In 1965, Griswold legalized the use of birth control by married couples (gasp).
In those days no one could foresee that the white birth rate would eventually decline to such an extent that minorities are now expected to one day equal or outnumber the white population.
I have yet to find a more plausible explanation for the conservative hysteria over birth control than the fear that white males may one day be in the minority. I suspect that many Republicans are fully aware that unless something is done to stop the decline of the white (male) birth rate, the Republican Party, the party of white men, is headed for its deathbed.
Jesus General raises an interesting question: Exactly where do Republican women stand on the question of birth control?
The General's call to Republican women:
"Last night on CNN, Sen. Rick Santorum proudly stood up and declared his opposition to Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court decision that legalized contraception. Now, radical feminists, who for so many years have worked tirelessly to destroy motherhood by encouraging birth control, are mobilizing their supporters to attack Sen. Santorum. It's up to women like you to stop them."
If you'd like to ask the Republican women of PA where they stand on birth control, Jesus General has their addresses.
