of the egg or, as Hoye suggests, when the embryo is formed even before implantation in the uterus, the amendment could ban “forms of birth control, stem cell derivation and the destruction of embryos created though in vitro fertilization (IVF).”

Indeed, as Personhood USA President Keith Mason stated outright, “it would ban some current practices of IVF” because he sees it as “the creation of 30 or 60 embryos and then picking through them to see which ones are most likely boys or girls, or basically looking at the ones you want to give life to and destroying the rest.”

Be it an outright attack on a constitutionally protected procedure, on a woman’s personal right to prevent pregnancy, or even on a couples chance to have a child, supporters and opponents agree that Mississippi’s personhood amendment is a far-reaching blow to a woman’s — and family’s — reproductive rights.

[ronin sparthos]

I wonder why God makes babies with crippling neurological deficiencies then.

Facebook really makes me want to quit this planet sometimes.

[Cail]

you blocked them cuz god wanted you to and he doesnt want you to go to jail

[Ksandra]

As a Christian I'd say to them, maybe God gives us that outlet because that is NOT when the baby is supposed to come.

Luckily, I never have to deal with this type of shit on my fb. Everyone is so mellow.

You can call it postpartum abortion.

[Gwynplaine]

"Well what if the aborted fetus would have become president or cured cancer?"

That is just an arbitrary "maybe". Maybe there's a dragon in my garage, or a teapot in space. It's just playing with imagination and has nothing to do with facts.

Even on those same grounds then you would have to grant that the opposite potential is possible: maybe that baby would have grown up to be dictator or invented a new diabolical weapon. But they're equally silly.

I know this is obvious, but I like to articulate why, it helps me be more than just annoyed.

[Not Kuno]

Seeing as how there are more murderers than presidents and cancer curers, just say it was more likely they became that.

my pro life governor made a statement against 26

Good God - we've really come nowhere since I got stuck in what passed for sex-ed in my convent school... elderly, well-meaning (seriously - the woman was too sweet and gullible to ever have been allowed to work with kids cos we just took the piss endlessly) nun who'd gone off to get the contraception leaflets from Family Planning - "Right girls, these are all the types of contraception you can use... now, the Pope says you're not allowed to use any of them - and this one, this one and this one are murder girls, MURDER!!!"

(Hence why my school was full of slags and slappers who ended up pregnant by the age of 16)

[Toxictaru]

Wouldn't logic follow that "God" also created the people who created the drugs that prevent pregnancy, and therefore it was the will of God that contraception was created in the first place? Religious logic scares me.

[Jaybar]

It's the devil's temptation, not God's will. You guys are fucking retarded.
