Thread Name: BS: Contraception = Abortion
Subject: RE: BS: Contraception = Abortion
I have been talking with Carol about this. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding.

Kent.

In your first post you accused someone of being misleading about the Bush Administration equating contraception and abortion.

The Moveon ad says that The Bush Administration is equating "Birth control" and "Emergency contraception" with abortion.

Michaelr, perhaps equates Contraception with birth control , hence the title. I am willing to bet that he, like me, before reading this thread, thought that contraception and birth control, meant the same thing.

Thank you Katlaughing for your last post. It cleared up that confusion for me quite nicely.

I believe Kent Davis, that you were mistaken to say that Michaelr's title on this thread was misleading. Indeed it was mistaken. No one did any more than imply that it was the Bush Administration was equating contraception and abortion. So it seems that an accidental straw man was created.

I apologize for not knowing the clinical definitions of Birth control vs contraception before I spoke up. It would have saved us some time if I had recognized the misunderstanding at post ten rather than post two hundred and twenty something.
