8. Not to mention that the Catholic Church is utterly opposed to birth control.

If, and only if, all methods of birth control including the morning after pill were available to all women, then, and only then might an anti-abortion stance be reasonable.

Something else that all the anti-abortion people don't understand is that some surprisingly large number of conceptions that don't lead to a live birth is possibly as high as 50%.

There is such a fundamental misunderstanding of the entire process out there that it's quite discouraging.

As I like to point out, If you don't believe in abortion then don't have one.
