Why does the anti-choice crowd also oppose contraception?
It's because culture has really slow reflexes.
For tens of thousands of years, societies which didn't maximize fertility died out and were replaced by those that did. Abortion, contraception, education regarding sexuality and biology threaten maximized fertility and so are opposed by cultures which thrived. Unfortunately, like trying to turn the Titanic to miss the iceberg, we appear to be unable to realign our thinking in time to avoid overpopulation, ecological destruction, resource depletion (now that we've beaten death down (but not out, he'll be back)). It's a rate equation: pop growth rate = birthrate - death rate. Eventually, it has to equal zero. Too bad folks like AT are so cheerful about taking all the rest of us over the cliff with them.
After Citizens United and now Hobby Lobby, corporations are being given more and more rights as persons. Does this mean that a corporate raider that takes over a company and breaks it up for its components, killing, it is committing murder?
