Birth Control is Unacceptable in Missouri

Sex is natural and a lot of fun…so we need to do something about that.    

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – An attempt to resume state spending on birth control got shot down Wednesday by House members who argued it would have amounted to an endorsement of promiscuous lifestyles.

“State taxpayers should not be required to subsidize activities they believe are immoral or unethical, relating to contraceptives or abortions,” said Larry Weber, executive director of the state Catholic Conference.

“If you hand out contraception to single women, we’re saying promiscuity is OK as a state, and I am not in support of that,” Phillips, R-Kansas City, said in an interview.

Others, including some lawmakers who described themselves as “pro-life,” said it was illogical for anti-abortion lawmakers to deny money for contraception to low-income people who use public health clinics.

So South Dakota got the ball rolling, and now the hard-core anti-sex contingent in America is in full battle dress, ready to shame their people into finally buying in to the concept that ‘Hormones Are Evil’!  Indeed, all this talk about abortion has really been about something else for a lot of people.  A fear of sex, whether it’s prostitution, STDs or even the notion of explaining to a 6th grader the differences between men and women, and how babies are made…the underlying theme is a demonizing of sex itself, a sign of the very real problem in America today, where adults don’t want their children to know about certain things, in hopes that merely saying ‘Don’t’ will keep them safe. 

Lazy adults, wound too tight, mostly married and decades past a time when each of them experienced hormonal urges that could (and in some cases did) convince them to stick it in one of the farm animals.  I once tried to make love to a water jet in a pool…that kid doing it with the pie…it’s an innocent period in our lives, complicated by ferocious chemicals clouding our judgement, 100% natural, grade A humanity. 

These older folks have forgotten about all that.  In fact, a couple more layers of this onion coming off might very well show all of us that they honestly believe that the hormones represent Satan.  And it’s not ‘natural’ to be horny as hell when you’re young…(cowards!)

So here’s how I read this: “If you live in Missouri and have sex for any other reason than to produce a child, you’re a bad person.” I disagree, and happen to also think that it’s this type of regressive thinking that creates priests who mollest children, girls who get pregnant before they graduate high school and gay men or women who get married, only to destroy their family when one day they decide that they can no longer handle living a lie.  It’s this type of negativity that leads to the foolish suppression of those natural hormones turning into a mental problem, not only for the person, but also those around them. 

Aside from all that, it’s extremely anti-woman!  As she’s the one who has to carry a child, give birth and then ‘hope’ that the boy lives up to his end of the responsibility for raising it.  So while I was able to get free condoms at Planned Parenthood, my doctor’s office AND at every Army medical facility I ever steped foot in…a kid growing up in Missouri won’t.
