The same people who condemn abortion condemn birth control. They believe that sex itself, the bodily expression of love, is sinful– unless it is within the sacrament of marriage and unless each act of love is open to the possibility of conception.

If you’re not married and aiming at pregnancy, no sex: Abstinence is the way!

They want everyone– or at least every woman– to go back to the days when the only choice was between a life without physical love and one of forced pregnancies. The road map for the anti-choice movement is a memo by Samuel Alito advising these groups to push to have pills and IUD’s re-classified as abortifacents. And they are getting their way! In tax-supported clinics and hospitals, we’ve got doctors and nurses refusing to prescribe birth control or do medically necessary D&Cs. We’ve got Pharmacists for Life refusing to fill prescriptions, ‘morning after’ or standard pills.

The issue isn’t really abortion. It’s a campaign against feminism. They want to put women back into subservient roles. If they could take away our right to vote they’d do that too!
