But the thing the capitalist newspapers call birth control is not control at all. It is the idea that people should be, in one respect, completely and utterly uncontrolled, so long as they can evade everything in the function that is positive and creative, and intelligent and worthy of a free man. It is a name given to a succession of different expedients, (the one that was used last is always described as having been dreadfully dangerous) by which it is possible to filch the pleasure belonging to a natural process while violently and unnaturally thwarting the process itself. Pure rubbish. Birth control doesn't violate any right, and it isn't violent, in any sense of the word.
If my girl and I want to have sex a thousand, or a million times and use birth control to limit the size of our family to a few children, or even none, who have we harmed? Whose rights have been violated? The unconceived???
Let me take a wild guess - you'd like birth control to be illegal?
I am not surprised to find you in disagreement, but rubbish doesn't come to mind when I read Chesterton.
And, I don't play the libertarian game of "I bet you want it to be illegal?" I prefer gentle persuasion through logic in the arena of ideas, which is why I post at FR.
