Anyway, as stated in yon Politics board, I'm a libertarian. The government should back off. I don't condone using it as a method of birth control-that's what pills and condoms are for, but making any part of it illegal is a step towards making all of it illegal, and that, I think, is unacceptable.

We have laws to sanction what is socially acceptible and unnacceptible. To believe that to kill your own child is socially unacceptible, in any form, would be to believe that it should be a law.
This isn't something that should be debatable; it should be law. If you do the deed, you accept the repercussions.
If someone shoots your mother, they go to jail for life or receive the death penalty. They cannot say "I didn't mean to put the gun to her head and pull the trigger", because they did it.
Similarly, if you stick your penis in a woman and pump until you've got children, you can't say "You didn't mean it" or "it was an accident".
