H.H.S. (Health & Human Services)defines hormonal forms of birth control as abortion methods! That is 40% of the methods of birth control that are used by women in the United States. Among the methods included by these folks are the birth control pill, shot, implants, any method that keeps a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.
*
The H.H.S. released a proposal that allows any federal grant recipient to obstruct a woman's access to contraception.

I do not think they mean it as you are thinking. (May be wrong. But I think they were only looking for a term?)
I am pro-choice. However, scientifically, even an accidental miscarriage is called "spontaneous abortion." Abortion meaning the ending of the pregnancy. OK?
I believe they only mean that, if a person has concieved and then a chemical ends the pregnancy..and there being no judgement on it..this is still and abortion of the conception. Like miscarriage..wiht no judgement..is still a spontaneous abortive way nature sometimes ends the pregnancy? The word abortion does not imply intent. Only an ending or discontinuation.

Who let a Catholic in HHS? I am sorry, but how can you consider it abortion if a person is taking it before the fact??? This is nuts. There are already too many people in the world, welfare mothers such as myself are accused daily of having kids just to stay on welfare, but now I can't use medicaid to keep myself from doing that? I really hope this is just in the preliminaries and doesn't pass because this is ridiculous. It can't be an abortion if there isn't a baby yet!!!

I agree. Don't make a whole bunch of extra children that can't receive a decent education. It is an excellent means of keeping people in poverty, under control, and a very dark element in our government think that's a swell idea.

That's the sad part about it. The government is doing this to us, right before our faces, but yet and still people continue to vote the same people into office, and don't look at the big picture when they stop certain benefits. They see it as a waste of money, they see it as against the bible. I don't see how, but they always find a way to justify it.
