I am not sure this belief is inaccurate. I'll have to do more research and check his sources, but if you accept the anti-abortion position, he seems to make a good argument for rejecting birth control pills.

Which belief? That birth control is a form of abortion? It's completely inaccurate. Abortions are procedures that terminate pregnancies, and pregnancy is defined as starting at implantation.

Further, while some pills may do that, most work by preventing ovulation, which means that there's nothing to fertilize anyways. It's all a load of bunk.

I'd suggest following the link in my post and reading the comments.

The operative phrase here being "if you accept the anti-abortion position", which requires rewriting reality.

Yes, and I do not support the anti-abortion position. I just thought the anti-pill position is a reasonable conclusion given their erroneous assumptions.

Well, yes. It's well-known that one can logically support any conclusion when starting with false assumptions.
