Can birth control pills kill unborn babies?
A dirty, little secret in the pharmaceutical world is that the Pill if taken in a certain way can actually work AFTER conception by preventing the embryo from implanting on the uterine wall. In other words, the pill can cause the baby to die. This is simply abortion by another name.
The "Morning After" Pill is nothing more than the regular birth control pill taken in massive dosage to insure that the embryo will not implant.
When taken as prescribed (every day) the birth control pill prevents conception by: 1usually preventing ovulation, and 2. thickening cervical mucous to delay/interfere with sperm entry through the cervix.
If the pill fails to prevent ovulation and conception, it prevents the fertilized egg from growing through "changes in the endometrium which reduce the likelihood of implantation" (a form of abortion).
When taken as a "morning after pill" the mechanism of action is to prevent implantation of a conceptus (zygote, the fertilized egg). Prevention of implantation can also be a factor in preventing pregnancy in those women who forget to take the pill every day, and therefore ovulate. Ovulation can occasionally occur even when a woman never misses a pill [between 1 and 3 of very 100 women get pregnant while on the pill, and "research indicates that figure may be considerably higher, up to 4% for 'good compliers' and 8% for 'poor compliers'" (Potter, "How Effective Are Contraceptives?" Obstetrics and Gynecology 1996; 135:13S-23S.)].
Although implantation prevention is apparently not the mechanism of action for the vast majority of women, especially for those who take the pill as prescribed, women who take birth control pills do risk the chance of aborting (killing) their unborn child.

The Real Deal
It All Began with Shakespeare
It all began with Shakespeare back in '94,
When first I offered my love to you,
And like a rose it bloomed
Since then our love has grown,
Our lives have changed,
and little has remained the same.
And you and I together,
Weathering many storms,
Created with our love a family--a family I adore.
The years have washed away with time,
It's fifteen to be exact.
Never once have I regretted--never once have I looked back.
And if I had to choose a wife again,
There would only be one choice for me,
I would ask you again to marry me--down on bended knee.
I concur with the judgement of Shakespeare,
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
No! 'thou art more lovely and temperate"--more so each and every day
No words or poems or gifts can express,
The debt of love I owe to thee.
So take my heart and life and soul--take all of me.

Robby's Turn For Valentine's Poem 2008
This is the poem Robby thought he was going to get away with. When I reminded him about a month ago that it was his turn to write the poem this year, he quickly replied: "There once was a student at Tech..." Well, so the poem turned into something, but I told him that I'd better be getting two poems this year! So here goes the FIRST one.
There Once Was a Student
There once was a student at Tech
Whose English was quite a wreck
She took my class,
And barely passed,
So I married her what the heck.
The second poem is forthcoming.
