Ep. 129: If abortion is murder, is contraception murder?

The Mindcrime Liberty Show discusses whether contraception, including natural family planning, is murder, if indeed abortion is murder? If humans, in particular couples who view abortion as murder, engage in sex while knowingly frustrating the natural consequences of the act, what is the difference between that and many abortions (in particular those that occur early on which are the majority)? The humans doing this intercourse are not ignorant of the mechanics of the act, unlike certain supposed isolated tribes or animals, thus ignorance is not a defence. Even if this process isn’t murder, what is the ethics of “family planning?” If one "steelmans" the pro-choice argument, as well as looking at the empirical data, abortion is a kind of ersatz family planning which is used by people of low impulse control which was infamously pointed out by Richard Spencer. Even if contraception isn’t murder and abortion is, what are the ethics of using contraception especially if one thinks abortion is murder? Will the pro-life movement go after contraception? Should they? How many children ought a couple, or a society, have? If sex is merely about peer bonding and not procreation what exactly do so many paleo-conservatives have to complain about with respect to other sexual acts?
