Conservatives say that acceass to morning after pill will embolden rapists

[fireheart17]

Well, the argument that access to contraception encourages sex has been so well debunked that even the crazies are realizing they need a new argument.

And they're so crazy they don't get how crazy they sound.

One argument I've heard of in relation to the "x encourages sex" line has been the Gardrasil vaccination encouraging sexual promiscuity

If anything, the only thing that certain contraceptives MIGHT encourage is the idea that they're foolproof and/or protect against STI's (barring condoms) but with proper education, those ideas should be thoroughly debunked. (one of the reasons why I'm very much for compulsory sex education)

Back on-topic.

The ONLY ONLY way I could see the suggestion making sense is in how the morning-after pill works. By their logic though, it would mean that the evidence they're seeking is a pregnancy. No pregnancy=rapist is less likely to be prosecuted. (and even abortions would still be evidence that a rape took place if done for that reason)
