I think this is a case of needing to define terms - "birth control" being the term subject to two definitions. "Birth control" - meaning any means to prevent a birth is one thing; by that definition, yes all abortion is a form of birth control, regardless of health issues or rape. A birth is prevented.
The second meaning being used here is a bit fuzzy to me - if rape or health concerns negate abortion as "birth control" - what do you mean by "birth control"?
eta - And yes, I see in reviewing the thread that the idea of rape or health concerns being a factor was in fact introduced by cheerfulgreek.

That's what I want to know. I'm sure he knows by now and where is he?

Ditto, because I'm not changing my views on abortion.

I assumed she really meant "back-up" birth control, for when your "first line" birth control fails.

Y'know, intelligent discussion often isn't really about trying to change anyone's views on the topic; it's about understanding -- really understanding -- the views of someone who sees things differently from you.
But I agree. Intelligent discussion isn't likely in this thread.

I agree, but on greekchat period, intelligent discussions are highly unlikely.

Well you're obviously doing a lot to change that perceived issue, what with the liberal use of the "eyeroll smiley."
Just wondering - you have so many issues with this site and the people on it, why do you even post?
