No social conservative is suggesting banning contraceptives, not even Santorum. All he has said in the distant past is the objectively true statement that states have the right to ban contraception if they so choose. I mean, look at all the other things that get banned all the time by states.

Personally I would oppose the sale of abortifacient contraceptives (the pill, the morning after pill, etc.) because they too end a life, but if someone wants to use a condom or IUD or whatever that prevents conception that is their personal decision. But once a life is conceived there is someone else's existence at stake and it is no longer just the mother that will be impacted. In my view she lost that right when she became impregnated, just like you don't have the right to murder a day old baby, a child, a teenager, adult or senior citizen. In my view there is simply no difference.

But if you listened to Janet Smith's "Contraception, Why Not" you would understand why contraception has had such an awful impact on world in general and women in particular. But it would take an open mind. Everything the pro-contraception crowd promised would happen to improve the lives of women has not happened and everything that Pope Paul VI predicted in Humanae Vitae would happen to degrade the lives of woman has happened. It is a sad but incontrovertible truth........ You can get this on line and there are lots of youtube videos of her talks. They are compelling unless you are ideologically blind.
