e hated the anti-abortion zealots because we thought they tried to take away women's freedom; what we didn't understand is that women's freedom had already been taken, when society bought the lie that sex is primarily about bonding and pleasure, and that its life-giving potential is tangential and optional.

Perfectly stated!

that a woman using contraception with a 1 percent risk of failure has a 70 percent chance of experiencing an unwanted pregnancy over the course of 10 years. Guttmacher also reports that more than half of women seeking abortions were using a contraceptive method when they got pregnant.

Worth repeating

Well-stated.

My dad said his dad gave him one line’s worth of sex ed: If she’s good enough to sleep with she’s good enough to marry.

My dad married his high school sweetheart and (so far) has had 58 years of married life and 12 children with her. I don’t think it even occurred to him to separate sex, marriage, and having children. They were all one package, and so far the same has held true for all his children and grandchildren. He’s in a nursing home and can hardly think of his family without crying for joy at how blessed he’s been. When my Mom has to leave him there to go back home they kiss like they were still high school sweethearts; it tears her apart to not have him home.

That’s not the cheap stuff people fling around every day. That’s the real gold. I pray there will still be people with that kind of love, commitment, and understanding of God’s plan for my children to spend a life with.

Conditions under which it is acceptable to have sex:
• If you’re in a stable relationship
• If you feel emotionally ready
• If you’re free of sexually transmitted diseases
• If you have access to contraception

She’s cleaned this up a lot, unless “stable relationship” means “I know his name” and “emotionally ready” means “dead drunk.”
