Belle, I am sure that you will be offended, but what does this say about Women, that Birth Control ISN'T available in gum ball machines? Besides, it is so easy to get for free, yet so many unwed Births happen (to be fair, my Grand Daughter included) today. Must be a stupid lifestyle choice.
It really must be! There is no excuse for unwanted pregnancy today, none. The gravity of an unwanted pregnancy is well known by everyone. If someone gets pregnant by accident they are either lazy or very foolish. If you really can't afford to get pregnant there are plenty of ways to get off that don't involve vaginal sex. If you do want to have vaginal sex there are plenty of birth control methods out there to use. There is no excuse for abortion because their should be no unwanted pregnancies.
That's why many men fight this war on women, controlling someone else's body makes their balls feel bigger, I guess.
And as usual you guess wrong. It's their brains, their moral sense. And quit whining about controlling women's bodies. That ship has sailed. We control both men's and women's bodies all the time. This is not a special case. It's just plain ole standard stuff. Deal with it.
Yes, drug laws are an excellent example. This has nothing to do with gender. It has everything to do with the appropriate place to draw moral and policy lines. People who try to claim that sexism or a desire for some sort of control or dominance is involved here are either: a) stupid or b) intellectually dishonest and seek to avoid the work involved in trying to justify their position. It's a cop out.
