Using birth control as a form of abortion?

so this was a weird thing i heard about using birth control pills to abort a fertalized egg. it was really strange and i was just curious about anyones take on it.





it was said that if you take 2 pills every two hours it was able to abort the egg and forcing you to have your period. the reason is because since you are taking so much of the pill that it is putting all this estrogen inside your body that it gives out and leads to a miscarriage.





it sounds pretty dangerous and poisonous to me.





your opinion?Using birth control as a form of abortion?
Actually, the method you describe is pretty much the same idea as plan B. it's what docs used to use before Plan B was offered. It's two pills three times a day for two days if I recall correctly (I had a close friends do it many years ago).





Plan B is just a concentrated dose of a slightly different hormone. Works the same way as if you go the birth control pill route. If you have an egg fertilized, the pills prevent it from implanting in your uterus. Not quite the same as abortion, which rips an implanted and growing fetus from your womb.





Personally, I don't consider them to be the same thing, although many who believe life begins at the moment of conception disagree. Here's how I think of it: if a fertilized egg can't turn into a baby without implantation, then how is it an unborn child? If you consider all fertilized eggs to be babies, then what about all those frozen embryos in fertility centers? If the fertility doc implants like 5, hoping one will catch, then would you say the other four were ';aborted'; because they didn't implant? What about the leftovers that aren't used because the couple gets pregnant? Should they be forced to bring all of those to term?





Just my perspective. Hope it helps. BTW, I am generally pro-life, but also choose to use my own mind to decide what is right and wrong.Using birth control as a form of abortion?
I suggest you get a new hobby dear. Try tatting or petit point.
It sounds unhealthy and just as disgusting. If you're against abortion, why would you force yourself into a miscarriage? It's hypocritical. I suppose it depends on how far along you are when you take it, but... I really don't see much of a difference. A day-after pill is one thing, but a force-miscarriage is just... wrong.
Yeah w/e ... I'm a Catholic school gurl, and abortions sound ok to me. are not bad.
Just to add:





If you take too many and the fetus doesnt abort and you actually deliver the baby will most likely come out with a lot of different birth defects (ie born with out a brain, and trust me I didnt believe it til I seen it for myself)
that doesnt seem safe!





one alternative is just to get 'the morning after pill' and use that.





hope this helps!
sounds very unhealthy and dangerous
I believe you would ebd up in the hospital and may still be pregnant!
pretty dangerous and poisonous.
It's not a good idea...sometimes the fetus will still form altho it will have abnormalities some of which are not compatable to life. Or you'll have a stillborn baby.
Cat curiosity get my drift...
i know somepeople may find they need to have an abortions but to do it on their own buy overdosing on birth control is murder and just plain wrong in my opinion.





but to answer your question, im not sure but it definately sounds dangerous to me. and irrisponsible not something i would not do
Technically: no. either someone has been giving you night mares, or giving out info wrong. It keeps the egg from fertilizing...so there is no baby in u in the first place so technically it is not a form of abortion...








babies are sweet! when ur ready, you should def have one!
Regular birth control doesn't work like that. Regular birth control on affects ovulation and prevents the fertilization of an egg. The morning after pill IS an abortive, it does not prevent ovulation, it does not prevent fertilization of an egg however it does (at least 85% of the time in CORRECT circumstances) prevent implantation of an already fertilized egg. I often question when young women will actually start listening to their doctors and pay attention to the information given with their regular birth control rather than rely on the undereducated old wive's tales they get from their peers. SIGH...no wonder so many teens are pregnant these days.
Wouldn't recommend it .
i wouldn't risk it. sounds like you could poison yourself
Plan B is now available in most drug stores. I would go that route instead of trying to take your birth control pills in large quantities. That does not sound safe.
