If
they really want to achieve this end, they should stop demanding that the government
fully subsidize their birth control. By subsidizing birth control, government effectively
intrudes into the bedrooms of its citizens.
For
contraception is not health care (except in rare cases, and then it is only
contraceptive per accidens.) By funding contraception, government is
effectively subsidizing childlessness by choice, encouraging casual sexual
behavior.
In
order for government to truly “get out of the bedroom,” government would need
to stop funding contraception and abortion altogether, and place no
restrictions on contraceptive devices. Only then would government be truly “out
of the bedroom.”
When
feminists argue that “government should stay out of the bedroom,” of course,
what they really mean is that government should subsidize free contraception
and abortion on demand. They do want government in the bedroom – but they want
government supporting their whims.
Catchy slogans like "get government out of the bedroom" distort reality.
Really could not have said it any better myself my friend.
