because the majority views them as insane.

They view Jesus the same.

If you take the Pill, You are killing babies. So do real pro-lifers a favor: do not claim to be pro-life.

If the rest of the pro-life movement held this view, abortion would remain legal forever because nobody would ever listed to pro-lifers. Fight the battles you can win. The birth-control pill is not something you'll ever be able to get rid of.

I disagree that anyone on the Pill is killing babies. I don't think there is evidence to prove that the low dose combination hormonal contraceptive pills - which result in hormonal changes that are less than those caused by the hormones produced by the corpus luteum after ovulation - cause abortions. One example is the amount of normal pregnancies on these pills.

It appears to me that the body treats an embryo the same, whether or not a woman is taking combination pills as usually prescribed.

On the other hand, the progestin-only pills slow the movement of the oocyte or embryo down the fallopian tube, resulting in 4 to 10 times the rate of ectopic pregnancies in women who are on these pills, compared to women who are on no exogenous hormones at all.

Another option is the injectible progestin, Depo-provera, that blocks ovulation for 3 or more months. The greater risk with this contraception is that a woman may not ovulate for 6 months to a year after stopping the medicine.
