There’ll be a study to test this hypothesis, right?

…Right?

(Also, ElizabethTX, my flippancy is not meant to offend. And I’m sorry for your loss.)

(If you were a theoretical physicist and didn’t insist on mucking around physically with uranium and plutonium, lifespans were pretty good.)

Santelli is being disingenuous. It’s true that condom failure rate is about 2% with perfect use (wrt unwanted pregnancy), but with typical use it’s closer to 15-20%.

So to my mind, “Every Sperm Is Sacred” is an unintentional verification of the fact that the Catholic “theology of the body” is much more romantic and sexually fulfilling than a contracepted culture. (We should start a campaign to refer to Natural Family Planning as “the H&C method,” for Honeymoon and Courtship, since that’s the real rhythm in the “rhythm method”…)

Like the part where the baby shoots out from under her skirt like a heimlich-propelled martini olive?

Yeeeesh.

You know, I always thought the CofE coda was a slam on stodgy old British people who happen to be married Protestants. But far be it from me to contradict a traditional-conservative read of a work of satire!

It’s true, as a chemE major it was stressful to memorize reactions.

As long as you follow safety guidelines you’ll be fine; one caveat that I know of is that you should avoid pretty much any dangerous vaporous hydrocarbons while pregnant even with safety gear for the kid’s sake.

There is nothing dangerous about doing your share of the groupwork in all the data analysis and writing.

Actually, I think their argument is that condoms break and therefore they lead to more abortion, as the use of the condom suggests people were having sex when they didn’t want children. They follow that up with the argument that no one should ever have sex unless they want babies. That’s the gist of Eve Tushnet’s take.

People who use condoms are less likely to have children. Therefore the Republicans are oppossed to condoms.

This is a federally funded program. Your tax dollars are paying for outright lies about serious health issues for teenagers. The next time some conservative accuses liberals of wanting Big Brother, point them to this article. Regulating the sex lives of people is apparently a conservative principle.
