From TINO again - The Pro-Life Case for Supporting Contraception. Finally, someone gets a freaking clue.

I wanted to say "two great tastes that almost taste great together", but then my brain kicked in and said I couldn't, unless it was in some kind of sarcastic self-referring fashion.

But I agree. It makes sense. The only way to extend a pro-life stance to being against contraception is to somehow claim that gametes constitute a form of life worth protecting, and that's untenable at best.

How the hell are you, anyway?

*snerk* I... just couldn't.

I have to agree that it's always seemed logical to me that a way to lower abortion rates was to make contraception cheaper.

And yet remarkably popular among some sections of the community. No, I'm not joking. See these guys for a prime example.

Heh, it's probably bad that I still get a giggle out of 'jim-bob'.

Good, actually. Working, daily life, etc. Not posting (obviously). Going to see your show tonight... :-)

Did you have a look at the recipes! My goodness - do these people eat anything that vaguely resembles FOOD? How many cans of cream of chicken soup can you casserole in a week? an example - Hash Brown Caserole. Start with several large packets of frozen hash browns - swamp in cream of chicken soup - back in oven. That's NOT food folks!

Oh - I forgot the garnish of buttered corn flakes!

With 14 kids they should be grateful they're not being raised on toast and spag bol. Cos that would be a serious risk were they mine...

Toast and spag bol has more nutrition that hash browns surely? And it would have to be cheaper that canned soup and frozen has browns. Teach the older kids to cook!

Hm, I'd have to go through the recipes. You'd think so, yeah. I guess my point was after 365 days of spag bol, they'd be grateful for hash browns... heh.
