Is using birth control a form of abortion/immoral?

im a pro-choice catholic, stumbled upon your post, but id like for you to let me give you some respectful input. i respect your refusal of not wanting to have an abortion if you were to become pregnant since that is your choice.

i believe if im reading your post correctly, youre worried about conceiving while on the pill and having a "mini miscarriage." first, mini miscarriages are not a thing, they are not real. you dont have to worry. you either are pregnant or youre not. taking the pill while pregnant doesnt terminate pregnancy. there is no proof or evidence that the pill has ever caused miscarriages, they are not linked.

yes, taking oral contraceptives matter. they are 99.8% effective. meaning there is VERY minimal chance of pregnancy when used correctly (taking pill at same time, every day). my one friend is very cautious, and to make sure, she takes the pill and uses a condom. which is the most effective method youll ever be able to possibly get.

i have taken the pill for years. i have never had any or heard of any "mini miscarriages." the fact your doctor said that either means he is a fraud, an idiot, or that you couldve misinterpreted what he told you. go to a different doctor, please, that is very concerning.
