Birth Control

I was just wondering what exactly those who oppose birth control would like to see happen. Maybe every woman should just keep on poping out kids until she is 50. Or maybe we should expand the abstinence programs for teens to include everyboby. Yeah, I think people should just stop having sex altogether. That would solve the problem of birth control, STDs etc. Divorce rate might hit the roof though(cos everyone would be grumpy and all), but hey who wants to be married if you can't have sex anyway. All that work and no reward:-).
OH I get it we just use the calender method if you are married. Now I get it, we can basically "do it" a couple of days a month (still no garantee you won't end with 10 kids you can't afford) and then pray to God(cos only he can help you) that your spouse does not "by mistake" (cos it's never intentional of course; you love each other) sleep with some else..(usually the case in African countries)
Don't get me wrong I am all for religion, but unless we overnight turn into the late Pope or Mother Theresa, then the no condom, no birth control theory is just unrealistic. I know most people in America would see this as common sense and this post as pointless but there is a trend to move backwards and forget what things used to be like.

Very strong opinions but I agree!

I have to agree, too. I'm glad we have more means of birth control other than the condom. As for using common sense regarding sex, well . . .

Those opposed to birth control are usually religious and they make the argument that people shouldn't have sex out of marriage. If they do and they become pregnant that is the punishment they deserve, handed down by God.

Some religions make the argument that even married people should only have sex to reproduce. If you don't want children then don't have sex.

Obviously religions adopt very strange ideas and they live with them because they believe that God gave them these rules.

LOL! But, sadly, 100% true...
