TVII - to be honest some of the "God" arguments fall a little flat on me. Specifically saying how birth control that prevents implantation of a fertilized egg is in some way similar to abortion or should be banned.
1/3 of all pregnancies, from what I read, never implant. This means that, using that logic, "God" kills 1/3 of all 'babies' created - a far worse tally than anything people come up with.
That being said, I *personally* don't think "God" works that way.
I *do* know that, "back in the day", abortion was considered a private matter until the time of 'the quickening' - which was believed to be when the soul entered the fetus - and that tended to 'coincide' with being able to feel movement, kicking, etc.
