They have declared the War on Contraception

[PCIntern]

which has been coming for a long long time. They are going "All in" but MAKE NO MISTAKE: they will wage this war over GENERATIONS. Don't kid yourselves for a minute: their patience is much greater than ours and they know that their task is difficult but 'sanctioned' the the Lord God Himself. They are TERMINATORS: they WILL NOT STOP until their task is finished. They are driven, compelled, and without doubt in their quest.

As I pointed out YEARS AGO in this forum, and then again recently, this has been their mission FROM THE BEGINNING of the so-called Pro-life/Pro-choice 'debate' For them it is not a debate: it is life and death. Do not doubt their ferocity and their dedication to their 'cause'. If we would defeat them, we would have to watch that red light in the eyes go out completely.

1. I have known since roe that this was their ultimate aim, only they were somewhat less obvious

back then. but I have been keeping close watch on the fanatics of the reichwing, and it is not surprising to me that they have finally, blatantly come out in the open about their true airms.

years ago, I remember that there was a woman (in SF, I think) who did an art exhibit with condoms. she was roundly booed, and there were protests and demands that her art be withdrawn because "she was killing babies" by using condoms as an artistic centerpiece.

2. Makes me wonder how they kill what they avoid making.

4. because that is what they are designed to do--honestly, that was their explanation

[PCIntern]

3. I had a set-to with George Will at a Q and A years ago

and I mean maybe 28-29 years ago, over this

6. that must have been interesting indeed. you have more fortitude than I--my patience with these

people and their woman-hating stupidity was gone many years ago.

did georgie have anything at all useful to say (not that he ever does, unless he is talking baseball, from what I hear)

[PCIntern]

7. To shorten the story:

I stated that I had heard that the 'real' war was against contraception.

He stated that I "didn't have to worry about that now".

I stated that " I'm not stupid and neither are any of these other people in this room."

He ignored me and went to the next questioner...

8. not surprising about dear old georgie--it seems like he hates being challenged

5. overreach big time overreach

if they want to fight their beloved culture war on the contraception battlefield wel all I can say is "bring it on" as their one time hero so famously said. I even know some "pro-life" church ladies they'll lose on this one.

10. I agree.

This is a loser for them. I don't know a lot of people who are against choice, but the ones I do know have the same feeling about it: "There's no need for abortion unless it rape or the pregnancy is dangerous. If women are too stupid or lazy to use birth control, then it's their own fault they got pregnant!"

The general population is NOT against birth control ... only the extremists are.

9. Let's hope Big Pharma will fight back

on this issue.

11. they won't be happy until god is elected president and the apostles are on the supreme court

[mmonk]

12. Will it work like the war on drugs?
