[edit] Prefertilization effects
The combined Pill primarily prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation. In women who take the pills correctly, ovulation is prevented in 98-99% of cycles. Forgetting to take one or more pills increases ovulation rates; one study found skipping two pills in a row resulted in ovulation in 29% of cycles.[46] (In women not taking the Pill, pregnancy occurs in approximately 25% of ovulatory cycles.)[47]
In the event of breakthrough ovulation, secondary contraceptive mechanisms are believed to come into play. Proposed secondary mechanisms active before fertilization include thickening of cervical mucus, which can prevent or slow sperm entry into the uterus, and changes in tube transport inhibiting sperm migration to the fallopian tubes.[48]
[edit] Postfertilization effects
Mechanisms that act after fertilization are controversial; according to those who define pregnancy as beginning at fertilization such mechanisms make the method abortifacient.

If you define life at conception, will you change your mind on accepting birth control? Now that you have the knowledge that conception CAN occur?
2007-06-12 05:15:30 · update #1
the question is, now that you have the info that conception can occur, do you still accept the pill as contraception? I ask because I keep reading how the pill os OK because conception does not occur. Well, now that you know that it DOES occur, are you willing to denounce the pill?
2007-06-12 05:17:48 · update #2
so, no one wants to answer the question? That{s OK, all I wanted to do was EDUCATE people to their beliefs and the facts. It helps, when you want to judge others to have the facts

Tom, I need to take a shower...should women take showers with clothes on until they are ready to have a baby?
2007-06-12 05:28:10 · update #4
youasked, that is the point. Birth control is abortion. if you beieve that life begins at conception. Abstinence is against natural law within a marriage. Do any of you guys really know what you are talking about?

Good point - and don't forget about in vitro fertilization (test tube babies) - many extra embryoes are made and then discarded. Pro-lifers should oppose that too.

I think that people will cling to whatever notion they want to, no matter how irrational it is. Some people don't care about the fact that some women are ill-prepared, psychologically and/or financially, to raise a child. They think that nature should just take its course and a woman should conceive and bear a child she's not prepared to raise. Never mind the fact that not only would contraception not cause suffering, but it would prevent it, as well!

Nope...it is still a better choice than killing MILLIONS of babies through abortion...
Abstinence is best...but the selfish I want it now and I can do what I want mentality does not leave much room for better choices.Abstinence also eliminates sexually transmitted disease...brings the morality of the country wayyyy up and can give people a focus on bettering themselves and their country through the individual.
Since abstinence is not a choice the PRO-CHOICE people care to make then there is little left to prevent the murder of innocent babies through abortion...birth control then remains one of the only true options.
BTW...most of us choose to know the facts BEFORE we make the stand.

properly, there are various uneducated human beings elevating their little ones on welfare the place abortion is criminal. so as that argument does not carry any water. You, your self, mentioned that retaining your toddler became a sturdy decision. At a time whilst your sixteen and knocked up no selections are actual sturdy. yet there are effects on your movements. the toddler should not be on the receiving end of those effects. directly to what I thik your factor is-If the ladies folk (and boys) does no longer work together in sexual intercourse they does no longer ought to stand this decision. yet to grant a potential for them to "screw" around with decreased hazards is rediculous. you're conscious that start administration does not continually paintings-see my first son. a brilliant portion of our societies issues is that noone desires to take duty for his or her movements. it incredibly is often somebody elses fault-properly guess what: YOU administration WHAT YOU DO. in case you do no longer want young little ones stay faraway from the horizontal momba. with a bit of luck that little rant solutions your little rant.

I'll happily answer. Whether conception occurs or not I support both birth control and abortion options.

Is anyone trying to keep you from getting an abortion or are you simply trying to push your views on the rest of us?
