<p>This simple image signals a grave ignorance of <a title="Social Science Confirms Harmful Effects of Contraception" href="http://www.physiciansforlife.org/content/view/611/36/" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.physiciansforlife.org%2Fcontent%2Fview%2F611%2F36%2F','Social+Science+Confirms+Harmful+Effects+of+Contraception')" target="_self">recent social science</a> <a title="Sex, love, and health in America: private choices and public policies" href="http://books.google.com/books?id=S3aiAw5l90oC&amp;dq=Robert+Michael,+Akerlof&amp;source=gbs_navlinks_s" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DS3aiAw5l90oC%26amp%3Bdq%3DRobert%2BMichael%2C%2BAkerlof%26amp%3Bsource%3Dgbs_navlinks_s','Sex%2C+love%2C+and+health+in+America%3A+private+choices+and+public+policies')" target="_self">showing the connection </a><a title="The Vindication of Humanae Vitae" href="http://www.firstthings.com/article/2008/07/002-the-vindication-of-ihumanae-vitaei-28" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.firstthings.com%2Farticle%2F2008%2F07%2F002-the-vindication-of-ihumanae-vitaei-28','The+Vindication+of+Humanae+Vitae')" target="_self">between contraception and most major social pathologies of our time</a>. It presents an imperious worldview that treats contraception as a panacea that is universally desired and accepted. It isn&#8217;t and it&#8217;s not. <a title="Reproductive Rights &amp; Wrongs" href="http://pop.org/20090226949/reproductive-rights-and-wrongs" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fpop.org%2F20090226949%2Freproductive-rights-and-wrongs','Reproductive+Rights+%26amp%3B+Wrongs')" target="_self">Look where this leads.</a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;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&#8211;the last two will totally happen. Right.</p>
<p><strong>What are your ideas for replacement text for this ad? </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>I&#8217;ll kick start it:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">&#8220;What if this was your only answer to Pope Paul VI&#8217;s predictions about contraception &amp; social ills?&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">&#8220;What if this was your only option for public health policy-making?&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">&#8220;Gosh, I hope this marxist feminism thing works out for me.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">&#8220;I hope this objectification of my person and rejection of my fertility works out.&#8221;</p>
