to mean &#8220;the implantation of an embryo in the uterine lining.&#8221; Thus any drug that prevents implantation of an existing embryo prevents pregnancy rather than aborting an existing one. Semantics aside, the crucial, underlying question is whether these birth-control methods cause embryonic death.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-size: 85%;\">&#8220;As Donna Harrison has explained at NRO, an IUD&#8217;s manipulation of the hormone progesterone causes a woman&#8217;s body to reject any embryo that might be formed after ovulation, rather than wholly stopping ovulation from occurring. The copper material in some IUDs has been shown to be toxic to an embryo, leading to its death or, if it survives, abnormal development. Furthermore, an IUD&#8217;s manipulation of the uterine lining accounts for the fact that, among women who become pregnant while using an IUD, there is a high rate of ectopic pregnancy, in which the embryo implants somewhere outside the uterus.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/b>__________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><!--StartFragment --><b><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\">&#8216;ORWELLIAN S474 HEARTBEAT BILL INCLUDES FALSELY DEFINING &#8220;CONTRACEPTIVE&#8221; AS ALSO PREVENTING IMPLANTATION, WHICH OCCURS APPROX.
