In reply to the discussion: Pic of the Moment: Crazy Sh*t Conservatives Say Inside the Fox News Bubble [View all]Ilsa

I thought you were placing the onus of post-rape birth control on the victim, obviously. I've known rape victims who were so traumatized, they lost half their vocabulary, had difficulty concentrating on driving, etc.
To answer your question: it boils down to this idea that conservatives have that women shouldn't be allowed control over their reproduction, so they define "life" as the moment of conception. They would do away with birth control pills that prevent conception if they could. They have a pre-Griswold vs Connecticutt view of contraception.
