According to an excerpt from WebMD, hormonal contraceptives prevent pregnancy in three different ways. Number one, the hormonal contraceptive may stop the body from ovulating. This means that it keeps an egg from being released and therefore the egg is not fertilized. Number two, the hormonal contraceptives also may change the cervical mucus, which makes it difficult for the man's seed to go through the cervix and find an egg. This also keeps the egg from being fertilized. Number three, the hormonal contraceptive may change the lining of the womb so that the fertilized egg will not be able to be implanted. In this third method, the egg is indeed fertilized, which means there has been conception, but the egg is kept from getting the nutrients it needs and therefore dies as a result. If you believe that life begins at conception, then this third means of ending a pregnancy is murder and therefore you should reject the use of birth control.
