Wonder what the position is on representative republic.
Excellent post. However, I think there’s an obvious connection between the civic virtue you’re discussing and the personal virtue mentioned by the author. One way in which a man demonstrates his responsibility is by not fathering children whom he is not intending to rear. This means he doesn’t have sex outside marriage. No means of contraception is guaranteed effective, and therefore *only* continence, except in marriage, prevents the development of the unsupported mothers and children who are such a powerful negative force on our republic.
At the source there was a link to email the editor — Jeff Mirus. I’m sure he would appreciate your input.
Good post, and good discussion, thanks.
