Condoms for the women! This is the cry of the liberal dissenters today. I understand the sentiment. These women, through no sin of their own, are contracting a deadly, horrible virus. However, the solution being proposed here is truly evil. Continue (encourage, even) women thinking of themselves as sex objects, devoid of intrinsic value. Who are these women to expect or demand fidelity from their husbands?

Why not make every attempt to educate a lesson in chastity? Forget about the condoms. The sick, sinful culture (every married man has many lovers) of these people has brought this scourge upon them. The liberals say let's not treat the source of the illness, let's encourage one of the symptoms.

Now take poor Carlos, for instance. How are condoms going to help him? He is, first of all, unmarried. He should not be having relations with anyone. Second of all, he is sick. He should not be having relations with anyone, whether he is married or not.

It's like the argument a certain FR poster makes on these types of threads. He says that the Church needs to let women in Africa use condoms so that when their HIV-contracting husbands (either through adultery or homosexual buggering) rape them, they'll be protecting. Why isn't the focus on the buggering rapist husband?
