I'm sorry for posting here, I realize that maybee this isn't the best place for it but I needed to contact you and I didn't know any other way.
In this post you said:
"Actually, Alcorn — and just about everybody else, it seems — is using old, recently-debunked data.

Yes, the original and continued proponents of The Pill believed it to have a third “back-up” abortifacient effect, because of the thinning of the uterine lining. But this thinning takes place only if there is no breakthrough ovulation.

If there is breakthrough ovulation, the corpus leuteum pours out more than enough hormones to offset the Pill, and the uterine lining grows rich and hospitable, ready to nurture new life just as it was meant to."

I'm curious where you got your data to back this up, please post it if you can. I have read dozens of articles and websites, all claiming
the opposite (that the COCs can, at least some of the times, be abortificient).
Thank you.

Here you go!

Here is an excerpt:

"An extensive review of pertinent scientific writings indicates that there is no credible evidence to validate a mechanism of pre-implantation abortion as a part of the action of hormone contraceptives. On the contrary, the existing evidence indicates that "on pill" conceptions are handled by the reproductive system with the same results seen with "off pill" conceptions, with the exception of increased ectopic rates seen with POPs and Norplant."
