This whole safe sex issue/abortion issue has been made out by the press to be a moral debate but has anyone actually noticed the money involved? Here's something to think about, Liberals keep screaming that schools need to teach safe sex, that abstinence isn't working, and that condoms need to be distributed in schools. Well, here's why I have a problem with it. Give me the logic that says a comporation should be allowed to use government employees to teach possible consumers how to use their product, advertise their product and in essence endorse the product. Even better, those condoms aren't free. The government takes tax payer money to buy them and then have its own people distribute them. Question, which brand do you think students are going to wind up using, here's a clue,what company made the free sample? Even better, according to Trojans, they have a success rate between 85% and 90%. Hello??? This is reported as fact, as if a major corporation with billions at stake wouldn't lie, even better, the failure rate is attributed to missuse by the consumer according to them. In other words, we always work, and when we fail, its your fault. Most experts put the failure rate at anywhere from 15% to 25%. Put this number in perspective. Playing russian roulette with a loaded gun gives you a 83% chance of survival, we don't tell our kids its okay to shoot each other, should we tell them its okay to sleep with each other? Of course there is the good old fail safe abortion. The only surgical procedure that minors may get in most state without parental consent. Now bear in mind that abortion is not free, either the consumer pays for it, or the tax payer. Even if an organization like planned parenthood claims that they don't recieve money per abortion, if the number of abortions that particular chapter had dropped dramatically, those people in that clinic would lose their jobs, reason, no demand, no need for the clinic, new allocation of resources. Here's the best part, how much money is there in abstinence? Zero dollars, no corporations, no tax dollars, no one trying to give you unnecessary surgery to keep their jobs. I don't know how much money abortion providers and the makers of condoms and such donate to the democratic party, but I'd bet my soul that its more they'd ever give to Jesse Helms or any other true conservative.
You've hit the nail on the head with that statement, Terriergal. Those without a compass are destined to become lost. Of course, it doesn't help that leftwingers in government, media, and acedemia spend so much time demonizing compasses.
Or, "Well, kids are going to smoke anyway, so we should introduce them to low tar, low nicotine cigarettes which take longer to give them cancer."
Hadn't heard that one before. I'm going to use it.
I like the phrase "Big Abortion" which I've noticed people using here lately. We need additional catchy phrases that will stick in people's minds.
A woman's right to kill.
Contraceptional-Abortional Complex.
"A woman's right to kill" is a good one. "Contraceptional-Abortional Complex" isn't. Feminists are always claiming that the pro life movement's real goal is to ban all contraceptives. Your slogan plays right into their hands.
I was thinking of contraception in the context of the original post on this page, which says,

Other Americans will not have this context in mind.
