Like your tag line BTW. What is the reasoning behind it? (I think I can guess).

To have the future be Western, you have to show up. Western civilization has decided not to show up.

I also love CB's tag line ...and it is very true (in that the Batman, while capable of great works, always stops before it is concluded ....and thus the criminals are taken to Arkham prison, and less than a month later they are out killing and making the whole of society a mad mess. Batman could stop the killing easily by killing the perps, or at least breaking every bone in their body. However he does not, and thus he is stuck in a never-ending battle where he cpatures the perps, takes them to prison, only to have those same criminals out killing innocent civilians in a short while. The Punisher, on the other hand, will simply blow the criminals to hell! End of story ....no revolving doors when it comes to the Punisher. Thus I love the tag line)

On the topic at hand, I have major trouble with the basic premise that contraception is tantamount to genocide. If the article had said abortion is tantamount to genocide that is one thing, but contraception is a whole other kettle of fish.

Calling contraception genocide is, to be honest, absolutely insane. Also someone mentioned that this is a pro-life website ....that it is, and thanfully. Being against abortion is being pro-life (which I am), but trying to wiggle being anti-contraception as being pro-life is one of the craziest things I have heard in quite some time. 100% loony.

I guess everytime a woman has a period, and every time a teen boy has a wetdream, then they are responsible for killing people. After all, that is an egg, and those are millions of sperm, that never had the chance to form a human life. Or what about the number of times people trying to have a child do not get one (even if you are 100% fertile, it is not as if every moment you have sex there is conception) ....or for that matter, if your wife gets pregnant and you continue having sex with her, doesn't that mean that the sperm that are exuded during intercourse after the conception 'wasted.'

Goodness! Anyways, I firmly believe that life begins at conception, but trying to sell the hock that contraception is GENOCIDE is just plain-party ludicrous. I've seen some arguments on this series that make some sense (e.g. how morality has been degraded over the decades), but contraception as genocide ...sell me another.
