Define objectified. I’m not sure being moved from sex toy to being a baby maker is especially liberating.
Explain how china is left by American standards. Following the communist manifesto china has failed. It is more along the lines of a capitalist militarized state. It lacks general social programs such as healthcare
Not sure how birth control makes women sex toys, albeit if it does make it a recreational activity, Many women actually do enjoy having sex from time to time.
As for playboy what could have been done? ban it. That turned out so well when alcohal was banned.
Marriage is not a creation of love it is a commitment. I hate to go against religion as I always have been agnostic so it’s hard for me to see religious views. Marriage was important not so much for liberation but for protection of children. By that same logic birth control prevents the need for marriage until love is in the picture versus lust and dopamine.
Aside from all of that I agree that a womens body is her own. so pro birth control from my moral POV.
Monetarily I especially support birth control as lower birthrates leads to better education, and general funding for children, which in turn helps children develope into better functioning adults able to presue their dreams.
Can you tell me where in the bible it forbids contraception? I can tell you where it forbids owning land on a permanent basis.Your catholic religion doesn’t seem to mind doing that.
And should a male want a child (or taking the historical example, a son)Innate dignity? -———————————————————————————please further explain why it is indignant for a women to want to have sex outside of cultural views and even in cultural views much of western culture doesn’t look down on having sex.-————————————————————————————
By money it is just as applicable to a prostitute. I believe that most human beings are innately friendly enough to treat others with feelings in a positive way. additionally at any time until menopause a woman is fertile. Is this to mean she should not be able to have sex until she is 51?
It is very possible to love somebody without marriage and even more so to care for eachother before even entering a relationship-————————————————————————————
And once more how does marriage effect why women should or should not influance marriage. The differance is that if the women is on birth control she is less likely to have to deal with being a singal parent
You keep sarcastically referring to Pelosi as an Icon of Objectivity. I’ll point out again, that is not her job. If anyone had the responsibility to be fair, it was Dan Issa. As a chairman of a committee, it is his job to make sure both sides get an opportunity to present witnesses. Issa denied that opportunity to the Democrats.-She not a college student, she is a law student. Many people enter the job market after getting their bachelors and then go to grad, med, or law school school a few years later. I am sure your education experience was a straight line, and you had your Ph.D. when you were 26. By the way, it is “college,” not “collage.”
Besides that fact that it’s idiotic, NOT natural and reasonable, to breed like rabbits untill you have more children than the family or the environment can sustain, your comments just prove that your religion is based on man-made rules. Aquinas? Is he your god now? You make the bible say things it doesn’t, yet totally ignore what it does say.And although republicans claim that they don’t want to ban birth control, those arguments ring hollow when accompanied by terms like slut, whore,liar, insignificant little tramp etc. Yeah, way to win the moderate female vote.
Yes, rush is vile. He has said vile things for many years. Of course free speech is guaranteed under the US Constitution, isn’t it. He seems to have gone well beyond free speech. I’m hoping Ms. Fluke will win a large settlement against rush, the drug abuser.
A classic example of using outrage and propoganda to make a group look good and another look bad. There are always two sides to every story. And from what I hear the two are like the pot and the kettle.
1- She got her BA from Cornell in 2003, when she was 22 (I know, party school for sluts). Most of you conservatives probably graduated from college at 16.
2-She spent 5 years working for Sanctuary for Families, helping victims of domestic violence ( just the kind of job you would expect a slut to get).
3-She worked on the Borough of Manhattan President’s Task Force on Domestic Violence (for those of you outside NYC, a borough president is equivalent to a county executive).
4-She is now a 3rd year law student at Georgetown (probably couldn’t get into Harvard because she spent all her time sleeping around, instead of studying for the LSATs).
Dear Eddie, you are a very cognitively distorted and emotionally disturbed man. Please do yourself and the Church a favor and commit yourself (or at the very least seek professional help) before you do yourself or someone else serious emotional and/or physical harm.
Dear Eddie, we can either have a government that provides for and promotes a creatively fee an open society for all or, as you suggest, a government that closely directs, monitors, and controls its society and citizens through any number of secular or theocratic totalitarian governments. For you Eddie I believe that you would welcome a direct or indirect theocratic totalitarian government that monitors and controls each citizen’s thoughts and actions and so destroy all free thought and creativity; the very heart of what American democracy has been all about; i.e. welcome a Theocratic Big Brother. No Thanks Eddie. So, just out curiosity, do you see your vision of a new theocratic American government more similar to one modeled after a today’s Russian, Chinese, or Iranian type government; or one of a past Spanish type government as ruled under the Spanish Inquisition or during Franco’s’ late great Spain?
I wish you would make up your mind. Is your morality based on the bible and Jesus, or on people like Thomas of Aquinas?I looked him up, by the way. It seems he had a mystical encounter with Jesus, after which he stopped writing and said“all that I have written seems like straw to me.”Is he a liar?
@THEREALDIOGENESYou had it going just fine (about Christianity) until that last sentence.Now please stop shouting (using all caps) as while I may be “old” in many people’s eyes, I am not deaf.Besides, be glad I’m not like my avatar. She’d have a very large thunderbolt slinging your way at that last remark about women.
The point is, if he is lying about his mystical encounter, then I don’t trust his teachings. If he is telling the truth, his teaching is “straw” and I also don’t trust it.Do you use Paul’s philosphy from before, or after his encounter on the road to Damascus?
Didn’t your church once insist that the Sun goes around the Earth, and try people for heresy if they said otherwise?If your church can’t tell the truth about things that are irrelevant to morality, but that can be readily discovered by the application of science, why should people trust the church about matters of faith and morality?

More than 750,000 women who take birth control pills have NEVER had sex. They take it purely for medical reasons. I guess they’re SLUTS also.

Facts about Sandra Fluke:
