I'm listening to your conversation with Charlie Sykes about long term reversible options for birth control and am shocked (but not surprised) that there is no mention of vasectomies at puberty and reversed when the adult is finally ready & willing to accept responsibility for having and raising a family. Why is birth control still only viewed as the woman's problem to solve? After all, women don't get pregnant on their own, there's a man involved.

To your question about what does the pro-life movement want - don't underestimate it's about control. If women are barefoot & pregnant and encouraged to be stay at home mom's, they're out of the workforce for the time being - i.e. their threat to men in the workplace is greatly diminished.

From the employer standpoint, it means fewer promotions, less pay - women make roughly 71 cents to men's $1.00 - so cheap labor - every corporation's wet dream.
