Obama Wants Us to Pay for Abortion-Causing Devices, Too!
Population Research Institute ^ | 4/24/2013 | Steven W. Mosher and Elizabeth Crnkovich

Obamacare’s so-called “contraceptive mandate” has been much in the news. But much of what the administration calls “contraception” is actually abortion.

Take the copper IUD, for example. It is advertised as a contraceptive device, but even the New York Times, in a front page story about Plan B, admits that it causes early-term abortions. How? By preventing the implantation of a developing embryo in the uterus.

As the flagship paper of the liberal media writes, “[R]esearch suggests that the only other officially approved form of emergency contraception, the copper intrauterine device (also a daily birth control method), can work to prevent pregnancy after an egg has been fertilized.”

What we are talking about here is what is known as "heavy metal poisoning."  The copper ions released by the IUD create a microenvironment hostile to living organisms, including tiny human beings. This is why, to adduce a crude example, fence posts used on modern-day farms are pressure-treated with copper-arsenic. This deadly chemical cocktail kills all the organisms, from bacteria to termites, that attempt to eat into the posts.  

Read for yourselves what a handbook called Managing Contraception for Your Pocket has to say:  “The Copper IUD may be inserted up to the time of implantation—about 5 days after ovulation—to prevent pregnancy. Thus, if a woman had unprotected sexual intercourse 3 days before ovulation occurred in that cycle, the IUD could be inserted up to 8 days after intercourse to prevent pregnancy”

Note that the authors are clearly all fervent advocates for a full range of anti-pregnancy drugs and devices. When they assert that the copper IUD can be inserted even at the time of implantation and still terminate a pregnancy, they can be taken at their word.  

What this means is that our argument against the “contraceptive mandate” can be strengthened and expanded. The mandate will not only force Catholic employers to pay for abortion-causing drugs like Plan B (the Morning After Pill), it will force them to pay for abortion-causing devices as well. We are not just objecting to drugs that prevent implantation, we are objecting to drugs and devices.

Obamacare actually goes even further. It reaches beyond drugs and devices that prevent implantation to those like the drug, Ella, that cause the death of an already implanted baby. There is strong evidence that Ella, a close analogue to RU-486, can cause an early abortion both before and after implantation.

Our goal is to overturn the Obamacare mandate and, ultimately, to eliminate all taxpayer-funded birth control. Where better to start than with drugs and devices that have been scientifically proven to cause abortions?

By the family planning movement’s own admission, the copper IUD causes an abortion. No alibi will change that fact.

I wouldn’t call an IUD an abortion-causing device; that seems to be a bit of a stretch.

Do people think BO came in and took over a thriving medical care system that was working well?

If so, why do they?

The doctor patient relationship especially among women and their doctors is one sided. There is a lot of lying going on.

Where are husbands and “boyfriends” on this?

Just because they are silent about it does not mean it is not going on.

The estimate is that through contraception, double the amount of reported abortions have occurred since 1973 (and before, with contraception)

So, about 1,000,000,000 abortions.

THis is harsh, but until people are willing to do a e rudimentary google search, it’s going to be difficult to fix the health care system.

People think doctors are taking care of them. The numbers point to doctors being. . . well, adding to the abortion problem in a big way.

THe average ob gyn is there to take guilt away.

This is a simple google search:
From e-medicine:

With hormonal IUDs, a small amount of progestin or a similar hormone is released into the uterus. These hormones thicken cervical mucus and make it difficult for sperm to enter the cervix. Hormonal IUDs also slow down the growth of the uterine lining, making it inhospitable for fertilized eggs.

If you think doctors and the AMA are pro life and also interested in the health of patients you are not paying attention.

BO took over a very sick medical care system.

How is it going to stop if we can’t look at what’s going on.

And from Priests for life:

“Implantation,” of course, refers to the newly-conceived life nestling into the uterus to receive his/her nourishment for the duration of the pregnancy. If contraceptive methods “prevent...implantation,” it means that they kill that newly conceived child.

Of course IUDs cause abortion. So do many forms of the pill.

Just because it “sounds like a stretch” doesn’t mean it is a stretch.

And from Pro life facts on abortion:

Most people don’t know the real facts about how “contraceptives” work. And because of this lack of knowledge, most women are not aware that they may be having BREAKTHROUGH OVULATIONS, and conceiving children that are killed very early in the pregnancy. Women using these “contraceptives” almost never perceive that they have become pregnant, or that chemicals have killed their tiny baby.

A sincere and intelligent response to such minutia would be to focus on the real abortions where developed limbs and organs are involved.

And there is no downside to having the inner city and welfare sector implanted with such devices. America is being overrun by the takers and reducing their procreation is a sound defense.

You are saying that killing the babies is the answer. They are worth less than suburban people.

No, killing babies is always wrong. Preventing pregnancies in the welfare sector is a sound defense.
