2. Contraception vs. the pill

I would like to know where Mitt Romney stands on a woman's right to use birth control pills. He is very careful to always use the term "contraception", which is the prevention of a egg from being fertilized. But it is my understanding that one of the ways a birth control pill works is by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the womb. Wouldn't Romney consider this the termination of life, since the egg is already fertilized? Is Romney against women using the pill?
