The American Life League, based in Stafford, Virginia, is against all artificial contraceptive methods. It only endorses natural family planning as a means to space births. Even anti-abortion groups discount this stand because of the League links contraception and abortion. The League counters by stressing that contraception makes it easier for people to have immoral relationships. Further, contraception-users discount sexual intercourse's role in producing babies. The sexual revolution, fueled by contraception, even intrudes in the lives of kindergartners in New York City who are being taught that gay and lesbian families are the same as heterosexual families. If anti-abortionists do not understand the link between contraception and abortion, millions more babies will die in the next 20 years. Pro-choice groups ask anti-abortion groups to join them in promoting new and better contraception to prevent abortion, but the League rebukes them. The pro-choice groups want reproduction freedom, but this freedom, according to the League, is to do whatever one wants and not the freedom to define what is good and true; it will keep people from remembering that conception may occur after sexual intercourse. The emergence of RU-486 and implants should lead anti-abortionists to stand up and say that they are against abortion and contraception.
