There is also a strong correlation between pro-life politicians and anti-sex education and anti-condom distribution politicians. The Pro-Life pro-condom and pro-sex education politician is a rare thing in the Republican party.

I sadly have to concur. I have raised the argument that the first step to fighting abortion is making birth control easily available for all - if not free. The right wingers always offer some claptrap about how we have to "get back to responsibility." These conservatives are not morons - they realize such an argument is tantamount to saying "we must put the milk back in the bottle," yet they say it with a straight face. I am reasonable on this issue. I think sensible minds can work together and really reduce abortions substantially. But how can I work with these conservatives who espouse illogic? I mean, really, what the hell am I supposed to say to someone who makes a ridiculous argument and refuses to compromise? How can I have a meeting of the minds with a person who'd cut off his nose to spite his face?
Why do these right wing people persist in being impossible?
