Opening of the Way

So finishing up with Kingdom Coming, The Rise of Christian Nationalism, by Michelle Goldberg 2006

She gets into some of the things which really infuriated me about these abstinence advocates.

First, around 1990 there was this contraceptive sponge which was going through public testing.  Billed as being the most ideal of contraceptives ever invented.

And then more recently, a vaccine for the HPV viruses.

Well the Christian Right and the Abstinence Advocates fought hard against these, and not because they might be ineffective or have side effects, they fight against them precisely because they might work exactly as intended.

So here I want to record some of Goldberg's more interesting looking references:
