re: #298 Charles Johnson

It’s stunning how many people who are otherwise rational turn into stubborn ideologues when the issue is contraception or abortion.

You know, I can see the moral objection to abortion. I’m morally opposed to it too. That being said, I want it legal because that’s the least worst option.

Contraception? I have no idea. It’s gotta be entirely about the need to keep woman as chattel of men, dating back to Mosaic law or something.

In my mind, contraception should be available free, no questions asked, at every convenience store in the fucking country. Schools should be required to teach boys and girls every last thing about every contraception method out there. Do this, and I guaran-fucking-tee that the abortion rate will plunge, as will single motherhood, poverty, crime, etc.
