A Hard Pill To Swallow

I thought I was kidding when I posted this earlier in the year. But a tip from DairyStateMom makes me think I was closer to the truth than I thought.

She points out to me to feministing.com, which tells of a new campaign to be launched this June 7th by the American Life League, along with Pro-Life Wisconsin and Pharmacists for Life International Associate groups. This campaign is not to just ban Plan B, but to ban all birth control medication.

They apparently believe that preventing a child is the same as killing the child. Next they will be going after condoms.

And it's not just for single people either. They don't want married people to have the option of how many kids they want or can support, or if they want to have some space between children. Nope, you gotta keep popping 'em out.

Among some of their favorite targets is also Planned Parenthood. Can't have any of that educating going on now, can we?

But if the goals of total control of your life by these people gets you upset, Cristina Page shows us a happier way to look at it:
And before you despair that your right to privacy is being lost, take comfort in the knowledge that once we all finally live in a country where ideology is valued over evidence and our government is run by and for those who subscribe, or succumb, to the exciting agenda of these groups...privacy will no longer be needed. Your point of view and way of life will, conveniently, be decided for you. So what are you waiting for?! Sign up now!

On a side note, I think the Perfessor would approve of this group, or at least feel some simpatico for them.
