Basic Reproductive Facts Can’t Be Altered Despite What the Governement Says
Submitted by Dr. Gwenn Is In
Some biological facts are irrefutable. One such fact is that conception occurs when an egg and sperm join together. Without that biological fact occurring to form an embryo, there has been no creation of life. We can argue for days about what point after that true life has begun but there isn’t a woman out there who won’t agree that you need the moment of conception first.
So, this plan by the Bush administration is beyond shocking and, as Senator Clinton stated last weekend, insulting! The Bush administration is putting forward a new plan that would define birth control as a form of abortion. The implication with this plan is that any act that could result in conception is now life. Come on! That is beyond a stretch.
Beyond fuzzy biology, however, the domino impact here would be devastating to woman of all walks of life because it would change the landscape of reimbursement for birth control from health insurance. If the Bush plan goes forward, commonly used birth control such as the birth control pill would now be classified as a form of “abortion” and wouldn’t be covered by many health insurance plans. Woman used to paying $10 a month for their pill would now pay much, much more. Many would no longer be able to afford their pills and many woman would find themselves with unwanted pregnancies and have to face even tough decisions: true abortions or raising a baby they either didn’t plan on, want or couldn’t afford.
Senator Clinton and other powerful Democrats such as Speaker Pelosi are planning on fighting this very hard first by trying to get the Bush administration to rescind this plan but if that doesn’t work they are planning on exploring legislative action to block this plan from moving forward.
We can help Senator Clinton battle this cause for us by providing a voice in support of stopping this madness. Senator Clinton has put up a petition on her website, HillPac, to help us help her. If this is something you feel as strongly about as I do, click here to sign.
Just to reiterate, here are the true definitions of conception and abortion compliments of the Merriam-Webster online dictionary:
conception: “the process of becoming pregnant involving fertilization or implantation or both”
abortion:“the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus”
In a nutshell, there can be no abortion if there is no pregnancy. Sex acts that do not result in conception do not count. And, a woman can not be penalized for wanting to prevent a pregnancy and be responsible. It honestly is that simple.
