I'm curious how many of you RWNs are both "HAHAHA slut" and "omfg Obama's birth control" at the same time, because #2 is a pretty good solution for #1.
abstinence is a better solution
No, it's not. Abstinence is 100% effective when it occurs, but it is far less likely to occur. We're battling hormones from millions of years of evolution that really, really want to procreate. Abstinence-only programs have always failed; just ask Bristol Palin.
We're not only talking about unmarried "sluts." We're also talking about "good christian" married couples that you're asking to not do the nasty. (Stuff in quotes is put into rudely pejorative terms that resonate with the mouth breathers on this issue.)
EDIT: Clarification... the article is about unmarried women, but the contraception issue I juxtapose over it concerns all types of couples.
Abstinence is a matter of human willpower, and therefor is 100% effective if people don't want to have kids. If abstinence fails, it means their willpower failed and they made an active decision to have children. It's win/win for people and society as a whole.
