Why does Pro-Life Wisconsin get so “hung up” on birth control? Dont contraceptives prevent abortions?
Pro-Life Wisconsin focuses educationally and legislatively on birth control for three reasons: 1) Many forms of birth control cause chemical abortions in the earliest stages of life. This scientific fact is recognized by the FDA and is disclosed by the manufacturers of these drugs and devices in the package inserts. This includes birth control pills, the Patch, the I.U.D., Depo-Provera, Norplant, and others. 2) The contraceptive mentality of wishing to separate the good and natural effect of the conjugal act from the activity itself creates a hostility to life (pregnancy). This mentality puts up a barrier against Gods creative will. If the desired effect of the contraceptive fails (a common occurrence), then legal abortion enables couples to terminate an unplanned pregnancy. Human beings, as mere co-creators, have no right to kill what God, the Author of all life, has created in His infinite wisdom.
