Anti-choice groups take firmer anti-contraception stance
RH Reality Check points out that Iowa's first statewide anti-choice groups is just one among 86 around the country that are opposed to all forms of contraception:
Iowans for LIFE (Life Is For Everyone) has joined a coalition of anti-abortion groups under the umbrella of the American Life League and, by joining, has signed a document in opposition to not only abortion but all contraceptives and in vitro fertilization....Abortion will never end as long as society approves the use of contraception. The practice of contraception means children are unwanted and provides the rationalization for abortion. It is a violation of human dignity to promote or accept the use of contraception.
Blogger Lynda also notes that recent statements by Republican presidential hopefuls indicate that they might throw their support behind sentiments like these. Charming.
