That's extreme.


scottandrew answered this well... but I felt I should add ... having birth control freely available so a woman (or couple) can CHOOSE when, and if she wants children (or more children) is about giving choice. Extremisim is about taking choice away...

The lack of morals the some Christians are suggesting occur because birth control is available, is a failing on their part, not the ability to make a choice. (Though I would disagree imorallity is any different now in normal society, than it ever was before birth control. just now there are less abandond/ abused unwanted children)

The desire to control people by taking away their freedom to choose is extreamism... like the church saying there should be no birth control.

Tolerance means if you don't like something you ignore it
