Attack of the ignorant, hypocritical jackasses

SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP

Dr. White is a mentor at the seminary, charged with helping future pastors make the right decisions. But earlier this month, a repentant Dr. White addressed those students.

He confessed that he and his wife had employed birth control pill years earlier.

"The reason that we did it was my own selfishness," he said. "I wanted kids, but I wanted kids — not in God's timing, but in my timing."

Dr. White now condemns the use of birth control pills, saying, "It's murder of a life."

SERIOUSLY SHUT UP YOU WORTHLESS LUMP OF FLESH.

Okay. Now that the knee-jerk reaction is out of the way...How about you mind your own fucking business at least until you learn some basic biology?

For the millionth, billionth time, I would like to explain to all fundamentalist assholes that the pill does not prevent implantation. It is theoretical possibility, but there is exactly no evidence that any hormonal birth control prevents implantation of a fertilized egg. The pill prevents babies from happening because there is no egg. Ovulation does not occur. No egg is released from the ovaries. Get it? That means there is no implantation to prevent. No egg is being fertilized, because there is no egg.

If someone forgets to take their birth control and has otherwise-unprotected sex, then yes, a much higher than regular dose of hormonal birth control can prevent implantation. This is not the typical usage, because THAT IS NOT WHAT THE PILL DOES. THERE IS NO EGG TO DO ANYTHING TO. THE ABSENCE OF THE EGG IS THE POINT!

Unless you're a medical doctor doing cutting-edge research on the topic, this is not something that can be negotiable. You, Dr. White, have a Ph.D in divinity from a Baptist seminary. This gives you plenty of knowledge on divinity, but apparently is rather lacking in biological expertise. Or, for that matter, common sense, avoidance of blatant and stunning hypocrisy, minding your own damn business. And apparently, Dr. White never even bothered to take Not Being a Jackass 101.
