Hey, Dalice, do you have a personal stake in this discussion?

Are you so intellectually dishonest that you can't have this conversation without throwing barbs.

You are funny dude ...

No one is encouraging ... promoting ... playing God ... or has a stake in it other than discussion.

You need to stay off the meds.

Well, we count pregnancy as 40 weeks from the LMP. Since ovulation tends to be ~14 days after that, 14+18=32. Which is a wee bit over 4 weeks preggo.

FYI, the fertilized egg has enough nutrients and is set up to support itself until implantation is complete. It also excretes hormones that prepare the uterine lining and "trick" the mother's immune system into not attacking it as a foreign body.

So ... Jekyll ... would one be playing God if a woman take birth control pills ???

The Catholic Church believes so ....

Are you willing to remain consistent in you line of logic?

You're right...but I've got a fevah...and the only prescription is...showing your babble for what it is...

Yes, people that try to reverse an error in judgement by taking these pills are really attempting to play god.

So being pro-active in playing god is okay ???? Gotcha.

But preventing contraception after ... is not.

Sure bubba ...

Grossly irresponsible, yes.

Murder? You'd have to include all contraceptives to be consistent if taken to prevent fertilization and/or ovulation.

Fascinating.

Dan, I am a nurse. A long time ago, when I was young and naive, I wanted to be a doctor. I thought doctors took care of sick people. Now, I know better. The doctors come in, write some orders and leave. It's the nurse who is with the patient 24/7.

*yawn*

bc pills stop fertilizaition, but do not perform abortions. I highly recommend not being on birth control because of the other health problems they bring.

Proactively altering the natural process of the body? When this happens with any medicine, yeah, there is a choice of playing god.

Now, try as hard as you can to not twist my statement into saying that all medicine is evil. When we take medicine to respond to anomalies and illnesses, this is a separate discussion which the forum has had.

After seeing my dad's health deteriorate after his Hep C became cirrhosis... I realized the enormous contributions of nurses during his various hospital stays ... they are the true caretakers ... many of the doctors are cold and heartless ... JMHO
