Thanks, Jack, and I believe you are right; the title of this thread was not purposely misleading, only mistaken.

Several have pointed out that many people see no significant difference between preventing fertilization and preventing implantation. I know. Many of my patients have told me that they see no ethical difference. The point I am trying to make is that some people DO see an ethical difference and the current terminology is misleading on an issue important to them.

Suppose you are ethically opposed to trapping animals for furs. Suppose I am not. Suppose I sell you a coat trimmed with what I vaguely refer to as "faux". Suppose you later find out that the coat is actually trimmed with the fur of trapped muskrats. Wouldn't you be angry?
