people who do things they don't agree with, having sex before marriage, are supposed to suffer the natural consequences of their sin.

If you have sex before marriage you shouldn't get to dodge pregnancy with BC
If you have sex before marriage you shouldn't get to dodge having a child with an abortion.
If you are poor, you should starve cuz you are lazy.

I think it must really piss off conservatives that people dodge their godly punishment.

The conservative just can't let that go. They have to play god and punish their lessers in god's place.

Do they really think god'll take care of it after you die?

I don't think so.

Nothing more, nothing less. And they aren't necessarily against abortion. They are against a woman having the right to make the decision.

When they find out other people don't have to follow the same rules, they get sad, then they get mad, then they try to get even.
