Sex is Gross and Dirty

Unable to get rid of abortion rights, the Right is targeting birth control with both barrels:

From conservative pharmacists refusing to dispense birth control pills to abstinence-only programs and anti-condom campaigns, access to contraception is facing tough challenges from the right. The strategy is similar to one that conservatives have used for abortion: Since overturning Roe vs. Wade looks unlikely in the near term, opponents have turned their sights on limiting access to the procedure. Now members of the religious and political right -- including the Bush administration -- are focusing on contraception, raising concern that they will succeed in curbing women's birth control choices and the ability to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
The article goes on like that, talking about their plans to prevent condoms, birth control pills, any mention of a penis or a vagina anywhere, at any time. You know, same old stuff. This shit pisses me off to no end. Seriously, guys. What do you think is going to happen? What would be your dream scenario? A world where no one has sex except within the confines of the sacrament of marriage? Jesus Christ, dream on! When, in the history of this planet, has that ever even been close to a reality?

Look, for myself, I prefer sex within the confines of some sort of loving relationship. But if five willing participants want to get their freak on trapeze-style, who am I to tell them not to? Who are you? People are going to fuck, Christians. So the question is, do you want them going around spitting out babies like watermelon seeds, or would you prefer that we keep this planet only somewhat overpopulated? And to call back the previous post - denying families on welfare access to birth control so they have ten rugrats running around unsupervised while mommy and daddy work their three jobs each is NOT a family value!
