@beggary: Do condoms count as contraception? If so that's wild, not that what is currently happening isn't also extremely insane. It's getting so hard to live life here and not feel like you're going insane if you don't join the small cult of conservatives who try to run everything. (I also live in the midwest so maybe that colors my feelings about the whole thing more) I guarantee you if I were to try to talk to the majority of average people where I live about it they would trip over themselves a thousand times to justify whatever nonsense these "leaders" pull on us. They would go on and on about how its not really this or that, and they'll have an excuse for every time you rebuttal them even if it literally makes no logical sense. You don't even have to be religious or overtly moral anymore to be overtaken by this insane movement, there has been great success in turning many non-political or non-religious people into warriors for their cause through culture wars. I know people who years ago would have never supported anything like this who I know now have been warped by everything so much that they wholly support these things. Maybe that's what happens when you grow up and continue to live in a conservative area, eventually at least some of your normal friends from high school end up becoming just as brainwashed as the older people who whined at us about the devil and people of color all our lives. But I also can't help but feel like propaganda and the twisting of reality through places like facebook etc. have helped accelerate this at an alarming degree. I can't leave here and I feel trapped every day. It's getting really hard to try and make something out of my life when I'm so sickened and disenfranchised with everything going on around me.
