Intention means everything when dealing with humans. In the case of hormone based contraception the worst potential side affect is sex hormone bonding hemoglobin, but that's a whole other thread.


In the 1920s if a doctor used either before surgery and u didn't recover that wasn't murder, that was using the best anesthesia available at the time. Hormone based contraceptive is the same thing.


Also, its reasonable to believe that if u have a failure to prevent ovulation you would also fail to prevent the swelling of the uterine lining and the uterine lining may make it more difficult, but not impossible for implanting.


I think the landing spot for a pro life policy in general has to do with what's a reasonable expectation. Non implanted zygotes occur and are an unavoidable part of menstration in a sexually active relationship. Its not reasonable to expect a woman or a state to micro manage that.


When it comes to arbitrary abortion on demand, intentionally killing a growing human life's a wholly separate issue.
