Conservatives Now Trying To Define Contraception As A Recreational Drug. [View all]

The conservatives now trying to define contraceptive practices and birth control pills as a gateway to recreational sex. They claim that it violates the real purpose of sex as for procreation only. Funny that they say nothing about Viagra or Cialis.

Why are they not saying that if you can't perform naturally you shouldn't be allowed chemical help?
