What is an Abortifacient?

"... An abortifacient can also be simply defined. It is a drug or device which causes an abortion within the first one or two weeks of a human's life. An abortifacient acts after human life has begun and produces a micro-abortion. ... The intrauterine device is advertised in our medical journals as a 'contraceptive.' The morning-after pill, or shot, is advertised as a 'contraceptive.' The contraceptive pill, which also at times produces micro-abortions, is also advertised as a 'contraceptive.' So is the new Norplant. ... In the early 1960's, officials from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology teamed up with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and they simply redefined the word 'conception.' They said it would no longer be the time of union of sperm and ovum, but rather would be the time, one week later, when this new human plants inside the lining of the mother's womb. 'Fertilization' would still be the word used for the time of union of sperm and ovum. The interesting thing was though that no one knew of this change except an inner circle of medical and drug people. And so what has happened? Well, just what they planned. Today a physician can truthfully call the IUD a 'contraceptive,' and mean that it prevents implantation in the wall of the uterus, while his patient, hearing him use the word, 'contraception,' will understand it to mean 'the prevention of the union of sperm and ovum.' And so, presto! An abortifacient is called a 'contraceptive,' and everybody is fooled. A classic example of double speak, or the perversion of language. That slight of hand definition change happened 30 years ago. Today only a few physicians know that many so-called contraceptives really act as abortifacients."

"... in fact birth control pills sometimes act as "abortifacients", things that cause abortion. ... Even those who see no moral distinction between preventing pregnancy through contraception and avoiding pregnancy through abstinence, must still object to any birth control method that relies, even a small percentage of the time, on destroying a life that has already begun. ..."
