It is the 40th year anniversary of Roe V. Wade. Many pro life people will be demonstrating in Washington DC today. Do these people realize that their daughters, nieces, and grandchildren will have sex one day? Do they really want women to depend upon the "rhythm method"?
I always get a kick out of mother's who put their daughters on birth control to clear up their acne problem. I don't care where you stand on the issue, but I do hope you realize that young women do have SEX. If your high school children are "going steady" those kids will eventually have sex, no matter what they tell you. You can't stop "young love".
Women need access to contraceptives no matter what insurance plan they have. Yes, I am pro-life. I am all for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I am also for a women's right to choose. We must continue to encourage young people to education and access to contraceptives. Raising children is the most difficult, time consuming job you will ever have.
I'm with you sister!
I just want to clarify this statement. How many pro-life people were in Washington DC yesterday for the March for Life to sadly commemorate the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade? a). thousands b). 200,000 c). more than 500,000 If you answered (a), you are listening to mainstream media. If you answered (b), you at least know some of the history of the largest human rights demonstration in the world. If you answered (c), you are correct. This is a human rights issue. Everyone will agree that abortion is taking a life. Do we value one life less such that we sacrifice it for the sake of the other? Our society has used abortion to solve socio-economic problems. We can go to the moon, we can surely come up with a better solution. However, contraception is the root cause of abortion, not the remedy. Every human life is intrinsically good. Contraception turns this around and says new life is bad, something to be protected against. Something bad needs to be fought against, presumably with abortion. The cycle continues. JR has it right -- we are made for so much more than self-gratification. Until the unitive and procreative aspects are brought together again, the march will go on.
2. Contraceptive companies tested their products out in third world countries and litterally wiped out villages of women in the process of "perfecting" the contraceptives. 3. Contraceptives are a carcinogen. A very toxic one with very severe consequences. 4. Contraceptives block pherimones that attract males to women. In studies men become confused when women do not give off these pherimones. You don't want to know what happens to men when they get confused. 5. Making love in a marriage is a sacrament. It is a unifying act of self giving to your spouse that is literally holy. 6. When the marital act of love is down graded to a sexual impulse that is out of control anybody and anyone can have sex together. Hmmm look at what has been happening in society men marrying men, women marrying women next fathers and daughters, people and animals. But even if all of that doesn't make you realize how misguided telling women they can do whatever they want no matter how it impacts themselves, society or God then you really don't understand the great value of women.
Why is there very little sediment on the sea floor? Why is soft tissue being found in fossils? Why is there very little salt in the sea! Why are they not finding fossils or skeletal remains of humans in the different "stages of evolution"? These are just some of the questions that scientists cannot answer. Evolution is a theory invented by a man who wanted to deny the existence of God, so he found a way to make it seem like the earth is so old.
- Actually the earth is about 4.5 Billion years old. Earliest life was pegged at around 3.5 Billion years ago - Plate tectonics (the sea floor is continuously being regenerated) - There is no soft tissue in fossils. There is soft tissue if comparatively contemporary bones. - There is a finite amount of salt to dissolve into the worlds water reserves. - Many many "missing links" have been discovered.

That being said; Mr. Tiger is an interesting fellow and you can watch him speak on a number of things here: http://bigthink.com/users/lioneltiger
As far as contraception being the root cause of abortion, that is just silly: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-204_162-57526550/study-free-birth-control-leads-to-way-fewer-abortions/
