So Frightening

I don't understand why other people feel that they have the legal right to force you to do or not do as they please, BASED ON THEIR religious views. I'm just disgusted by all of this. See below for an exerpt from an article on TomPaine.com and then read the whole frightening thing.

The War on Sex
By Christina Page
The architects of the South Dakota ban on abortion have a bold plan for our country. Certainly, they have already given a jolt to the majority of Americans, or at least the 66 percent who want Roe v. Wade to remain law of the land. But there’s a great deal more the American public should know about these legislative campaigners. Especially since there’s a lot more of their agenda they hope to realize.
They have a plan for you and if you are anything like the 85 percent of American couples who have sex once a week, you’re not going to like it.
Today, pro-life groups in the United States are reclassifying the most common contraception methods, including the birth control pill, the patch, the IUD, and the Depo-Provera shot, as “abortifacients” by claiming, with no scientific backing, that they cause abortions.

The American Life League explained, “We have been working to prove that prescription contraceptives have nothing to do with woman’s health and well-being but are recreational drugs that prevent fertilization and abort children.”

While the more extreme side of the pro-life movement hasn’t yet advocated violence against those that distribute birth control, they do agree with the concept of "contraception=abortion." Most chillingly, Army of God, a pro-life organization that honors those who murder abortion providers as “heroes,” also classifies birth control as an abortion method. On the “Birth Control is Evil” section of their website, they explain, quite threateningly, “Birth control is evil and a sin. Birth control is anti-baby and anti-child…Why would you stop your own child from being conceived or born? What kind of human being are you?”

Cloaked in the heated rhetoric of the abortion debate, an entirely new pro-life agenda is taking shape. Most Americans don’t know about this yet. But the Right to Life movement, which is now rewriting the country’s laws on abortion—of which South Dakota is clearly just a first target—has a broader and, for most of us, a disturbing plan. If this powerful movement succeeds, Americans will require safe abortion services more than ever.
