Things that may weaken your uterine lining

This series of posts is to collate some of the research that I have been doing on contraception and fertility. The motivation is largely from the following two paragraphs. I have an email to send off, but my thoughts are unorganized so I hope to organize them here. The first paragraph is from Mohler's blog which like almost any blog makes no pretense about being unfair. The second is from a Baptist Press article which I expect to have a bias, but I also expect them to be fair.

This is not merely a matter of semantics. Any intervention that prevents the fertilized egg from attaching to the uterine lining is an abortion. The Obama Administration has mandated the inclusion of the so-called “morning after pill” and other forms of “emergency contraception” in qualified plans.

The HHS mandate requires all methods approved as birth control by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be included in a range of services offered to patients free of charge. Those FDA-endorsed contraceptives include ones that have abortion-causing properties -- "ella;" emergency contraception, such as Plan B, and the intrauterine device (IUD). Those methods all have mechanisms that can prevent tiny embryos from implanting in the uterine wall. In the case of "ella," it also can block production of the hormone progesterone, destroying the placenta that provides nutrition to the embryo and causing the unborn child's death. [2]
