Rush talks like he doesn't understand the issues (and perhaps he doesn't). It's a war on women's freedoms , rights, their position in society, on so many things.
I think it's funny how the women's movement has changed over the decades. In my generation it was a freedom from male domination. a fight for civil rights. Now that this has been (mostly) accomplished it now about pushing to be free to be human females (I can't think of a better way to describe this). For a long time it's been ok, perhaps even a thing of pride for men to be sexually active. Now women want this freedom. They wear short skirts and low cut blouses with confidence, as if to say "yeah I have sex, what's it to you?" It's like a taunt at traditional values, at the burka, and other limiting things.
If this is true then do you think the fundamentalists and conservatives are trying to curb this by limiting birth control? I.e. increase the danger of pregnancy and it'll keep these little women (please note the sarcasm with which I use this term) under control. That'll make them stop having multiple partners. It will lengthen their skirts, and make them cover up their chests. So much of what these people do is a reaction to changing times, I think the new war on birth control is fueled by this.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
