A ban on contraception similar to the ban on recreational drugs will probably have the same effect as the ban on drugs: reduce the use, create another massive law enforcement boondoggle and be viewed as another step toward a police state.

However, the present state of affairs is intolerable, when contraception is promoted on television, sold alongside milk and eggs in supermarkets, or offered like medicine by “doctors”. What is needed is a campaign similar to one against tobacco, when advertising is countered and regulated, sales restricted, and promotional activities of the pharmaceutical companies probed.

I don’t think any of that will be possible until the economic crisis is compounded by a demographic crisis. Hopefully by the time that one strikes there will be enough of America left.

The "demographic crisis" is as phony as the New Ice Age, er, Global Warming, er Watch This Space crisis.
