Birth Control Death?!
Question: Okay well, My friend os sexually active and she told me that she was pregnant and that the birth control killed it and that it came out like a period....she wasen't upset at all and I would think that would cause some emotions..she also said that happened to some other girl at school......the questions are:
1)Is this a form of abortion?
2)Can you purposely take birth control to kill the baby?(Like do you know if you're pregnant and kill it?)
3)What is up with her emotions?
4)How would I tell her that I think she needs to be a little more careful when she's having sex?
She's only 15 by the way

(1) I've heard that birth control pills can sometimes abort, yes. A morning after pill is a massive dose of BC pills (from what I understand), so it makes sense to me that it could work kinda. I wouldn't rely on it as an abortion method though.
See the first link below (the only non-Christian/pro-life skewed article):
"Lacey's pharmacist and Kelley's doctors are among hundreds, perhaps thousands, of physicians and pharmacists who now adhere to a controversial belief that birth control pills and other forms of hormonal contraception--including the skin patch, the vaginal ring, and progesterone injections--cause tens of thousands of "silent" abortions every year. Consequently, they are refusing to prescribe or dispense them."
And the second life is pro-life, so remember they have a reason to push this, but they do have quotes from some medical people:

(2) It shouldn't always kill the baby, otherwise we would have less "birth control babies" (babies born to parents who were using the pill and/or other BC). Just using logic on this one. A lot of people use the pill and still wind up with a child. Then again, I guess they would stop the pill once they find out, or have an abortion, so I don't know the medical effects of the pill on a child since nobody keeping a child would continue to take it.
