This simple image signals a grave ignorance of recent social science showing the connection between contraception and most major social pathologies of our time. It presents an imperious worldview that treats contraception as a panacea that is universally desired and accepted. It isn’t and it’s not. Look where this leads.

Further, this ad belittles those across the political, socio-economic, and religious spectrum who, for various reasons, choose natural methods of family planning. With one photograph it presumes, offends, and betrays their own ignorance.

I can’t wait to write a book, make a movie and win a Nobel Prize about the connection between contraception and nearly every major social pathology of our time. Yeah–the last two will totally happen. Right.

What are your ideas for replacement text for this ad?

I’ll kick start it:

“What if this was your only answer to Pope Paul VI’s predictions about contraception & social ills?”

“What if this was your only option for public health policy-making?”

“Gosh, I hope this marxist feminism thing works out for me.”

“I hope this objectification of my person and rejection of my fertility works out.”
