I reject the notion that stopping the use of contraception creates alienation, and hardly seems irrelevant since it has direct links to abortion. Prior to the advent of contraception, the focus was on responsibility to family and life had more value. After the invention we see a slippery slope that took us to concepts of "free sex" on down until life has been devalued to the point where I am not sure we as a nation can get it back.

I suppose you think that if contraception isn't used then people won't be able to have sex without consequences and that for many is unacceptable . Well, I support natural family planning, and have found that people can still have sex without fear of an unwanted pregnancy if they are aware of how their bodies function and can read the signs of when they are fertile or not. They may have to abstain for 1 or 2 days out of the month, but if a person can't abstain for that small amount of time then they have serious problems. Contraception is wrong and immoral, and I will continue to voice my concerns against it.

I hate abortion and homosexuality as much as any here and oppose it whenever the opportunity presents itself, but I have to say that until conservatives can defend and promote eroticism, as eroticism, (and I'm certainly not talking about dirty magazines, addled teenagers looking to score, or pecker heads and floozies shacking up together) as an inherently good thing outside of making babies, until the bonding and intimacy from such eroticism referred to earlier is looked upon as an inherently good thing, promoted, defended, and asserted as a primary motivating cause for the conservative frame of mind and world view, the Left is going to continue to command the field in the ideological conflict.

Contraceptives are a good thing in the hands of responsible people. In the hands of nutcases, libertines, and the lunatic lifestyle left, contraception fuses ideologically with abortion. This is a deliberate deception, but until conservatives can properly address sexuality as A Reason to Go On Living and Why This Is So, people will continue to be perceive the siren song of countercultural madness as the only valid view of sexuality, not being able to ultimately see the difference between abortion and the pill.

I suppose you think ......

Don't suppose anything. If I wanted to say what you suppose I would say, I would have said it. Read what I said. I don't have the patience to deal with this tonight.
