So we can bear arms, but not have sex? Don't they think that will lead to problems with that whole "right to life" thing in the future?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Does pretty much everyone know by now that anti-abortion groups are generally anti-birth control as well?
Yeah. That's where I go, "Oh, so it really IS about controlling women to you, isn't it?"

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
They usually don't say so outright like that, though.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Um, Lawrence v. Texas held that there's a right to have sex. And a couple of older decisions held that there's a right to birth control (Griswold v. Connecticut, back in the '60s, for married couples, and I can't remember name of the case for unmarrieds).
Of course, that's the right to obtain it. Not the right to have the government supply it. Kind of like there's no right to have the government pay for arms for private citizens.
Now, as a policy matter, given the government expenses avoided by preventing unwanted pregnancies (not to mention other health benefits involved by using various birth control devices), Missouri doesn't seem to be very smart there.

They're getting cocky. Which is just the tiniest bit ironic.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Silly MO legislators, they haven't learned to speak in code yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Lust has been a battleground for me. I was first introduced to porn when I found some on my dad's computer. To be honest, I knew it was wrong, but I still looked at it. Satan began attacking my purity, but I serve a powerful God!

I'm not making this up. It's right there on the Focus on the Family's Breakaway web site, in an article titled Inner Warrior: Suiting Up for Battle. Why the military metaphor? Does it take a nation of warriors to hold their johnsons back?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
War is for God.
Sex is for Satan.
Sounds like Satan has more fun. IJS.

Alas, my good mood of the morning has vanished in a gout of black smoke, and now I'm ready to start stabbing people with a plastic fork.
