I've never understood the Republican platform on this. People (including Democrats AND Republicans) aren't going to stop having sex. It just isn't going to happen, regardless of the weird Puritanical fantasies some pro-lifers have. So why not help prevent abortions through contraception? It's not the entire answer but it's a part of the answer. But Republicans, supposedly pro-life (which is laughable) want to eliminate one method that helps prevent abortions. I want to get back to a point where I meet a Republican and not immediately assume said person is an idiot.
