If it doesn't attach to the uterine wall there is no technical conception. Read the definition. Also in a lot of cases the egg isn't permitted to fertilize.
Conception is fertilization AND implantation. A fertilized egg is no more life than an egg or a sperm until it implants.edit on 17-2-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

No.. because a fertilized egg doesn't begin to grow into anything until plantation occurs, a woman isn't pregnant nor can she become pregnant without plantation. If an egg is fertilized and doesn't implant there is no baby and no chance of one.

Santorum doesn't need this guys help to look bad. Santorum himself said he would have his daughter give birth to a baby even if it was conceived during a rape. This wasn't a back page statement either, there is video of it from an interview.
I agree with everything you said though. It was an ignorant thing for that old man to say. Birth control can be prescribed for acne as well, for chaotic and painful menstruation, and I think in some cases depression (or maybe it causes it in some cases, I'm a dude so I don't remember). These religious people are crazy though, whoever included sex in the bible is a jerk. It's natural and it's good for us and one of the few great pleasures in life. Women shouldn't be expected to avoid it because they might get pregnant that's retarded.
Isn't it scary that a potential world leader could be so uptight about sex, one of the most natural things in the world. Why are republicans so fixated on it?edit on 17-2-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)edit on 17-2-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

You ignored the info I gave. There is no abortion with the pill.
If you think women that are raped should just deal with it and not have the choice to have an abortion then you are as wacked out as Santorum. Religion is the opiate of the masses and has ravaged your common sense. If there is a God he wouldn't punish people for things like contraception and he wouldn't punish a woman that didn't want a child forced on her by rape to have a constant reminder of that for life. If there is a God don't look for it to get in touch with you through some agenda riddled book brought to you by man. If there is a God and he created us all equal than he didn't speak to a few people anymore than he speaks to you and he didn't give them some divine advice to disseminate down through the ages. That sounds more like the action of corrupt man that something divine. Ever consider that?

Colbe: Question for you....
How would you feel if your employer held the belief that no one should have more than one child. Therefore, they refused to cover all expenses related to child birth and required all employees to be on the pill.
Would you like your employer to be able to make that rule? If you allow employers not to cover birth control then they could also choose not to cover prenatal care too.

Where did God say that if you made it where you couldn't become pregnant (again there is absolutely no fertilization in birth control and therfore no abortion). Also my mom waited until she was 30 before I was born and was married for like 6 years before she decided to have me, so no, i think your wrong she likely used some form of contraception and that didn't change the fact that she had me. Also it probably provided me with a much better life.
I bet you a hundred dollars you can't show me where God said it is a grave sin to use contraception. I know for a hundred percent fact you can't show me that.edit on 17-2-2012 by GogoVicMorrow because: (no reason given)

That is because I moved on from that argument whenever I read that birth control actually prohibits an egg from being fertilized. You argument was that life began at conception which to you is fertilization. So how is contraception abortion if an egg is never fertilized? How is it wrong if an egg is never fertilized?

I don't need to give any more proof because I already gave it. You keep saying life begins at conception. The definition of conception is fertilization and implantation. So essentially I am agreeing with you. Implantation is part of conception. Look it up in a dictionary. I already posted a link to the definition in the Webster merriam dictionary.
Now can you answer my second part.
