CN - A liberal group of women wants chicks across the country to withhold sex in support of the Obama contraception mandate.

Thoughts?

This is probably TMI, but withholding sex would put me in a hellofabadmood.  Why the fvck would I want to do that?

Yep.  Exactly.

And FFS, I am poor as shiit and I've never had problems getting my hands on bc pills, lol.

WItholding sex only hurts their partners, not the government. It solves nothing. And I agree with DJ too

[QUOTE]Oh, and while we're on the TMI train, I feel like withholding sex hurts mine and my husband's relationship overall.  It feels like when things aren't happening there, we start getting more distant in every area.  So, again, bad idea.

</div><div>Very true.  Withholding sex does absolutely nothing to anyone except the people in the relationship, who as I said above, would likely not be happy campers.

Sounds like a bunch of hippy feminists with nothing better to do.

My husband is right handed and I haven't taken BCPs in forever so we're exempt I think.

My H isn't responsible for the birth control issue, so I don't feel that he should be punished.  Also, considering that the United States Council of Catholic Bishops has been the loudest collective voice in the anti-birth control movement, I doubt that withholding sex is going to make them suffer much.

Stupid idea and Darwinism at work.

Well they could go have sex... <div>

If the hippy feminists aren't getting any anyways, then it's easy to withhold sex.

IMO, I agree fully with what DJ says.  It hurts my relationship with FI, and when nothing's happening in the bedroom, we begin having problems outside the bedroom.

Considering it's pretty damn hard to get knocked up when you're already pregnant... I'm safe.

Even if I wasn't, there's still condoms. forreal.

heynow. I'm paying for this baby.

well, actually, my insurance is. BUT I PAY FOR THAT.

Wow. That's kinda...stupid.

Not to hijack the thread, but *if* (gods forbid) the "no birth control" thing gets passed, what happens to women who are taking BC for medical reasons? I take it to manage my PCOS. Am I just gonna be SOL?

They're not trying to outlaw birth control everywhere, they just don't want religious organizations to be forced to have to provide it to their employees when it goes against their principles.

Well if they were having sex then they might have something better to do.

And how is the government going to know who is having sex and who isn't?  And what would this solve.  I mean I doubt any of these government people are sleeping with any of these people who have this idea so why would they give a shite??
