I don't believe the Church has ever taken that stance which, IMHO, makes the birth control pills are abortifacients per the Catholic Church argument difficult to maintain.

How so? whether heaven, or the discredited limbo, or somewhere else

Please remember that this is a Caucus thread. Respectful questions and discussion of the issues is the point. This statement reads as an attack on particular Catholic thought.

I described the stance which I believe is difficult to maintain. The Church has never made the argument that every unimplanted embryo is a miscarriage and thus a soul goes to its eternal resting place whenever an embryo doesn't implant. Which is why I believe the birth-control-as-abortifacient argument is hard to maintain.

As to "attack", I'm Catholic, mockingbyrd. Reading what I wrote (limbo has been discredited by many Catholic theologians) as an attack is quite far-fetched.
