And you told yourself they'd stop at abortion



But of course they won't. Now we have this nonsense from a group of people determined to return to forced pregnancy, The Pill Kills:
June 7 marks the 43rd anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision Griswold v. Connecticut. This was the first of many decisions that led to the culture of death we live in today.

On that day in 1965, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the Griswold v. Connecticut case, it set a legal precedent for claiming that the Constitution grants women the right to privacy in matters of sexual practice. This meant that Connecticut and the rest of the United States could not stop a married woman from obtaining birth control pills. However, as Judge Andrew Napolitano has pointed out, the constitutional right to privacy has nothing to do with birth control.

I'm probably one of the youngest people who remember what it's like to walk in on Mom with a tear-stained face and a forced smile as she announced that I was to have yet another younger sibling. It's not something one forgets.

Anyhow, for an explanation as to why neither the pill nor the morning after pill kill anything, I recommend one of everyone's favorite scientists, PZ Myers.
