The moral objections from those opposed to President Obama’s healthcare plan don’t end at the contraceptive mandate. Troy Newman of Operation Rescue says the Obama administration is intentionally mis-characterizing the definition of contraception beyond its intended meaning.

Newman says the accurate definition of contraception is the prevention of fertilization. Any method that entails the destruction of the developing baby is not true contraception, but is the abortion of an already formed, living, and unique human individual.

Obama’s “contraception mandate” includes IUDs, the morning after pill, Ella, Plan B, and a host of other prescriptions that are by no means strictly “contraceptive” in nature. These devices and chemicals abort the growing embryo prior to the fetus implanting in her mother’s womb.
