Where does the GOP stand on Contraception?

So them changing the medical definition after the Stonewall Riots is just a coincidence? There wasn’t any political pressure to change the medical definition?
The medical definition of pregnancy is much, much older than the Stonewall riots.
Technically they did, you just don’t understand what equal rights entail.

Pedophiles have equal rights. They can date and marry adults, not prepubescent children.

Sodomites always had the right to marry someone of the opposite sex. Just because they prefer to fulfill their perversion doesn’t mean they didn’t have equal rights.
They didn't have the right to a civil marriage.

Are u denying that homosexuality being removed as a mental illness wasn’t influenced by political motives?

Yes they did. Every single person had the right to a marriage of someone of the opposite sex.

Well, that right has been extended to homosexuals and it hasn't seemed to do any harm. For Christians, homosexual activity is a sin, but they should be able to tolerate it in others, just like any other sin.

No, an homosexual person always had the right to get married. The definition of marriage was changed and forced on states.
and it hasn't seemed to do any harm.
“Hasn’t seemed”, only because u can’t see the harm.

Nope, not all sin should be legalized.

Adam56 - the thread topic is not homsexuality.

Nothing hormonal. Condoms are alright because they dont act as abortafacients in any sense.
Thanks for confirming that you--and many other conservative Christians--believe an abortion ban should include birth control pills, IUDs and definitely Plan B.

They are still Marching for Life and putting pressure on legislators.

The best form of birth control for couples whose families are complete is sterilization, but insurance companies don't always cover it.

And since Plan B is just a higher dose of regular birth control pills, it's safe to say that Christian conservatives really want to ban both of them.

It’s not garbage it’s the truth.

John 3:19-20
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

What about natural birth control. Like the program on most smart watches where they monitor temperature. My wife use to help women get pregnant by helping them understand their natural cycle and when they are futile.
This is an absolutely delightful late spring entry for the Typo of the Year Award.
Thank you.

I care because I lost my daughter because of that. I had a dream about her in Heaven. There are a lot of children that were aborted that are hoping beyond hope that their parents will get saved and go to heaven. But they know the odds are against that. When my daughter found out I was saved she and her friends all rejoiced and were happy. Also my son is in Heaven now, so he can tell her about me.
[I am sorry for your loss.]

??? Are you saying that when a sperm enters an ovum that a “human being” (complete with a “human soul”) is created?
Upwards of 40% of fertilized ova fail to implant (or fail to implant sufficiently) and are evacuated during the next menses cycle.

Pregnancy is not that dangerous now a days. Women who have used oral contraceptives had a (7%) increase in the risk of breast cancer compared with women who had never used oral contraceptives. Women who were currently using oral contraceptives had a 24% increase in risk.

Although it is less of a risk compared to eating a Big Mac at McDonalds. You chance of heart disease from a high fat diet is high.
The USA’s maternal mortality rate is abysmal, “not that dangerous” shows your ignorance on the matter.

"The odds are against women who have had abortions going to heaven?"
Just because there are single-issue voters and single-issue-judgmental people doesn't mean there is a single-issue God.
God is love. God is mercy. God spent his days on earth challenging and condemning the legalistic and judgmental.

And homosexuality was removed as a mental illness for a long time.

And the reason why, was because there is political strategy in changing the medical definition of things.

Sodomites needed to remove homosexuality as a mental illness, not to sleep with each other, but to push their agenda and make it more palatable to the average person and enhance their rights.
As a method of contraception, though, homosexuality has a near 100% effect. js

I would appreciate it if you would not violate the rules by your abusive use of the word "ignorance".

  • Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor working at the Vienna General Hospital between 1844 and 1848, noticed a stark difference in maternal mortality rates between two wards.
  • In the midwives’ ward, the maternal mortality rate was 36.2 per 1000 births, while in the doctors’ ward, it was a staggering 98.4 per 1000 births.
In 2022, the maternal mortality rate in the United States was 22.3 deaths per 100,000 live births, which is a significant decrease from 2021's rate of 32.9. However, this rate is still higher than other wealthy countries.

I would consider the 10% rate "abysmal" compared to 22 per 100,000.

This has nothing to do with "odds" it has to do with repentance. It has to do with a mother being reconciled with her child. God wants a mother to love her child as much as the child loves the mother. I have a niece that has 5 children because she felt that she would get the love she wanted and needed from her children.

Are you referring to “transgender” freaks?
I thought that I had clearly said “homosexuality“.
Transgender people‘s sexuality cannot be deduced from the fact that they are transgender.
