Women’s long life linked to children – lots of them
http://www.smh.com.au/national/womens-long-life-linked-to-children–lots-of-them-20120412-1wwwl.html#ixzz1sLn9KhPe
“Compared with women who had no children, those with two had a 17 per cent decreased risk of death. For women with three children there was a 20 per cent decreased risk, and this pattern largely continued with additional children.”

While waiting for my pizzas to be ready at the restaurant, a man was making chitchat and when I told him I had five kids, he said “You were blessed FIVE times!” He went on to say that he married between his second and third year of university, and they had a baby daughter at that time. Then there never seemed to be a good time to have another one. Graduate school, career getting started, then his child became a teenager and his wife went to work. He told me he regrets not having more children. I didn’t want to look too closely, but his eyes looked watery. He told me he would have liked to have had eight children. He is blessed with one grandchild.

‘What is the big deal about Catholics using birth control?’

Time To Admit It: The Church Has Always Been Right On Birth Control
http://www.businessinsider.com/time-to-admit-it-the-church-has-always-been-right-on-birth-control-2012-2#ixzz1oXJje69L
“Today’s injunctions against birth control were re-affirmed in a 1968 document by Pope Paul VI called Humanae Vitae. He warned of four results if the widespread use of contraceptives was accepted:
1. General lowering of moral standards
2. A rise in infidelity, and illegitimacy
3. The reduction of women to objects used to satisfy men.
4. Government coercion in reproductive matters.”

Newt owns David Gregory on contraception debate

The Obama administration’s healthcare agenda is so clear. First they arrange for insurance companies to fund contraception (and government funds the insurance companies) and everybody knows that the liberal definition of contraception includes all women’s reproductive rights including abortion. And the government provides free extensive prenatal testing which would become forced if one is to get health coverage. And that testing will result in increased abortions because every child with any defect will be aborted to save money. Or the mother will be denied health services. Free sex for all. Free search-and-destroy prenatal testing. Free abortion for all. The handicapped are dead. History doth repeat.
The media is trying to keep Santorum on the social issues so people can’t see his plans on energy, the economy, etc. They are attacking his faith with ridicule and disdain.

The Pill Is Not Good for Women
http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/291514
“Women on the whole disproportionately bear the burden of the new sexual regime. They are expected to dose themselves with a Group 1 carcinogen for approximately two-thirds of their fertile years. They sustain greater emotional costs from casual sex. They are at greater risk of contracting STDs and disproportionately suffer from their long-term consequences, such as cervical cancer and fertility loss.And even after 50 years with the Pill, as many as half of all pregnancies are still unintended. Women, not men, must make the heart-wrenching choice between abortion, reckoned a tragic outcome even by its supporters, and bearing a child with little to no paternal support. After all, since children were negotiated out of the bargain by the availability of contraception and abortion, men have secured a strong rationale to simply ignore or reject pregnancies that result from uncommitted sexual relations. Nobel-laureate economist George Akerlof predicted nearly two decades ago that this would lead directly to the feminization of poverty, as it ruefully has…”
“Contrary to a popular misconception, the alternative to the contraceptive revolution is not to roll back the clock on women’s advancement, and certainly not to promote a physically and emotionally taxing outcome in which women have as many children as biologically possible. Rather, the alternative to contraception is to respect biological asymmetry, heal the wound between the sexes, and expect more from men.”

The U.S. government is working to provide FREE contraceptives to every American woman. Yep. That means government wants to fund free-for-all sex. Since they obviously don’t care about the national debt, you would think that the Democrats would prefer to give everyone free FOOD instead. But no. Free sex is more their kind of thing. I know who will pay the price. There always is a price.

This is an old clip from 2006.
Santorum: birth control harms women and society
“I vote and have supported birth control because it is not the taking of a human life, but I’m not a believer in birth control, artificial birth control. Again, I think it goes down the line of being able to do whatever you want to do without having the responsibility that comes with it. This is from a personal point of view… From a governmental point of view… I have voted for contraception. I don’t think it works. I think it’s harmful to women. I think it’s harmful to our society – to have a society that says that sex outside of marriage is something that should be encouraged or tolerated particularly among the young. And I think it has, and we’ve seen very, very harmful long term consequences to a society. Birth control to me enables that, and I don’t think it is a healthy thing for our country.”

Girls, 13, given contraceptive implants at school
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9065998/Girls-13-given-contraceptive-implants-at-school.html
“Norman Wells, director of the trust, has urged health chiefs to look at ways of discouraging sexual activity amongst children in the first place.”
“He said: ‘Schemes like these inevitably lead to boys putting pressure on girls to have sex.’
“‘They can now tell their girlfriends: You can get the school clinic to give you an implant, so you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant.’”
“‘They’ll tell them they don’t have to face the embarrassment of going to see their doctor, and it’s all confidential so their mum doesn’t need to know a thing.’”
“‘Parents send their children to school to receive a good education, not to be undermined by health workers who give their children contraceptives behind their backs.‘”
“‘Health authorities should be looking for ways of discouraging young people from engaging in sexual activity in the first place.’”
“‘The last thing they should be doing is fueling the flames of promiscuity and the sexual health crisis with schemes that treat parents, the law and basic moral principles with contempt.’”
