I have a problem with outlawing birth control pills entirely.

As another posted stated, some are morally opposed to alcohol and Playboy. I applaud their choice not to sell them, or carry them in their store. But I do not want to see the government outlaw them.

Birth control pills cause a murder, as you state in #290. Alcohol doesn't kill anyone directly unless you drown in a vat at a brewery or drink an entire fifth yourself in one sitting. As to Playboy, the opposition is not to publishing a men's magazine, but to the exploitation and hyper-sexualization and objectification of women through nude photographic publishing. No one would care much abotu Playboy if they had no nude pictures. Of course, few people would "read" it either.

But why is it okay for you to legislate your morality but not okay for someone you don't agree with to legislate theirs?
