Plan B Fails to go OTC

[Inazuma]

Best thing to do is get a vasectomy. If you want kids, you adopt. Or, if you don't care about doing what's best, you can be selfish and bring more children into the world, which negatively affects everyone else. The population is already at 7 billion. If things continue like this, we will easily surpass 9 billion by 2050.

Just another line item in an ever increasing list of evidence that social conservatives want to punish women for having sex.

I am pro choice, but I disagree with that assertion. I think it mostly hinges on religious beliefs and the belief that life starts at conception, so they are protecting the sanctity of life. I don't agree with them, but that is their motivation.

Some of the sex ed arguments are from parents who think it is a family responsibility to do most of that education, and not the school or government.

The contraceptive argument stems from the belief that if they give condoms and support contraceptives to kids, then that will encourage them to have sex and condone sex acts instead of supporting abstinance...

Contraceptive debates always make me think of Monty Python:

If that's the case, why are so many of their policies inconsistant with protecting the sanctity of life? There are numerous examples in the chart I posted.

Because tha chart isn't the end all, be all of truth on the discussion. Also many of those policies and positions are from politicians and created from compromises to try and satisfy both sides. One could make a similar chart using similar policies and create many different points of view and conclusions on the possible motivations.

Have you ever sat down and talked with a pro-life proponent? The majority both believe life begins at conception AND that girls shouldn't be having sex before marriage. If their only goal was to prevent fertilized eggs from being terminated then they would be the first people to advocate that all girls get on the pill when they have their first period, since that would eliminate abortion. They are anti-premarital sex, plain and simple.

Also, does it seem weird to anyone else that Hatta and I are on the same side of a debate?

They're still punishing women, regardless of their "justifications".
