Infertility Support and Discussion
Kind of a low bar, I guess, but thanks. |
You’re right. It is your prerogative to wallow in ignorance if you so choose. I will revise the post and repost here: Your post is factually incorrect and grossly misinformed. Hormonal birth control generally works through three mechanisms. First, it prevents ovulation. Second, it changes the cervical mucus to make it harder for sperm to pass through and fertilize an egg that may have been released anyway. And then the back-up mechanism to those is to thin the uterine lining or, in the case of copper IUDs, make the uterus “hostile” to implantation so that if an egg is released and fertilized, it cannot implant in the uterus. |
I’m not anti abortion. I’m not religious either. The pill works to prevent fertilization. It does absolutely nothing after an egg is fertilized. Full stop. |
BCPs use all three mechanisms, not just the first two. You are deeply misinformed about how birth control works. |
DP. You are simply wrong about this. |
Here's a fun exercise, list every Supreme Court Case where the 9th amendment was used to uphold a right. It shouldn't take long because there is only one case, and even that case only mentions the 9th in a concurrence. |
So, they'll get rid of the combined pill and remove the third mechanism. Done. Now you can use your pill to prevent ovulation and prevent the sperm from reaching the egg. Those two mechanisms alone are probabaly over 97% effective. You all are constantly throwing out red herrings. |
Truth! Vasectomies for all... |
OMG do you have a Magic Science Wand to do that?! Sweet - let me know when you've invented, tested and received authorization for your Brand New Pill. |
You’re the one who knows it all. You do it. This exercise will be clear proof that you are monumentally superior to the justices. |
At some point in time, the BCP evolved into what I believe is called a combined pill, that has three stop measures, the last one of which is creating a hostile environment for implantation. PP is a jerk, but is right about how most forms of the BCP work. |
You’re skipping the part where we bring this back on topic to fertility treatments. Now that you’ve admitted we would have to do away with any medical care that might negatively affect a fertilized egg, what happens to unimplanted embryos from IVF? |
Well, that's how the pill was originally invented, to prevent ovuation. It was later combined. Shouldn't be too hard. |
That's what they said about a possible RvW overturn. It's "settled law". You cannot ban the murder of humans because life begins at conception, and then make ANY exceptions. There cannot be selective reduction if you ban abortion. There cannot be expections for rape and incest. It is not the fault of the embryo as to how it was conceived. You cannot flush embyros by the thousands down the drain. You cannot allow IUDs to cause fertilized embryos to be flushed out of the womb. If you ban abortion and still allow all of the above.... then it would almost be like fetal life is not the point. Which would be really weird. |

When asked if Mississippi might next target the use of contraceptives such as the Plan B pill or intrauterine devices, Reeves demurred, saying that was not what the state was focused on “at this time.” |
