it could be argued that men would benefit most from an equal rights amendment, esp. regarding paternity and divorce. As well as any future military draft.

so who changed the thing on birth control?
Catholics are used to giving the finger to the Vatican. But I don't think LDS authorities would be able to stomach having members with one or two kids while the edict was no birth control. Good adaptability to allow birth control. |

Bodies, Babies, and Birth Control
Melissa Proctor Dialogue - A Journal of Mormon Thought Issue: Volume 36, Number 3 / Fall 2003 Pages: 159 - 175 http://content.lib.utah.edu/cdm4/doc...R=29343&REC=19 You might want to start with the preceding article. In fact, I can make a pdf if it will facilitate reading on the subject. |

But it seems that reading the article there has never been any pronouncement really saying "birth control is ok". Seems like the GAs no longer talk about it really, and the members do what they want. As recently as 1993 Dallin Oaks said or quoted SWK that you should have as many children as possible. Looks like members voted with their feet on this one, and the GAs didnt' stop them. |

Let's be honest here, shall we? Those are the enemies of all that is good.

At least when it comes to intellectuals I really don't think I fear them because I consider them "dumb asses". |
