Abortion is a very sensitive topic both for me and for all other Christians who are trying to live a godly life.
Just recently I went to volunteer at a pregnancy center nearby where they told me that birth control causes abortions. I was immediately like Woah! That sounds crazy!
In order for a fertilized egg to grow, it must implant into the female's uterus. Basically, most birth controls nowadays prevent fertilization, BUT, if fertilization does occur, the birth control will prevent the egg from implanting; expelling the egg.
I went to some trusted Christian adult about this issue. They argued that: since fertilization with the birth control is rare, and since a woman's body expels 2/3 of her fertilized eggs without any form of contraceptive/birth control NATURALLY, they believe birth control is fine and not abortive. The wife argued that life starts at implantation anyway, but that is really something I cannot define.
I am asking for opinions. I personally agree with the husband and wife. What are your thoughts?
