So does anyone here have a problem with something that is actually in the website?

And is there any evidence to suggest exposure to any of the information therein (e.g., birth control) is harmful to the youth in any way?

...Now what about evidence to suggest that not being informed about birth control is harmful?

Both my doctor and I called it a birth control pill, because that is what it is marketed as.


*Sigh*...it's sad to see that marketing actually controls how people define terms.

I suppose you think a windfall tax also raises taxes right?

The decision to not bear children is murder.

It is the equivalent of taking a 2-week old baby and throwing him/her into a wall.

So you can see why I find it so sickening.

So because something makes more money means it's OK to change the definition?

No, that's LYING!

If it's original purpose is for hypertension, then that is its function.

Because, without any intervention, the process would produce a child.

To interfere with said process is robbing that child a chance to be born.

Where? In which American state is having children mandatory?

Well, I worked in Dr. Morgantaler's Edmonton clinic as a security guard as it was being built and for a while after it opened. I think I'd have noticed this. So I'll beg to differ.

Sure, but so what? You don't like it. We get it. Fine. But again, so what? No one is asking you to like it, just acknowledge the fact that your distaste doesn't justify forcing women to bear children against their will.

NOthing is being changed. Or are you of the thought that medicine developed only has one use and one use only?

OR do you forget that asprin was always marketed as a pain reliever and since the 70's, its been marketed as a means to reduce heart attack risks and that it can be used during a heart attack.

All medicine lists what it can be used for, and what the main use is for.

Birth control is used for BIRTH control, but it has other uses as well.

Your fake outrage is noted.

then you better tell Pfizer that they've been lying all this time. Funny how the FTC and the FDA don't mind them marketing it as a male enhancement medicine (because, it is)

so those practicing abstinence are murders. There is no man-made intervention. People choose to not have sex in that instance.

So are priests murderers?

Since no sex is performed, the process has not begun.

To use an analogy, having an abortion is like cheating on a test and then asking for a retest, so that you can pretend you never cheated.

What you are saying is that if someone takes the test fairly that somehow they cheated anyway!
