Hidden behind misleading terminology, the facts emerge: emergency contraceptives such as Ella and hormonal IUDs can and do cause abortions
Linda Greenhouse was, for many years, the New York Times’ Supreme Court reporter. In a guest column published on November 27, she delivered a Thanksgiving gift to the justices, one that would solve—she asserted—the most contentious of their cases this term, those involving the HHS “contraception” mandate. Greenhouse wrote:
The religiously committed owners of the companies whose cases the court will decide—Hobby Lobby employs 13,000 people in its 500-store chain—say they object not to all birth control but only to the methods they believe act after fertilization to prevent a fertilized egg from implanting and continuing to develop. This belief is incorrect, as a brief filed by a coalition of leading medical authorities demonstrates; although there was once some confusion on this point, the disputed hormonal methods are now understood to prevent fertilization from occurring in the first place.
About the medical facts, Greenhouse and the medical brief written by pro-abortion physicians that she cites are certainly wrong. Hobby Lobby and the other mandate complainants are right: several of the required “contraceptives” can work by killing an embryo before or after implantation, just as they assert in court papers. Perhaps because she is relying on the spin involved in the pro-abortion brief, Greenhouse is so utterly confused about the basics of human reproduction that she quite literally does not know what she is talking about.
Let’s start with her confusion, and work our way up to her grossly mistaken conclusions.
