If life begins at inception (ie, before reaching the womb) and birth control pills only deny that life the chance of the safety of the womb, that life is still destroyed. The morning after pill or a later physical abortion, that kicks that life out of the womb, seems the same as not allowing that life a home in the womb in the first place. Where am I wrong?

You're not wrong. All methods of hormonal birth control (including the Pill, the "patch," Depo-Provera shots, emergency contraception, etc.) have the potential to cause an early chemical abortion without the woman even knowing it. They all work in three ways:
1. By attempting to prevent ovulation (the release of an egg)
2. By thickening cervical mucus, which may prevent sperm from reaching the egg
3. By changing the lining of the womb to prevent a newly conceived human being from implanting in the womb, causing his or her death at 5-9 days old.
The IUD also works by preventing the newly conceived child from implanting in the womb.
Some claim that hormonal birth control only "prevents pregnancy," but this is only because there has been a move to change the definition of the beginning of pregnancy from fertilization to implantation. This is scientifically dishonest. Even medical textbooks recognize that life begins at fertilization:

Birth control pills keep you from ovulating. The eggs are not killed, they sit safe and healthy in your ovaries. Nothing is killed, that's why it's not an abortion. If you'll look up the word "abort", it means "to terminate before completion". If the life never begins, because the egg is never released and therefore it does not join with a sperm to create an embryo, it cannot be terminated.
From your wording about "denying the life safety in the womb", I think you may have the function of birth control and the morning after pill confused. The birth control pill makes your body think you ARE pregnant, so you just don't ovulate, but the morning after pill is what stops an egg and sperm already joined into an embryo from implanting in the uterus.

Firstly generally the word is used is conception.
Secondly the birth control pill works by preventing ovulation primarily. So there isn't an egg to be fertilized. Yes in rare cases (or when taken incorrectly) the seconday method help: that is changing the cervical mucous to make it non favourable to sperm.
The tertiary method is that the uterine wall will not be favourable for implantation assuming that the egg gets fertilized. It doesn't truely prevent implantation, implantatin can still occur.
The morning after pill works more by causing menstruation. Menstruation makes it difficult for an egg to implant and blood pH is not favourable to sperm or egg.
The rhythm method also works by ensuring should conception take place, it takes place in a time that is not favourable for implantation of the egg. The rhythm more likely kills more fertilized eggs than the birth control pill.
The birth control pill is also used to manage many other conditions, should we take away this treatment?
Certain diseases also make the womb unfavourable, should these women be banned from having sex? Or even trying to conceive?
And nobody ever discusses IUDs, which do not prevent ovulation, but are just hostile to sperm and egg. Yes more than likely the sperm never reach the egg but if they do the egg will not implant.

Most common birth control pills prevent conception, itself. Meaning that there is never a life that begins. You have to be careful though, because some kinds of birth controls simply prevent the implatation of the new child into the lining of the uterus.
I agree that methods such as those and the "morning after pill" are forms of abortion. Everything for a child is contained inside that tiny spark of life, and is already determined what this beautiful new baby will look like.
Abortion is wrong, causes mental and emotional stress to the mother, guilt, and in some cases harms the mother while killing her unborn baby.
I don't care what any of the other posters may say, life begins at conception -- and feel lucky your mom didn't "Morning After" you!

The birth control pill helps you from getting pregnant
They are people that never miss a pill, and have a child
Abortion you take a fetus and kill it
I have not make up my mind on the morning after pill
I see not reason if some one is rape, the morning after pill should be given

ummmm no! birth control pill stop you from ovulating period so tehre is never a fertilized egg and there is never an egg to be fertilizeed! you're not killing anything. in that case having your period would be considered abortion. what the hell read up on how things work before you judge them. there is no life that is destroyed in birth control because there is no way for a life to be created. get it??
oh hey NEw your article says nothing about birth control get your facts right as well. have you ever taken birth control??? i have and umm asked a doc before i used you obviously don't know what you're talking about
WHEn you take birth control an egg NEVER gets fertilized if you're taking it right and 99 % of the time. It doesn't mean that it just drops a fertilized egg. otherwise that would be having a miscarraige all of the time

According to your theory wouldn't wearing a condom also be considered abortion because the condom denies the sperm to enter the woman's body at all - which is preventing life from ever having the chance?
Why are condoms not considered abortion? IUD's? What about the pull out method? Those spermies never had a fighting chance.
Any method of trying to not conceive a baby would be considered abortion??
Sorry, but that is ridiculous.

Because birth control pill are use to prevent unplanned pregnancy and abortion pills are use to terminate the unwanted pregnancy

Birth control keeps an egg from being released.
By your logic a woman who does not get pregnant is having an abortion by letting an egg leave the body.

You can only abort what is already started. Preventing it from happening reduces the need for abortions. Look around you at all the children who suffer only because they were born, can you honestly say preventing someone who shouldn't have children from getting pregnant is wrong? Just think about it.
