Not most. Some vocal proponents, and in some cases, they are only against the types of birth control that release a fertilized embryo. We, of course, get parents who don't think someone else should be teaching their children the facts of life or providing birth control so they can experience them, but I know plenty of people (and have read quite a bit about it as well) who use and support some types of birth control while not believing women should be allowed the choice of abortion. It's the latter that makes someone specifically pro-life.


No, women who conceive shouldn't be able to end a life. That is what most pro-life proponents say. At one point, the majority may have believed what you say there, but it isn't that way any longer. Reality is starting to set in. If you could get any of our pro-life people to weigh in, I *think* they would say I'm correct.

So. There are more people against abortion who DO support birth control than there are who reject all of it. The problem really is that they feel that abortion is enough of a crime to negate the need for a place that provides that service. If PP stopped offering abortions and abortion counselling, they would have many more supporters. You cannot ignore that abortion is a strong enough "NO!" for some that it outweighs other positive factors (re: PP).

You're simplifying it. In most cases, miscarriages are natural. As unfortunate as it is, people lose babies fairly often, and that is very different to deciding to end that life on purpose. Pro-lifers believe conception makes a baby, and that abortion is murder, but you'll never have a fair argument about it if you continue to believe that most pro-lifers are also against all bc. That is a decreasing statistic, and mainly remains because of the types of bc available - some release the fertilized egg (which, incidentally, is exactly why I agree with you re: birth control research).
