A big thanks to Feministing for alerting us to this one:
The American Life League is launching a campaign against the birth control pill called “The Pill Kills Babies”. You read that right. According to ALL, plain old oral contraceptives are causing billions of abortions a year. Perhaps ALL’s next campaign should be against breast feeding, which can also have a contraceptive effect.
I had my own experience with Judie Brown, the Director of ALL. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to debate her at a high school “Constitution Day” on the issue of reproductive choice. She was spewing the same nonsense then. So I asked her point blank: Do you mean to tell me that because I take birth control pills, I’ve had 12 abortions over the past year? She said yes, and you can just imagine the reaction.
