Now, if you're pro-life, that's cool. There's a lot about your position I cannot refute and I'm probably not the guy to do so anyway. But when you not only want to ban abortion, but also contraception, then you're a friggin' whackjob. Here's a quote from Judi Brown:
"Let's get it right. Contraception predisposes couples to have a negative attitude toward children. If a preborn baby survives the chemical attack by a birth control pill, his parents are already negative about him, and their choice of abortion is nearly always the same - kill the problem."
Right, Judi. Nothing will lower the rate of abortions more than forbidding the things that stop people from getting pregnant. There'd better be some big garbage cans in her utopia because they'll be full of newborns.

As a Catholic, I respect the Vatican's policy against contraception.
However, the last thing this country needs is more and more children born into poverty and crime, and proper contraception is the best way to stop this blight to society.

I'm pro-life and will readily agree with you on this one. I think it's safe to say that the extremists on both sides including "Judy" are embarassments to any reasonable person.

I don't see whats bad about contraception. My sister has to take birth control pills to regulate certain hormones, and I will slap on a hat to prevent the HIV and other nasties. One thing I learned in church years ago, is that all of us have free will. Why should someone interfere with my way of life or someone elses. Another thing I've learned: Judge not, lest you be judged.

Quoting We're Nuts (Reply 7): "If a preborn baby survives the chemical attack by a birth control pill"
Right. Dosn't the pill steralise the eggs and so they can never be fertilised and thus never create life?
Some lunatic needs to get their facts straight

I'm pro life, but banning contraception is a terrible idea, that's just what we need, tons of kids being born into families that didn't want them, yes, that will be really good. What a nut!

Calling synthetic hormones a "chemical attack" is also blatant spin, the type right wing strategists are known for. My guess is Judie's blog is a testing ground for a new conservative attack on women's rights. Either that or she's padding her resume for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

Quoting Fumanchewd (Reply 11): This country would have a lot less problems if only anal sex became more popular. I'll start the petition.
I'll sign it. Only with language stipulating it as a final option to Rosie Palm, Manuella or B.J......and if it's prescribed by a licensed Psychologist.

Quoting AR385 (Reply 6): I am a Catholic, and I find the Vatican's position on contraception needs to be revised. It is anachronic and completely unrealistic.
Agreed. But do you realize the HUGE implications that this could have. It would go from use of condoms is OK. This means that sex without the posibility of conception is OK. This means that gay sex is OK.
See were this is leading to?
These people are everywere.. i just read this other woman accusing the communist that have infiltrated the UN - "the one that approves of gay marriage and the use of condoms and has allowed Cuba in its Human Right commision" of providing funding for the movie version of The DaVinci Code.

What's wrong with gay sex? And it's not like we need to use contraceptives...

Sure, we're concerned for our lives. Just not as concerned as saving 9 bucks on a roundtrip to Ft. Myers.

Ultimately these nuts want to regulate sexual activity. To them the pro life position is not about the abortion issue but the deeper issue of sex without the purpose of procreation. If they wanted to reduce the # of abortions, they would have wanted a morning after pill, however they blocked that because life now apparently begins the moment sperms meets egg ( I don't know the scientific terminology). However they fought that, and now the FDA is not making the pill available over the counter. Apparently promiscuity is more evil then abortions.
These fundies have one purpose, to ensure that sexual activity is only for the purpose of procreation, and nothing else.They need to get laid more often.
