FDA unleashes new threat to human babies
"In the midst of a terror campaign and a frightening battle against anthrax, the FDA has somehow been able to find the time to sanction yet another form of baby killing," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "The newly-approved birth control patch uses the same abortion-causing chemicals used in many other so-called contraceptives."
With its approval of the birth control patch, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now approved its fourth new "contraceptive" option in the last year. The skin patch has been added to a collection that already includes a monthly injection, a hormone-emitting IUD, and a hormone-emitting contraceptive ring.
"All these devices deliver the same hormones to the woman's body and all work in the same manner," said Mrs. Brown. "They all affect the uterine lining and prevent implantation of a newly-conceived human being, thus causing the end of that human being's life."
"The FDA should be ashamed of itself," said Mrs. Brown. "All Americans should reject this new form of baby killing and seek to protect all innocent human life, from fertilization to natural death."

You must have loved Bubba then...
Have you ever made a post that was not an attack or a bump..
My question to you...even though it is becoming apparent you don't answer questions...
Have you ever made a post that didn't forward a leftist agenda?
To be consistent, every sexually active pro-life female must subject all of her used menstrual pads, tampons, etal to microscopic examination to determine if an aborted fetus is present. Otherwise she risks committing the sin of condemning her baby to the trash heap without benefit of baptism.
Projecting a bit, aren't you?
Christian pro-life people are the happiest people on earth.
Why must you insist that everyone else carry your burdens of guilt and unhappiness?
Christians have learned that they can't bear their own burden of guilt and unhappiness, and have cast that burden on the Lord. Because of that fact, Christians are also the most guilt-free people on earth.
You should try it sometime.
Good point. However, consistentency is not a big trait among the anti-free choice crowd.
They would be happiest of if females where sown shut at birth and not opened until married.
Your answered: "No. But I would believe that YOU believed what you are preaching.
So what is the point of using the argument that since pro-lifers don't bury all their miscarriages, the fetus must not be a human being? How we treat others does not determine their humanity (it determines ours). If pro-lifers acted in the way you would want them to, you still would be pro-abortion. Apparently your objection to our behavior has nothing to do with whether or not the fetus is a human being "in your mind."
Believe it or not, we are trying to get at truth here. Either the unborn are human beings, deserving protection, or they are not. If they are not, then you are right and abortion is nothing more than "tumor" removal and is nobody's business. But if they are, then it is the taking of another human beings life....and it becomes everyone's business in society to protect the defenseless.
The point of this whole debate is: what is the unborn? It has nothing to do with "choice". Artist's Husband
END OF STORY
Not end of story by a longshot.
Women - of all types - prochoice, prolife - just women who have miscarriages - GRIEVE over their lost BABIES no matter what stage in pregnancy they lose their BABIES.
(FETUS is LATIN for "CHILD").
No, they don't hold memorial services for these babies. (Though some may). But that does not mean these tiny children are not grieved over as any child lost would be!
You speak of not wanting others to impose their will on a woman (i.e. - not allowing her to have an abortion if she so chooses).
Yet - you and the "proabortion" crowd members all conveniently ignore the fact that by ending the life of an unborn child (fetus means child), you are imposing your will on that child who has no voice. These unborn children are male and FEMALE. Therefore, you are forcing YOUR WILL on other females! (forcing them not to have the chance to be born and live and grow).
There is grace and love, oceans of love, mercy, and forgiveness for women who have "chosen" abortions - or who have had miscarraiges. (Many women who have miscarraigs experience guilt - as causing the DEATH of their baby somehow).
I don't know how old you are. I don't know what has happened to you regarding children or births. I don't know if you are a woman or a man. But I do know this. Your heart is hardened towards God - and towards human beings - for some reason. Only hard hearted people can be blind to the death of unborn children being a cause for mourning and great sorrow.....no matter how it happens.
I am old enough to remember my High School Biology text which was published before Roe V. Wade. That book - and all the Biology books of that pre-RVW era - clearly taught that "life begins at conception." The life of a new human being begins at conception. I don't know what the books of today teach - but there was no doubt about that fact then. (an aside: Yes, this is the "law". But so were the laws of Nazi Germany which viewed Jews as nonpersons. America's law has put unborn children in the category of nonpersons. But that is man's law - which does not ALWAYS represent the TRUTH about reality, now does it? Think of Nazi Germany - do some research - their laws were WRONG. Roe V. Wade is wrong also. One day, like Nazi German learned, we will realize our terrible error as a nation and come to our knees in repentance, pleading with God for forgiveness of us as individuals and as people).
Your callous disregard about a woman who "chooses" to force HER WILL on a defenseless unborn CHILD - all the while claiming to detest others who want to force their will on you - simply does not fly.
I do not judge you, however. Any woman in a crisis pregnancy - needs FACTS. Pro-abortionists never want truth/facts given to women in a crisis pregnancy because when a woman knows she is about to end the life of a BABY - a CHILD (fetus=child), they will often choose to either postpone the abortion or they will refuse it altogether! (taking money out of the hands of the abortionist - not nice)
One day, I do pray that you will turn to the God who loves you, and loves each and every child coming into this world, so much He sent his Son to live, suffer, and die on a cross - in your place - that you might have LIFE - eternal life - with God. Many who have held views you hold have done so - and have discovered the fantastic joy and peace of a relationship with the One True God, through His Son, Jesus Christ - the One person in all history who did more than any other to raise the condition and value of women in the world!
In all sincerety, you seem to be very concerned about the suffering of women who have unwanted pregrancies. But you totally miss the point that it is wrong for them to kill their unborn children.
You claim that they are only "potential" human beings before 3 to 6 months. But you offer no argument for what changes them from potential to actual human beings... it is just an arbitrary decision you have made with no biological or ethical foundation. In other words, its just your opinion.
You have been offered several ethical arguments and biological facts from pro-lifers here as to why a fetus (at any stage) is in fact a human being and should not be killed. You haven't refuted any of them... just restated your opinion that you disagree with those facts and reasons. You offer nothing in response to pro-life arguments and biological facts, except your opinion.
If you expect to change anyone's mind, you need to tell us why the fetus before 3 months is not a human being and why pro-lifers have no "right" to argue for the protection of the unborn.

I know where your heart is. <><
In all human enterprise, people kill other people for convenience, and claim just purpose, or present the "unavoidable" excuse, or just turn a blind eye to another's fatal circumstance. We generally do not talk candidly about the whole realm of who gets to live and fulfill their potential and who gets to die for want of sufficient nurture from fellow humans.
It seems bogus to me for one to focus on this area of human activity to draw a line. How about the overt acts of war we humans regularly justify? How about the routine denial of our surplus substance to hundreds of millions around the world, while watching them starve to death? How about the squalor that some children is this very country suffer?
Unless pro-lifer's live like Mother Teresa, I believe their agenda is more of a control issue. And I am anti-abortion! But it is quite clear to me that many will die in furtherance of my convenience.
There will always be death, murder and mayhem. There will be wars, acts of terror and hunger and death from disease and mutilation by rabid dictators. But there does NOT have to be the crushing of life, the ripping of a growing infant from the womb. To compare the denial of a long life to a newly growing infant to war and pestilance and hunger and murder is ridiculous. All it takes to kill an infant is a sick woman, a equally sick partner in some instances and a very sick doctor. Oh, a great big bunch of denial and lack of conscience.
