I've maintained all along that the whole abortion/birth control thing is about trying to prevent non-reproductive sex. It's mostly people who find sex dirty and repugnant that are into this sort of legislation. OR the ones who want you to go to Hell if you have non-reproductive sex, and they're not so well-balanced either.
Well, that's certainly been the Catholic rationale all along. The Church has long been very invested in who is allowed to have sex with whom, and when, and how, and why. And for all sorts of non-religious reasons, that's what's so crazy about it. Almost all of their crazy no-sex rules come from back in the Middle Ages when men wanted to be sure their kids were really theirs.
