Ev'ry sperm is saaaacred...

This has been preying on my mind since elissa_carey posted it...

"My administration has championed compassionate alternatives to abortion, such as helping women in crisis through maternity group homes, encouraging adoption, promoting abstinence education, and passing laws requiring parental notification and waiting periods for minors," Bush said. - Bush declares National Sanctity of Human Life Day

Yeah, y'know what? I'd have a whole lot more respect for National Sanctity of Human Life day if I could find the word "contraception" in that sentence up there. (Or wait, this is W we're talking about -- make that "birth control". Either way.)

It's this kind of thinking that leads one to call Bush and his pals "anti-choice". Guess what? I'd love for abortion to be obsolete. I'd love it. I don't know any reasonable person who wouldn't. But relying on abstinence and adoption as the alternatives ain't gonna cut it.

Ah well, you know what the Monty Python boys say:

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

and also:

MRS. BLACKITT: Hmm. Well, why do they have so many children?
MR. BLACKITT: Because... every time they have sexual intercourse, they have to have a baby.
MRS. BLACKITT: But it's the same with us, Harry.
MR. BLACKITT: What do you mean?
MRS. BLACKITT: Well, I mean, we've got two children, and we've had sexual intercourse twice.

Granted, not totally apropos this thought since it refers to official Catholic opposition to birth control. But I adore that scene, and any excuse to quote Monty Python...

I would hate people to think I was falling down on the job, and it HAS been a couple of days.



Maybe if I get really fed up with formatting PowerPoint slides, I'll update the site a trifle too.
