Who is for banning all forms of birth control?

As the topic suggests, who is for banning all forms of BC? Such as condoms, BC pills, morning after pill etc etc.

 

Many people are for the banning of birth control, and the morning after pill. However, only a fool would be in favor banning condoms.

 

I think people should only have children when they deliberately choose to have children.

 

Ban none of it. Freedom of choice.

 

Yup.......free to choose.

The planet just passed the 7 billion population mark the other day...

A science site I looked at made a best guess of the planet being able to sustain 9 to 10 billion people.

It only took a decade to go from 6 to 7 billion.

Last thing we should be doing is removing options.

 

My sister uses birth control not because she's active but because it's treatment for her terrible periods. (lets hope she's not reading this ).

I don't have any problems with birth control. I'm all about if the baby has a mind. It doesn't before conception and for a little while after it (science has yet to pinpoint when).

 

Abstinence is unnatural, people are going to have sex whether they intend to procreate or not. It's a good thing that we have birth control.

 

Maybe we should ban sex? It would free up 10 minutes a week for most married couples, solve the whole abortion debate, increase the sales of Vaseline and batteries, eliminate stupid threads like these and save men time and money chasing after it.

 

Thank you for your "insight".

 

I think we should ban people only having ten minutes of sex a week. That can't be healthy.

 

Montoya, your question isn't specific enough, but I'm not surprised. You should have asked if people want to ban contraceptives on a national or a state level. Of course the concept of the separation between federal and state powers as defined by the 10th Ammendment is inscrutable to all liberals and many conservatives.

But would I like to see contraceptives banned in my home state of Idaho? As a Catholic, I oppose the use of contraceptives, but I just don't see the feasability of making that into a public policy. My guess is that you assume that conservatives would leap at the chance to draft draconian moral laws to bear upon society, but I think this is more about how liberals like yourself superimpose upon others the very statism that you're guilty of.

 

Who the heck would be in favor of banning birth control, anyway?

 

The Pope?............

 

Retards who can't get laid. People who hate sex. People who hate themselves. Prudes. Worthless things. Etc.

 

So you are an oppressive theocrat. Thanks.

 

There is no reason to ban it. If someone votes that everything should be banned, I think I'd be able to guess who that person/persons are. If something doesn't affect you, you have no right to expect it to be banned.
Birth control has been a godsend for so many people. Imagine if birth control was banned - how many unwanted pregnancies would there be?

 

And you're illiterate if you didn't get from my post that I wouldn't support any ban on contraceptives. The truth is you failed to advance your theory that conservatives are just bucking at the chance to impose religious law given the opportunity. Your intellectually dishonest caricature of conservatives has been debunked by this thread that you opened. You haven't found a single conservative that will validate your crap. You have been unmasked.

 

The American Life League, The Family Research Council, various Catholic groups, the Quiverfull movement, and lots more.

Catholic groups, in particular, have petitioned the administration. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, who is the chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Pro-Life Activities, wrote in a letter that “a distorted view of sexuality and a disdain for the role of religion … are exhibited by the Department of Health and Human Services’ recent decision on the ‘preventive services’ to be mandated in virtually all private health plans under the new health care law.”

Even though the federal health agency included a religious exemption in the decision, Catholic groups feel it is “too limited.” The Bishops also released a 35-page comment claiming that the decision violates the First Amendment’s religion clause, and they requested that the mandate be rescinded “in its entirety.”Catholic colleges, Catholic hospitals, Catholic physicians and other Catholic groups have been the main source of opposition to the decision. They believe that certain birth control methods included in the decision are abortion.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102005062

Those in the Quiverfull movement shun birth control, believing that God will give them the right number of children. It turns out, that's a lot of kids.

 

Unfortunately, many conservatives ARE just bucking at the chance to impose religious law on the whole country, and anyone who is in the least AWARE has to know that already. Theocrats like David Barton, for instance, have gotten coverage from main stream media, giving them an air of respectability.

As readers of The Public Eye know, dominionism—in its "softest" form the belief that "America is a Christian Nation," and that Christians need to re-assert control over political and cultural institutions—has been on the rise for a long time. Since The Public Eye first began writing about dominionism ten years ago, the movement, broadly defined, has gained considerable power. Recently however, the term has become fashionable with some lumping every form of evangelical Christianity and every faction in the Bush White House into one big, single-minded imperial dominionist plot. Dominionism is narrower and more profound than that. It is the driving ideology of the Christian Right.It comes in "hard" and "soft" varieties, with the "hard" or theocratic dominionists "a religious trend that arose in the 1970s as a series of small Christian movements that seek to establish a theocratic form of government,"

 

How about abortion when the mother's life isn't threatened?

 

Um, no. A few nuts does not conservatism make. You're no different than CNN trying to find one racist in the Tea Party rallies to paint the entire thing as racist. It's a distortion and you are just as intellectually dishonest as the OP for trying it.

 

Easy. The majority are the religious right and republicans, which is one of a dozen reasons I won't vote for a republican. Some will pretend not to but in the end they will.

Bee

 

Ah.......the ol' stereotyping and generalization game with a blanket declaration! LOL

Some on the left can be so judgmental and intolerant. Whats up with that?

 

its a personal decision of the parents, however it is a violation of the rights of the physician to be forced to perform one against his religion.

This is a moral private matter not the state.

Oh wait thats right everyone makes the state a 3rd party in their marriages now days, I forgot LOL

Myself my spouse and the state one big happy family! LOL

 

I could come up with a compelling argument for mandating birth control.
