Let me finish the thought I begin in Post #351.

Modern contraceptives make, or will soon make, the debate about abortion moot. It is, or will soon be, a red herring.

The debate is really about sexual license. Remove unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases from the arena and resistance to license collapses - and with it the whole religious structure built on that resistance.

Where does that leave us? Where are we headed? Who knows? Sodom and Gommorah? Babel? Perhaps. But we only know those places through the eyes of the Israelites. I might have thought them to be delightfully civilized and the Israelites primitive, destructive savages.

But look what happened to them? Well, look what happened to the Israelites.

And would you argue that sexual license is a good thing. That children hopping around from bed to bed prepares them for a life of hard decisions, set backs, and sacrifice. Like many I know they will grow up to become adolescants for the rest of their life. What progress we as a society have made.

A yes, but they have the right to be kids for the rest of their life or pigs.
