Is there any religion that isn't obsessed with what other people do with their genitalia? It seems as if a lot of religious people expend a lot of energy being concerned that the consensual sex between adults be of the proper type between married individuals.
A few years back conservatives were up in arms about a book about two mommas(or daddies). They didn't think that children should be exposed to 'sex'. Telling little children that two men might love one another and get married shouldn't be more likely to include a discussion about sex than telling them that a man is going to marry a woman.
I have asked people who are against abortions why they don't ask the government to supply free birth control to men and women. The response is that they don't feel that they should be forced to pay for someone else's sexual choices. But if they want to save fetuses, it would make sense to prevent pregnancies in the first place. That is why I think that the abortion discussion is ultimately about sexual freedom and not about saving the lives of brainless mass of cells. Ultimately, they want women to feel afraid to have premarital sex.
