Pro-nosybastardization!

There is a movement to define contraception as abortion.
Which, personally, I think is a fabulous idea.
Probably about 70% (that's a total and complete fucking guess) of the pro-life population is really in favor of contraceptives... but not abortion. Which means if you make it abortion to PREVENT a baby, then there will be a huge number of people who are suddenly not so pro-life. Ban abortion would then = ban contraceptives and let's face it, there are little to none who want to do that. 
And, y'know, if pro-lifers stop being so insanely nosy and judgmental, suddenly it's okay to let people manage their own damn affairs! Because those same people who want to tell people they're murders for having an actual abortion don't want to be told THEY'RE murders for using condoms. Taking your own medicine is kind of like drinking your own pee. Nobody wants to do it.

And I mean, I'm not totally serious about wanting contraception to suddenly be abortion.  But I think it'd be a hilarious slap in the face for the majority of the people who think it's perfectly fine to force their personal and religious views on everybody else by telling them what they can and can't do with their lives (as trite as that sounds).

Of course, it'll never happen because everyone who is sane knows this is, well, totally insane. It's about as insane as saying masturbation is abortion. Or saying that periods are abortion... and I don't know about the rest of the girls in the world, but I don't want to spend the majority of my life starting when I'm about 11 or 12 pregnant because some overly religious fuckhead thinks nature is murder.

Anyway, obviously it's a ridiculous proposal. But here's a funny little quote from another site I'll share: 
"Man, if they're defining life as starting at conception, God is America's biggest abortion provider, considering only one out of every six fertilized eggs manages to sort itself out enough to implant and after that about a quarter of those implantations wind up in miscarriage, frequently before a woman is aware she's pregnant. That means God Himself personally takes out 87.5% of precious conceived human souls. God should be banned"

(Of course, there is somebody out there saying that it's "nature" aborting those, not God. Which is hilarious, if you think about it).

I'm also just going to use this as a forum to discuss my own personal views. 
You can say I'm pro-choice if you like, but I prefer to think I'm pro-you live your life and I'll live mine.

Are we clear? Good? What are your thoughts?
