I think its a conversation that needs to happen at the beginning of a relationship, so there is no doubt as to where either party stands on the issue. I think a woman needs to be with someone with the same views as she holds, or the willingness to respect her decision whatever it may be. I think the man definitely has a right to an opinion, but that he must make that opinion known before abortion becomes an issue, so that the woman can take his opinion into account when deciding whether or not to sleep with him.
A pro choice woman dating a pro life man is probably not a great situation, if she would abort an unexpected pregnancy. a pro life woman dating a pro choice man would be ok, provided he would respect her choice to not have an abortion should the situation arise.

QuoteQuoteStill don't see the difference. Bottom line, if you believe that a fertilized egg is a human life, then if you advocate using the pill, you are advocating killing that human life. It's pretty clear. And actually it applies to the regular daily pill as well.
Nope, not true. Daily pill (vast majority of forms) prevent ovulation to begin with so no fertilized egg can occur. It is things like Depo shots that prevent implantation rather than preventing ovulation. This is why I'm on the pill and not the far more convenient Depo.

Yes, it is true.
"It also affects the lining of the uterus so if the egg is fertilized it cannot attach to the wall of the uterus. "

Maybe not in all cases. But there is a chance that it will kill fertilized eggs. Therefore if you believe that fertilized eggs are human life, you shouldn't take that chance.
Personally, I don't think they are human lives, but I still don't take that chance.

Phillykev was referring to the morning-after pill, a pill that acts in several ways to essentially cause a nonimplantation or spontaneous abortion.

Depo primarily works by preventing ovulation:
"Depo-Provera prevents pregnancy by preventing ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). If an egg is not released, pregnancy is unlikely. Depo-Provera is given as 1 shot in the buttock or upper arm. The first shot should be given within 5 days after the beginning of a normal menstrual period, and shots should be repeated every 3 months."
It also thickens the cervical mucous to make it more difficult for sperm to enter the uterus, and it also, LIKE THE PILL, makes implantation more difficult by altering the lining of the uterus.
How the pill works:
"Birth control pills fool the body into acting as if it's pregnant. Birth control pills, also called oral contraceptives (OCs), come in two forms: the combined OC, a combination of two synthetic hormones, estrogen and progestin; and, the minipill, which consists solely of progestin. Combined OCs are more commonly used, though both kinds are available through health care providers. The combination pill prevents ovulation by suppressing the natural hormones in the body that would stimulate the ovary to release an egg. By taking this estrogen throughout the month, you insure that no egg will be developed or released for that cycle. Progestin thickens the cervical mucus, hindering the movement of sperm. Progestin also prevents the uterus's lining from developing normally; so, if an egg were fertilized, implantation is unlikely."
