THE PILL KILLS.

An interweb friend brought my attention to the existence of Protest the Pill Day. Yes, that's the birth control pill. I refuse to link to their website, but here are some choice quotes:

Everyone should know the deadly consequences of the pill and similar contraceptive products- they cause chemical abortions.

And this:

Using statistical estimates of the number of chemical, medical and surgical abortions combined, computed by a biostatistician and an environmental epidemiologist, both at the University of Pittsburgh, along with an Ohio State University technical consultant and Bogomir M. Kuhar, a pharmacist, American Life League computed the following estimates for chemical abortions alone, from 1973 to 2003:


During this period, approximately 6,605,000 to 11,725,000 chemical abortions occured in the United States annually.

During this period, a total of 196,325,000 to 324,325,000 chemical abortions wiped out the equivalent of the entire United States population!

Really, folks?

Okay, look. I understand why somebody might be "pro-life". I disagree, but I understand. An abortion is a regrettable situation for any woman to be in, to be certain. To contend that the pill kills babies though is absolute coo-coo craziness.

I know that the pope commands people to believe that life begins at a man's orgasm, but a group of cells does not a baby make. It's also funny that the term "pro-life" only seems to refer to people (or cells) that are still in the uterus. Once a baby is born it's every lower class teenage mother for herself.

Incredible. I wish I could take a pill that would make these people disappear.

So did you hear that the crazy woman with 17 kids is knocked up again? I immediately felt ill...

In response to May 07, 2008 entry, The Pill Kills.

The consensus is that the 5 requirements for life are:

The ability to reproduce.

The ability to respond to stimuli.

To be composed of at least 1 cell.

The ability to adapt.

And the ability to grow.

From the moment of conception, the embryo is genetically capable of all of this, and more.

Furthermore, birth control and abortion combined create a sense that children are unnecessary side effects of sex. This could not be more false. Biologically, the only purpose of sex is to create life, much in the same biological sense that digestion is the only purpose of eating. In both cases the feeling of resulting pleasure are simply stimuli to encourage us to do it more often.

This sense of children being a "side effect" promotes anger towards children in the forms of child abuse, since they are not seen as something precious, but instead as something similar to an ingrown toenail, something unpleasant to get rid of.

Long story short, what is being said in the above article is both irrational and morally perverted.

Get the facts straight next time.
