Yes, Abortion is Used as Birth Control

In the March 11 edition of the Abortion Gang blog, Kushielsmoon attempts to define the difference between abortion as birth control, and contraception (the pill, condoms, etc.). 

First, the literal meaning: something that controls birth. The second meaning, which seems much more popular: a method of contraception.

Though Merriam Webster defines birth control as:

1. : control of the number of children born especially by preventing or lessening the frequency of conception : contraception
2. : contraceptive devices or preparations

Kushielsmoon's literal definition is a bit closer to reality.  Perhaps it's time the term "birth control", was changed to what it is in the majority of cases, "conception control".  I say in the majority of cases because some types of birth control can act as an abortifacient.  Conception can occur, but the pregnancy may not be sustained, due to chemicals/hormones in the pill, or the IUD, making the uterus uninhabitable.

Reading the next paragraph gave me one of those *smh* moments.

In terms of the literal meaning, of course abortion is a way to control birth by preventing it from happening. Most people who talk about abortion as birth control, however, are not referring to the literal meaning. Most people are actually trying to say that women use abortion as a method of contraception. The only problem is that this is impossible. Contraceptives are defined as “an agent or device intended to prevent conception; capable of preventing conception or impregnation.”  An abortion is only performed after pregnancy has already started. You literally could not prevent conception by having an abortion.

"Most people are actually trying to say that women use abortion as a method of contraception" 

Make sense?  No, of course not.  Abortion cannot take place if conception hasn't taken place.  I guess pro-aborts 'think' we think that, and that in itself shows how much they listen and comprehend. Not much.

Now that we know what she thinks we think (she doesn't), let's have a little lecture on pro-abort language.

Pro-choicers who say “I’m okay with abortion as long as it’s not used as birth control” need to reclaim their language. Stop using anti-choice language that punishes women who choose to have their own feelings instead of feeling what other people tell them to feel. Realize that there is not a single woman who has an abortion “as birth control.”

Let's go back to basics - the literal meaning of birth control - something that controls birth.  Every woman that has an induced abortion does so, to 'control birth', aka birth control. So simple, even 'most' pro-aborts get it.

If you think I was kidding about Kushielsmoon's comprehension skills, you'd be wrong.  You've probably seen the videos where the pro-aborts chant "Abortion on demand and without apology".  If not, you're not missing much.  Today I saw this tweet by hers-truly.  While I firmly believe she intended the second line as a sarcastic joke, there's no doubt in my mind she meant the first part. 

To me, 'abortion-on-demand' is self-explanatory, and without regard to the human fetus that is killed.  This could mean the fetus gets killed because the girl and her boyfriend had a fight.  A wanted fetus one day, and a reminder of the boyfriend that pissed her off the next.  That's only one possibility in a sea of thousands.

The list of excuses for killing ones own child is endless in the pro-choice community.
