The government has no business getting involved
in what is essentially a religious issue.  The
"Pro-Life" people are trying to generate
Federal legislation designed to force *their*
religious beliefs on the whole country.
It won't work.  We have a whole generation of
women who've grown up knowing they have the
right to a legal abortion if they want one.
(Imagine trying to take away our right to vote?!)
Besides, the Pill is technically an abortificant.
Why don't the "Pro-Life" people try to outlaw
that as well?

The pill is not an abortificant; it works by preventing ovulation.  There
is good reason to suspect the IUD may be one, but no one really knows how
it works.
