It matters because it's the difference between a contraceptive and an abortion. *snip*

But what moral difference is there between an abortion and a contraceptive that prevents implantation? I don't see one, unless you're going by the viability criterion (and I don't).

What do YOU define as the beginning of pregnancy, and what credentials do you have that supercede the whole medical community?

Do these pills promote reckless and irresponsible behavior? Of course.

That's not my concern in this thread. My concern is whether reckless and irresponsible behavior endangers human life. Now it looks like it does.
