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 usually don't say so outright like that, though.

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

Silly MO legislators, they haven't learned to speak in code yet.

Y'all know I was just taking the piss, right? Just checking.

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.

Found in my change - a 1919 wheat penny. SCORE! If I am lucky it will be worth 3 or 4 cents!

Can we film this, and show it every Christmas?

I just bought a thing. I'm quite excited.
