typomatic: Correct me please if I am wrong, but does the contraceptive pill not abort the egg so as to ensure it is not there to be fertilised??
And that being so it cannot differentiate between a fertilised and non fertilised egg?
The contraceptive pill was developed to inhibit fertility, developed in the US, although I could be wrong on that. It prevents ovulation.
A woman, if we look at it from a menstruation point, aborts an unfertilised egg each month, when she has blood loss. A woman taking the pill, does not have what is called a 'natural bleed' each month, it is a manufactured one as a result of imbibing the contraceptive pill.
Which is why I asked RNG about his views on contraception. His issue is the fact that it is a foetus that has a heartbeat, therefore it is a human being. If I were to suffer an ectopic pregnancy, that foetus would also have a heartbeat, but it would be in the fallopian tubes, risking my life. Am I supposed to lose my own life now, for that of a child that has a low risk of surviving the full duration of a pregnancy? Do we lose one life or do we lose two?
What do you think Rilly? Should I risk my life, for that of a human that has little chance of surviving anyway? Or do I care for the children that I already have? Or is it better that I leave three children motherless should the one in my fallopian tubes survive?
