So what happened between now and since primates first appeared on Earth? 
Primates didn't use toothbrushes or treat infections, either. Using even the 19th century as a measurement of what is "medically necessary" is retarded.

Abstinence works though. You can't argue that. No sex, no babies or STDs.

Christians can damn well buy their own contraceptives.

Well, the culturally obsolete have finally weighed in. Phew.
EDIT: And wouldn't true christians "take up the cross" and vote to bear the load of the poorest citizens in any case? Wouldn't getting ripped off by freeloaders every once and a while be "turning the other cheek?" Or did jesus preach that you should make sure to hoard your wealth (if you've earned it) and make sure to never give things to the poor because they might be the fake poor? No? He didn't? Weird, with the way these cold hearted "christian" bastards act you would think he said that sh*t repeatedly. Jesus was characterized by a naive faith in people and most overwhelmingly by charity. start acting like it christians, or admit you don't have the balls to follow in the footsteps of christ.

I like the idea that people who have a certain value actually behave in line with that value. I don't have to agree with it, though.

Aerlinthina should go back to living in conditions as when primates first appeared on earth.
B_T likes to claim how good the 1800's are. That's two less voices of idiocy on the internet at least.

Opinion = fact. Anecdote = proof. Political label more important than either of those.
Welcome to ACF, where debate goes to die.

I do to, but that's as far as it goes. I respect when someone is following their convictions, but that has little and less to do with my reaction to it. I won't go around saying they are doing it OUT of mean-ness, but the resulting actions and the following ripple effect is all that matters. And in this case, it only makes the world worse and less safe to be in.
Telling people: "you have sex, you deal with the result," seems fair until you are the EMT wrist deep in the blood of someone who has an STI because christians think that they should have a harder time getting contraception. My kid had complications during his moms pregnancy, could you tell my son, crippled from some easily avoidable condition that the christians who shut down planned parenthood had their hearts in the right place? It's the 21st friggin century. Hearts being in the right place isn't enough when our minds are still in the dark ages
