Just remember that the whole point here is that these folks aren’t interested in what is medically or scientifically defined. It’s all about wanting their religious beliefs legislated on others. The same people are often opposed to IVF because it results in the destruction of embryos that will never implant. I don’t agree with this, obviously. Don’t shoot the messenger. 😃 I’ve always known that. That’s been at the core of the issue for decades. Yes, sorry - I was trying to reply to @zingermack and hit the wrong reply button.

If an IUD = abortion, then male masturbation = mass murder, amirite? Not defending, just explaining - but no. Masturbation doesn’t result in anything being fertilized. (The Catholic Church terms that a sin for other reasons - a distinction not immediately obvious to Monty Python fans, among others. 😂)

Just wanted to pop in as I didn't have a chance to get on 2peas yesterday and didn't want people to think I posted and ran - I am pro-choice - period full stop. It doesn't mean that we can't be scientifically accurate. I've never thought that pretend something isn't true is better than acknowledging the reality of the situation. And @dottyscrapper - you seem to be missing that medically speaking conception is the joining of sperm and an ovum - so no an IUD does not prevent all conception - a small minority of the time a conception occurs and the IUD prevent implantation. And it is also not medically accurate to equate that to abortion as that occurs after implantation.

As a Missourian this has been weighing heavily on me. I received this today from the Council on Disabilities, which follows all legislation that impacts people with disabilities in the state:
Yesterday (June 30) the Federal Reimbursement Allowances bill (SB 1) introduced during the extraordinary session was Truly Agreed and Finally Passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Parson. Therefore, the Governor did not have to implement the withholds, restrictions, decreases, and program eliminations discussed.
