How I Lost Faith in the “Pro-Life” Movement .. bits ..
The anti-birth control crowd leaves out one very important fact: a woman’s body naturally rejects at least 18% of fertilized eggs. This means that if you have unprotected sex that leads to the fertilization of an egg (30% chance of successful fertilization), the resulting zygote has an 18% chance of being rejected by the uterus. The human body naturally performs “abortions” almost 20% of the time. So does taking birth control actually increase the chances of zygote abortion, or does birth control actually reduce the chances of this occurring? Let’s do the math.
Without Birth Control:
* Out of 100 fertile women without birth control, 100 of them will ovulate in any given month. * Out of those 100 released eggs, 33 will become fertilized. * Out of those 33, 18% will be rejected by the uterus. * In a group of 100 women not on birth control: 6 zygotes will “die”
With Birth Control:
* Out of 100 fertile women on birth control, around 6 of them will ovulate in any given month. * Out of those 6 released eggs, only 2 will become fertilized. * Out of those 2, 100% will be rejected by the uterus. * In a group of 100 women on birth control: 2 zygotes will “die”
So let’s get this straight, taking birth control makes a woman’s body LESS likely to dispel fertilized eggs. If you believe that life begins at conception, shouldn’t it be your moral duty to reduce the number of zygote “abortions?” If you believe that a zygote is a human, you actually kill more babies by refusing to take birth control.
