Here's the direct link.
I've only just begun following the arguments myself, but I think it's interesting that the anti-MYOB crowd ends up spinning itself into the ground with all their tortured logic about why gay marriage (just for one example) is bad for society.
As another example, the Holy Terrors traditionally claim that while they're vehemently opposed to abortion, they have no objection to contraception per se. As long as you don't discuss it in the schools. Right?
Not so fast there, hombre.
Here's a Salon article. Sit through a brief ad for a free daypass.
Opposition to the "morning after" pill is especially interesting. It's labeled as a form of abortion, but the pill is really a concentrated dose of your standard birth control pill. Since it takes anywhere from 8 to 24 hours for sperm to reach an egg and fertilize it, the "morning after" pill heads them little swimmers off at the pass. The pill prevents conception, it doesn't induce an abortion.
So the pill's a contraceptive. Get it? So why do the Holy Terrors oppose it?
Because they oppose contraception. Nobody will say it out loud, but essentially as far as the Holy Terrors are concerned, life begins when her bra strap is unhooked.
