How the hell could anyone vote yes? I can at least understand if someone is against abortions, but birth control?! Sex is definitely not for just producing children. Extremists from both sides need psychiatric help.

That Catholic Church position has become the de facto position for all Pro Life people and they say birth control is sinful. In the 1960s Conservatives feared JFK would be the Pope's puppet, today Conservatives allow the Catholic Church more control over the US govt than it has in Ireland.

Yeah, I have heard that...but I just don't understand why. I've never been religious, so I don't see the logic in it. Is sex supposed to be some dirty act if it isn't for the sole purpose of reproducing?

The Catholic church doesn’t believe in contraceptives.

If Catholics need psychiatric help, then you live in the wrong country. Because this one loves their Jesus and you would have better luck watching life fly before folks drop Jesus.

I wouldnt be surprised if we saw scarlet letters making a come back too.


We will just have to wait and see if citizens TOLERATE this or not, I will say though, if we see a lot of compliance and obedience with these new changes, it speaks loudly about public opinion today!


Rosa Parks said "Its a citizens duty to break unjust laws".
Was that before or after she was a fetus?

And you want to decide what the result is. Oops.

All these decades later I can still remember the exact melody of the Preamble song. Hell I still use it to remember the Preamble. Even with the alphabet I find my mind still works musically with it. Some things just tend to stick.

I'm Just a Bill I'm only a Bill, Sitting here on Capital Hill


Through the miracle of Youtube, we still have them all:
edit: but the point is only nostalgia for some, the real point is to teach the next generation why its still the best system of govt we've found so far... You'd be flabbergasted how many young people think 'we should give Communism another try... Compassion Good and Capitalism Bad"
