I think we have a moral obligation to do everything in our power to protect our unborn children from the dehibilitating effects of this virus, which includes easier access to reduced cost or free prescription contraception.  What are your thoughts?

Contraception will do nothing to protect an unborn child since it has already been conceived. Also, since zika can be transmitted by sex, birth control pills will not protect against transmission. Condoms are probably the better choice and they are beyond cheap.

Every liberal guy I know say they always put on a condom before engaging in sex just like they were taught in sex ed in school.

Here is proof they do.



They still can't understand how the partner got pregnant!

I'm afraid that yet again you've either missed the point, or are ignoring it.  Obviously contraception does nothing to stop the spread of STD'S nor is it to be used post conception.  However,  we need to do whatever it takes to decrease the chance of unintended pregnancy, given the circumstances surrounding the Zika vurus.  Which is why we need to be in full support of things like full, easy access to prescription contraception, and organizations like Planned Parenthood that deal specifically with pregnancy and prevention of pregnancy.

An ob-gyn doctor's association in Puerto Rico is handing out free contraception but there is an interesting dynamic at work:

"Here in Puerto Rico, I don't know why, [but] contraception is difficult," she says. "In terms of condoms, you can get them everywhere, but people don't want to buy them. They want to have them for free."

Jeebus, you can buy condoms for 50¢ but I guess that's too much to spring for for some guys.

Again, you're going to play the personal responsibility card instead of doing all you to can to make sure that we don't risk exposing an unexpected baby to the Zika virus?

From the CDC: "Pregnant women and their partners should use condoms and other barriers to prevent sexual transmission of Zika virus, or not have sex throughout the pregnancy."

Note Fcukstik, oral contraceptives aren't going to do jack to prevent the spread of zika. Only barrier methods (condoms) or abstinence will work.
