Some people yearn for good old days of Franco’s Spain or DeVelera’s Ireland. Impose Catholic dogma, Protestants are all probably Free Masons anyway so they do not count.(sarc) In all seriousness, the use or non-use of oral contraceptives, like birth control pills, is not a pillar of Conservative bonafides. Catholics are against it, most Protestants are not. Abortion is that line, not contraception itself.
And some people just don’t like Catholics, the merits of the issue be damned. Denounce a Catholic and it makes ya feel better.
If you actually stopped and thought about this, you might notice mountains of evidence that separating procreation from sex has led to every single social pathology that plagues us.
Read Mary Eberstadt, Adam and Eve after the Pill.
Increase in cohabitation outside marriage, which leads to mored ivorce, which leads to more fatherlessness
homosexual actvism (if sex is not about procreation, then why is it wrong for two men to masturbate each other?
a pornographic, selfish mentality about sex (which leads to relationships eventually breaking down), esp. by men toward women
and the list goes on and on.
Oh, and, by the way, lots more abortions.
Because, you see, easy contraception means that the sheer amount of sex acts going on increases immensely. And much of the increase is happening outside of marriage, including “hooking up” casually.
But no, it’s just a Catholic lunacy to be concerned about the affect of a contraceptive attitude on human sexuality. /s
