[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will someone show me the specific legislation that makes Plan B, birth control and IUDs illegal in the AL bill? Someone made the allegation above and I am interested to be it. [/quote]

As with all legislation, it rests in the interpretation, namely whether preventing implantation of a fertilized egg is considered abortion or not.  Plan B functions in this way and at least some IUDs (or all IUDs according to the abortion fanatics).  Right now we have law makers who are categorically ignorant of biology and news media using graphics that illustrate the illegality of abortion before fertilization even occurs, so that's a nuance that isn't settled.

Could =/= Should

When someone makes a statement that the bill MAKES IUDs and some birth control pills illegal, you better be able to back that up.[/quote]

Birth control pills prevent fertilization and are not called an abortifacient except by the wingnutiest of the right.

IUDs and Plan B are abortifacients that effect the implantation of the fertilized egg.  Basically, they cause an abortion in the 2nd-3rd week of "pregnancy" or in the 1st week or so after fertilization.  If you have a bill, such as in Alabama that makes abortion illegal from the day of menstruation, then abortion in the 2nd-3rd week is illegal.

Gotcha. Thank you.[/quote]
