It's not being "anti-natalist" to want babies to be born as a result of planned and wanted pregnancies, to parents who are prepared for those children. In fact, it's the exact opposite. I want babies to be born in as optimal situations as possible. To appease your make-believe world, you're willing to turn a blind eye to the simple thing society can do to help ensure that reality as much as humanly possible.
That's called, to use the hoary old term, "sexual morality" (otherwise known as the "law of chastity" in the Church). That's the very simple, and very effective answer to most unwanted pregnancies in contemporary society.
Really, I hope people like droopy are in a tiny minority. Otherwise, we are doomed.
We were doomed after 1968. Perhaps we were ultimately doomed after your socialist and eugenicist sister Margaret Sanger placed the cornerstone to the edifice that would eventually become modern second and third wave feminism.
LOL. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Cuz, you know, before 1968 there were no unplanned pregnancies. Only a lot of weddings that included a shotgun and preemies.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Miss Fluke has publicly claimed that, typically, female law school students at Georgetown need some $3,000 of contraceptives per year. At an average cost of between $20 and $30 per month (Target sells it for as low as $9.00) either Miss Fluke has her phone number plastered across every bathroom stall on campus, or she's an unhinged and monstrously diseducated demagogue with an agenda.
1. She may very well be. If she's using $1,000 in "contraceptives" per year, its a fair assumption, although it could possibly be incorrect.
2. The statement that she's "an unhinged and monstrously diseducated demagogue with an agenda" can be easily substantiated by watching her speech at the DNC.

Before 1968, the Left was in abeyance, and only in a gestational mode since the "red decade" of the 30s. Then it launched its decisive assault on western civilization, from which western civilization has never - and will never, before the "great and terrible day" - recover.
You're side has won, Beastie. You're in the great and spacious building and, even though its well past 1999, you can still party like its New Year's ever of 1998.

Why are you approaching him as if he were someone who could possibly admit being wrong, or reasonable enough to change his mind? His preferred prophets of information are the dimwits on talk radio. Nothing you can say will dissuade him. Ever.
This is the same guy who thinks Egyptologists - sans two or three Mormon "experts" - don't know enough about the subject to speak informatively on the Book of Abraham.

Oh, I'm just playing with him. I don't seriously expect a reasonable answer or thought from him. I've been very entertained watching him and bcspace have temper tantrums and predict the end of the world since Nov. 6. I guess it's my "pay-back" for having to endure all the Romney junk-mail and ads during the election.

Payroll taxes are federal taxes, Ilsa. I never claimed to have paid "income" taxes, and if I did manage to say that somewhere, it was an oversight on my part.

Free BC would SAVE taxpayers money.
so would abstinence...in fact abstinence would save MORE money so, what was your point?
Except that then there is no sex except to have a litter. That's just stupid.
when believers want to give their claims more weight, they dress these claims up in scientific terms. When believers want to belittle atheism or secular humanism, they call it a "religion". -Beastie
