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.

I also love the tag line, and have been thinking it would make a great article some time.

My point is not that every sperm and unfertilized egg is a potential person, but when a society decides to stop reproducing, it is committing suicide.

Here in the Western World, we have stopped having babies. For those of us in North America, that means you need a lot of illegals from Latin America to get the work done. Which as bad as it is, they are at least of similar cultures.

But Europe will not be Europe in a generation. They are importing mainly Muslims. The immigrants are having babies, the natives are not. Soon the native population will be old and the young blood will be the immigrants. In effect, the ethnic groups will go away. There won't be many English in England or French in France. They will go the way of the Celts or Basques. Some small communities will survive, but much of the race will be gone.

We have as a people chosen to abandon the future. We have stopped having babies, and opened the doors to others to come and take our place. So in that respect, we have committed a slow genocide against ourselves.
