100%. If they think life starts at conception then the pill, IUDs, and plan B are out. Then we'll see the mental gymnastics over condoms.
Can you explain how the pill and IUD are out?
The combined oral contraceptive pill suppresses ovulation, there's nothing to conceive with.
Copper IUDs denature the head of the sperm, meaning they are no longer able to fertilise an egg.
In both instances, there's either a no egg, or no viable sperm. It's no different to having sex while infertile (is that a crime too? Because if it is I'd like to see them try and stop me)
I can see how the pill could end up on the chopping block, as it's secondary method of action is to prevent the uterine lining thickening enough to support implantation of a fertilised egg, but copper IUDs prevent contraception, so life never begins, and thus nothing is "murdered"
Oh the answer is quite simple they will be "out" because they enable godless whores to have sex outside of marriage without consequences. And by consequences we mean forced conception and birth and with any luck the mutilation and/or death of the woman if anything goes wrong.
As Jesus intended. Next question.
Ah thank you, I was using too much logic and failed to remember that misogynistic laws aren't made from a position of reason.
