Bible says at first breath. You’re wrong.

From a religious nut job perspective life begins at conception, not ejaculation, so you’re safe.

Where in the Bible are you referring to?
I’m an atheist now but was a handful of credit hours away from finishing my bachelor’s degree in “Bible”. There’s a verse in Genesis that talks about God breathing life into Adam, but that’s not talking about all humans.

The Morning After Pill is is technically not contraception as it happens after conception but prevents the embryo from attaching to the uterus wall (or something like that)

I thought its purpose was to tell the body to not ovulate as it simulates hormonal pregnancy, which is why it can also have rough side effects after. The copper IUD prevents an ovum from implanting in the uterine wall. The MAP does not prevent one getting pregnant if the egg has already dropped.

That’s the normal contraceptive pill that you’d take regularly, the “morning after pill” is for when you’ve realised that you forgot to use any contraception and need to stop that embryo before it grows any more!

Even for the morning after pill, the main mechanism is to prevent/delay ovulation that cycle. It can reduce the likelihood of implantation, but it’s less effective at that mode of prevention. And if the embryo already implanted, it will do nothing.

Not sure if this is where you’re going with this, but some pro life advocates view contraception that prevents the implantation of a fertilized egg as an abortion (and hence murder)

Oh I’m not going anywhere with it, just nit-picking.
I know Catholicism grabs you even earlier!
