Kent,

The problem with your argument is that the definitions of abortion that you introduced in this thread were new to me, and I am sure, unheard of by most non-fanatically anti-birthcontrol Americans.

If you are for what the administration is doing you are supporting a sneaky agenda. Your "implantation" definition of abortion has no moral or practical value. IUD's etc are birth control. Even you say that the methods sometimes work as contraceptives. So they are not abortions, they are only potential abortions. Without arguments like yours a mother of faith could use the device or pill and rely on God and her prayers to have it work as a contraceptive. Even so, fertilized eggs are not babies. John Hardly saying something is so does not make it so. Does a fertilized egg have human rights? The question alone mocks the concept of human rights.

I am sure that you have opinions different than mine on the points I have just made. That's where the debate lies. If you want to change the legal and commonly used definitions. Start an information campaign. Try to change the law. Don't have some political hack try to change the law behind closed doors..
