The only major world religion I can think of that absolutely does not allow birth control is the Catholic Church. Plenty others have restrictions, however, and Im sure a lot of Muslim women in the middle east would rather be in the position of the Catholics, where at least they can go outside without a hat without fear of being beaten to death by an angry mob. The pharmacidt thing is covered in the article- it does not affirm any right to refuse to do something that is legal. It really seems as if the main problem in the states is not that there are millions of angry, militant christians around, the way it is (equivalent religion) in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan, but rather that there is a very vocal minority who have managed to take advantage of christianities "good name" and no public figure wants to be seen to be the heathen who tells them to butt out of everyone elses affairs. What I try to tell everyone who questions why my tracts- so few people point out the inconsistencies, the stupidity, the blind fucking ignorance of the dominant religious culture, so why try to get me to stop aswell? Abstinence culture is currently being prmoted worldwide by these freaks, as Im sure you know. Thats part of the problem with fundamentalist faith- it has to be applicable to all, or it means nothing. If only they actually had some decent standards that they felt the urge to push globally, like abstinence from torture, or a global minimum wage, or smething equally as impossible/unworkable. That ball sounds utterly repellent, in the way that only undisguised pious mysogeny can be. Of curse, Daddys little Hymen is, or was, a real money spinner. If one cant sell/marry off ones virgin daughters to the highest bidder, then you might as well drown them in a bucket at birth, no?
