Maybe, but polls seem to indicate that unrestricted is the desire of the majority.

Human skin cells do.
I don't see the practical difference between the body naturally aborting a pregnancy which happens a lot without anyone even noticing, taking a pill that restricts implanting, removing a cluster of cells that hasn't differentiated into anything other than non-sentient cells, and using a condom to stop the meeting of egg/sperm in the first place.

That's where Catholics and the like get their prohibition on contraception; something is interfering with the natural process of fertilization.
It's the beginning of human life, but it's still just a single cell at that point. Is removing one cell immoral?

For me because most of the pro-life arguments I've encountered aren't good arguments at all, just good sounding ones. And the ones that are good arguments are worth considering, but haven't been enough to change my mind.
