In Case You Were Wondering...
...what SpongeDob thinks about birth control, his Christian Fascist organization has a "position statement" on the subject here.

Basically, they're on the fence as to whether hormonal birth control is an abortifacient (progesterone-only pills are bad, combined estrogen and progesterone pills are acceptable). Not to worry, though, because "Focus on the Family encourages further investigation of the mechanisms of action of the pill and other hormonal contraceptives, and specifically calls upon the medical community to undertake research to prove or disprove the hypothesis that the combined oral contraceptive pill occasionally interrupts human life in its very early stages. You may be certain we will monitor new developments in this area of research."

Well, I certainly feel better. First they demonize partial-birth abortion, then abortion for "convenience," then abortion even in cases of rape or incest (God wants you to have your uncle's baby, sweetheart), then birth control. The more I read, the more I am convinced that the fundies have a carefully constructed plan --- to destroy a woman's right to have control over her own body and make her own reproductive choices.
