That didn't occur in a public men's restroom, of course.
I don't know that fundies are all of a sudden trying to ban contraception because they are suddenly railing against sexual freedom and don't want women to have consequence-free sex. To be sure, this is what they want, but I think they just latched onto Obama's requirement that religious institutions provide insurance which covers contraceptives and have used it as a political football, primarily since this is an election year. They're so desperate to make Obama look bad that they're whining about him supposedly taking away their religious freedom by not allowing them to keep people from using contraceptives.
I think they have latched onto Obama's requirement but it has deeper roots. BTW here's what they are doing in Arizona http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/14...f=politics also this is a good link http://www.huffingtonpost.com/soraya-che..._ref=false
For a few decades some more radical fundies have been gravitating toward the "every sperm is sacred" idea. They claim it's a right to life issue but controlling sexual freedom for females has selfish benefit for the males (recall we are dealing with very sexist people here who have authority issues). I think everyone is familiar with the Duggars http://duggarfamily.com/ (gee, I wonder if the matriarch of that family has a dead fetus inside her will she have to carry it to term? Won't it be some sort of poetic justice if she dies from this?) I even knew people who chose not to use contraceptives for religious reasons, and they weren't Catholic.

It would muffle the sound a bit.
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
