Treating the Pill as Abortion, Draft Regulation Stirs Debate

Set aside the fraught question of when human life begins. The new debate: When does pregnancy begin? The Bush Administration has ignited a furor with a proposed definition of pregnancy that has the effect of classifying some of the most widely used methods of contraception as abortion.

A draft regulation, still being revised and debated, treats most birth-control
pills and intrauterine devices as abortion because they can work by preventing
fertilized eggs from implanting in the uterus. The regulation considers that
destroying "the life of a human being." Many medical groups disagree. They
hold that pregnancy isn't established until several days after conception, when
the fertilized egg has grown to a cluster of several dozen cells and burrowed
into the uterine wall. Anything that disrupts that process, in their view, is
contraception.
