Contraception = Abortion

The Department of Health and Human Services has issued a proposal which allows federally funded health care providers to deny contraception on the grounds that it may be abortion. By redefining pregnancy to include fertilization before implantation, contraception becomes abortion.

My favourite part of the article linked above:

It now claims that pregnancy begins at some biologically unknowable moment (there's no test to determine if a woman's egg has been fertilized). Under these new standards there would be no way for a woman to prove she's not pregnant. Thus, any woman could be denied contraception under HHS' new science.

That is so beautiful. And if we really want to push the envelope and prevent abortions, I think we need to monitor women who could be aborting their children. All women of child bearing age should be incarcerated and under complete government control. I mean if they can't prove they aren't pregnant there is no reason to let them go walking around to their abortionists. Or even smoking, drinking or trying to stay slim rather than providing the care and nutrients that their possibly male sons could desperately need. Ug.

It's sort of like the opposite of preventing tarrist attacks. Every non-attack is a prevented attack; therefore there is literally an infinite number of attacks being prevented right now.

The flipside is that since we don't know when pregnancy begins, every woman of child-bearing age could be pregnant at this very moment, and must be compelled to produce an infant. Involuntary confinement might in fact be the only way to achieve this.

If we ever want the messiah to be born that may be the only way to do it. Or wait was it the anti-christ who is born and the messiah comes down in body from heaven. Then we should have abortion.
