Today I was unfriended on FB for the first time for political reasons. I'm pretty sure it's the first time I've ever really expressed a political opinion on FB.
The "friend" in question is DH's uncle who made an idiotic statement agreeing with Rush L. Really, how was I supposed to keep my mouth shut when someone agreed with that moron?
My initial response was an innocuous "babies cost a lot more than contraception.". The conversation degenerated from there-- especially when his wife joined the fray and said that the pill aborts embryos! (WTF?) And then some other crazy joined in and equated the pill with euthanasia.
And then I was unfriended, so I could no longer respond to the crazy. Which was surely for the best.
But seriously, the pill = abortion??? It is morally reprehensible to be preaching that crap.

Yeah, A's cousins won't even use an IUD because they were told it aborted fertilized eggs. I dunno. Another in-law who married into the family is a doctor and tried to talk to the younger girls, I don't know what impact she made on them.
Progesterone prevents implantation of a fertilized egg on the uterine wall. So I suppose, technically, you could think of it as abortion if you think life begins at conception. And if they're listening to Rush, they might.
Sigh. What a world we live in.
My friend, who went to an uber Christian college was told, in class by a professor there that the morning after pill made you throw up the egg. Seriously!?
