46 years after—States seek to ban Hormonal Contraception—working to protect the rights of the ‘Pre-Born’
Yes, that is right, the “pre-born”.
“Two of the most aggressive efforts are under way in Alabama and Mississippi.
The measures define life as beginning at conception and would ban abortion. The Alabama Senate approved its bill, which is now pending in the House, and Mississippi residents will vote on the issue in November.
Nash says both of those bills “could conceivably” ban many forms of contraception because hormonal methods of contraception such as birth control pills act after fertilization of an egg occurs.
In Louisiana, LaBruzzo maintains that he has no intention of challenging a woman’s right to practice contraception.
“This is not about interfering with anyone’s ability to receive or participate in birth control,” he told Reuters. “What the bill says is that life begins at conception, and a baby who is pre-born should enjoy all the rights that a 1-day-old baby does.”
