A nationwide anti-abortion group launched an effort in Florida Friday to outlaw all abortions and certain types of birth control, including oral contraceptives and the morning-after pill.

Yep, a group opposed to abortions wants to outlaw the birth control pill, which would only lead to ** more abortions **! Sigh...

        The article says it best: outlawing birth control pills would almost certainly result in more abortions.

          I'm just wondering if this group will seek to criminalize condoms. After all, they do the same thing that the Pill does.

          I think the best thing for this country would be to all meet up at the state line with crowbars and see if we could launch Florida into the Atlantic Ocean. They have already launched themselves into the dark ages.

          They are not like the rest of us. They deserve to be an independent republic, much like Texas. A place where men look their sex partners in the eye and say "I ain't wearin' a condom, Sister-mom - it displeases the Lord!"

            So why aren't the Tea Baggers up in arms about this proposed big government intrusion into the uteruses(pl?) of your wives and daughters? Where's the outrage? I need to find a conservative. I could use a good teabagging right about now.

              "The amendment seeks to outlaw all abortions, even in cases of rape and incest. Also criminalized: the morning-after pill and oral contraceptives taken by women, known as the pill. "There are some (birth control) methods that kill a child," said Pat McEwan, who is leading the Personhood Florida group."

              These are the same people who insist that sex is for procreation ONLY. No recreational sex. No pleasure but just your duty to procreate for their God. They equate contraception to killing a child. Deranged people like this are ignorant of science and make things up. Birth control pills do not kill a child, it prevents the conception of a child.

                  outlaw birth control pills?

                  good luck.

                  lets see what Big Pharma has to say about that.

                      Maybe groups in Florida should work to reduce the age limit for driving?
