25. excuse me, we had this argument back in the 60s and all Americans agreed

Fri Mar 2, 2012, 03:28 PM

Mar 2012

That contraception should be legal and widely available, that women using contraception are not sluts and whores but mothers and sisters and daughters and all good people, NOT immoral. That using contraception (rather than having an unwanted pregnancy) is RESPONSIBLE. YOU are not having to pay for it--we are making sure that insurance companies cover it, that is all.

Oh, there may have been a few anachronistic and unreasonable fundamentalist types that still hated it, but the concensus was contraception is GOOD! Even 98% of Catholics use birth control. Are they all immoral sluts? Really?

Now get over it, Caveman. It's the 21st century and women have been free for 50 years.
