I am a pro-life atheist

In my view, that is tantamount to murder. That you would have it financed is even more disturbing -- albeit refreshingly honest.

Here's some semantic problems:

Murder is defined as "The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another."
Whether or not a fetus/embryo counts as a "human being," the real issue here is that, in many countries, abortion is legal, so therefore, it is not the "The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another."

Maybe you're thinking of the word homicide, which has a less specific definition, even if it does have less of an emotional impact.

That said, I am a firm believer that with regards to contraception, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure," except, of course, when the prevention fails.
