Do religious crazies want to ban vasectomies? It's birth control after all.
Or, as I suspect, does this hypocrisy expose that opposition to birth control isn't about birth at all, but about control of women?

3. Your dog is beautiful.
My aunt had a pair that died a few years ago. They were so intelligent, so curious, so interested. They were an amazing handful, but still, they were beautiful.

We have a shelter dog who is around one year old, and she's beautiful too. Thanks for the comment.

Edited to add: Huck had a lot more than a vasectomy...If you're not going to breed them, neuter and spay!

4. They prolly don't care about that - they're primary concern is to control female sexuality.

6. What?
You mean men can contribute to birth control? :sarcasm:

Thank Gods I got my tubes tied. I cannot imagine taking the risks of being fertile at this time.

Vasectomies really are the way to go though, for truly monogamous heterosexual couples.
