Object: Birth control challenged by US Talicans
CHICAGO - Emboldened by the anti-abortion movement's success in
restricting access to abortion, an increasingly vocal group of
Christian conservatives is arguing that it's time to mount a
concerted attack on contraception.
Their voices were raised in Rosemont, Ill., last week at an
unusual anti-abortion meeting that drew 250 people from around the
nation to condemn artificial birth control. Experts at the
gathering assailed contraception on the grounds that it devalues
children, harms relationships between men and women, promotes
sexual promiscuity and leads to falling birth rates, among social
ills.

I'd absolutely agree with them.


Then I suggest that you find a magnifying glass and a pair of
tweezers and a sharp knife and remove your genitals.

Humans are not psychologically adapted for a world in which
there is reliable contraception.


Humans are not adapted for abstinence. It is unnatural.


BUT: It's 100% effective in preventing unwanted pregnancy.


Is is not. It fails quite often.


Wrong, abstinence, when used..CAN'T FAIL


Of course it can fail. It fails quite often because it is unnatural.
People vow abstinence and then have sex anyway.


Yea, WHEN THEY ARE READY TO HAVE SEX.

Who determines when someone is ready to have sex?


There are people who vow abstinence and WAIT. And it DOESN'T FAIL.

Not a very high percentage though. That is why contraception is a good
thing.

A difference that makes no difference is no difference. Someone that
practices abstaining that fails to abstain has failed to abstain. Quid Pro
Quo. That is why abstainance has not been particularly successful.
Getting back to the topic of the thread, there are people that do wish to
ban contraceptives and teach only abstinance. This is, of course, doomed to
fail.

Kids have it tough because they have people telling them constantly not to
***** around when they're younger, but there are _many_ years between
puberty and the day they get married, if they ever do, and the biological
'telling you what to do' signal is nearly always stronger, so kids will
***** around anyway.



There are people who vow abstinence and WAIT. And it DOESN'T FAIL.

Yup. Not only will most kids not take a vow of abstinence, but most of
them who _do_ end up having fucked someone by that time next year.
Abstinence works in theory, but not in practice. Humans are not meant to
not have sex for an indeterminate amount of time up to an arbitrary cutoff
point (marriage) that human biology has no awareness of. When someone hits
puberty, the body screams "I want to *****" constantly, and only maybe a
couple % of the really strong-willed kids (unspurprisingly, very few of
these in the crowd that is taught "ABSTINENCE ONLY") ever successfully
abstain to marriage.
Also, down the road, most of _that_ small percentage realize what a crock
of ***** it all is, and start enjoying sex anyway.

Artificial insemination.

Abstinence kills children. Think of all the pitter-pattering little feet
which abstinence has denied existence.
Think of all the diaper makers that have went out of business due to
lack of clientele. Think of all the baby food manufacturers who've had

To be fair, that and vasectomy are not 100%...they're like 99.9%.
*chuckles* Of course, abstinence is like any other method of birth control
in a way. There is the "perfect use" number (which is the best out of all
of them, at a perfect 100%), and there is the "typical use" number (which
allows for things like "human error" etc.), which is the _lowest_ at 10%
(a generous estimate).
From a pure mathematical point of view, I would _much_ rather have kids
taking the 1% risk all the time than attempting to use the 'method' that
has the huge spread between 100% and 10%. It's called "playing it safe."
By comparison, condoms have a rate in the upper 90s when used perfectly,
and mid to upper 80s with typical use. I would rather play it safe--both
of those numbers are pretty good, and don't have the huge swing that
abstinence does, from perfection (100%), which is quite rare, to the
abysmal 10%. Averaging those two numbers gives an effective rate of about
55% (think about it--90% of people who try abstinence _will_ fail at it,
as studies have shown), which is worse than pulling out (and pulling out
is something that most doctors will recommend you to _not_ rely on).
I don't know about you, but 55%? _I_ sure as ***** wouldn't want kids
staking something as important as a possible pregnancy on a fucking COIN
FLIP.

I'd absolutely agree with them.
Humans are not psychologically adapted for a world in which there is
reliable contraception.
The pill is taking down our culture.

Amongst Catholics who didn't live together before marriage, and who don't
use contraception, the divorce rate is so low that it is effectively zero.

The Catholic divorce rate in the U.S. is 20%. That's quite a way from
"zero". And I'd be very interested in seeing a reliable reporting on
infidelity.

In the general population it is about one in two, and amongst unmarried
couple who live together the break-up rate is hard to measure, but extremely
high.

Contraception means that it is feasible to have period of sexual promiscuity
before marriage. It is perfectly obvious that that will have an impact on
marriage.

Yes, it means you actually know what you're getting before you get into
it. Do you buy your cars sight unseen, without a test-drive?

Furthermore, it means it is possible to delay children within marriage. So
what happens is that some newly-married women work, that drives up the cost
of living, and soon all newly marraied women work. The some women spend five
or six years getting established in their careers, and so of course soon all
women have to spend five or six years getting established in their careers.

Then the children of divorce drive down standards in schools, which means

Sneechres and marital rape convictions:
1126361838.764032.231...@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com
As I said, the marriage agreement includes reasonable expectation of
sexual exchange. This is why John Bobbitt never did a day of time in
the slam for "marital rape" while his crazy wife ended up in a mental
facility.
"Marital rape" is a crime in all fifty states (since 1993), as is
prostitution. The difference is that no one is ever convicted of it.
She was then shown an article on a convicted marital rapist....
1126754651.184485.72...@g47g2000cwa.googlegroups.com
The reason there is only one marital rape
conviction in the entire country right now (from Nebraska no less,
where even consenting wives are considered rape victims) is because the
marriage vow "I promise to love you" doesn't mean "I promise to say I
love you".
She was then shown SEVERAL articles on several marital rape convictions.....
1126802761.173860.316...@g49g2000cwa.googlegroups.com
I wouldn't refer to anyone in that article except for the children as
"victims." Maybe to you, everyone is a victim, but a woman who
deliberately marries an abusive man and then lets him in the house is
not a victim.
1126850910.636846.121...@g14g2000cwa.googlegroups.com
In case you missed my subtle, unspoken point, it is that many women are
devious, backstabbing succubi; entrapment and false rape charges are
just two of their many sick games.
1126926843.336393.273...@f14g2000cwb.googlegroups.com

Rape is still not OK under any
circumstances.

Neither is falsely accusing your husband of raping you, and neither is
marrying a man and then refusing to put out.
1126982127.985900.178...@g44g2000cwa.googlegroups.com
SO when you deliberately take your clothes off for a rapist, it goes
against all common sense. A lot of things can be read into the action
by the courts and the rapists. You make yourself into a victim on
purpose.

I'd absolutely agree with them.
Humans are not psychologically adapted for a world in which there is
reliable contraception.
The pill is taking down our culture.

Amongst Catholics who didn't live together before marriage, and who don't
use contraception, the divorce rate is so low that it is effectively zero.


The Catholic divorce rate in the U.S. is 20%. That's quite a way from
"zero". And I'd be very interested in seeing a reliable reporting on
infidelity.

Malcom, will you pause for a second and observe how mind-bogglingly
arrogant it is for you to inform ME and the rest of human kind what
kind of world we are psychologically adapted for and what we are not
psychologically adapted for.

Amongst Catholics who didn't live together before marriage, and who don't
use contraception, the divorce rate is so low that it is effectively zero.
In the general population it is about one in two, and amongst unmarried
couple who live together the break-up rate is hard to measure, but extremely
high.
Contraception means that it is feasible to have period of sexual promiscuity
before marriage.

And you think it is your business to dictate to others what kind of sex
life they may choose to have or not have prior to marriage, if they
choose to marry? It is one thing to express a moral opinion about what
people SHOULD choose. It is quite another thing to agree with people
who want to affect people's choices on this matter by force of LAW.

It is perfectly obvious that that will have an impact on
marriage.
Furthermore, it means it is possible to delay children within marriage.

Whereas it is YOUR business to tell married people when they should
choose to have children or not have children?

So
what happens is that some newly-married women work, that drives up the cost
of living, and soon all newly marraied women work. The some women spend five
or six years getting established in their careers, and so of course soon all
women have to spend five or six years getting established in their careers.

And you think it is your business to tell newly married women whether
they should choose or not choose to work? Perhaps we should make them
stay home in the kitchen where they belong?

Then the children of divorce drive down standards in schools, which means
that children have to spend three years or more at university learning the
basic maths and English they weren't taught at school. So they start adult
life with huge debts, and can't have children, so they use even more
contraceptives.

Finally science itself becomes debased. That's just beginning to happen.

This is too incredibly stupid to bother commenting on.

Eventually the rot will feed through to the wider economy. American real
wages have stagnated since the 1960s. There was a bit of a blip a few years

Stageringly stupid conclusion.

So far those costs are largely hidden. However, if unchecked, they will
sweep away Western prosperity.

Argument for this?
This may take the cake as the single most arrogant post I have seen an
alt.atheism. So tell me would-be dictator. Who is your personal hero
of history? Hitler? Stalin? Pol Pot? Chairman Mao? They had
dictatorial control over the availability of birth control to their

The highest divorce rates almost always go hand in hand with no sex
before marriage
Breakup of non married relationships is a fact, it hurts, sometimes you
just wanna cry and cry and cry cause it hurts so much, but then, you
take your lows with your highs. Falling in love is one of those highs.
I couldn't pledge to love one woman forever, for I wouldn't know
whether I would change, or whether she would change. When love dies,
love dies. All I could do is pledge to care for, support, and be with
someone for as long as I love them. If that's for life, then it's a
bonus.

Sexual promiscuity (in the form of serial monogamy) strengthens
male-female relations. Jumping into marriage when you hardly know
someone weakens them, just look at the divorce rates of the US bible
