That's the reality. The only thing that would be changed by such a law would be recognition of the facts. Most human cultures have done just fine dealing with it. Their answer was to curtail fornication.>
This is unacceptable. If you religious fanatics want to impose this absurd restriction on our personal freedoms, then you better be willing to fight over it - with blood and steel.
Hrm the score to date would seem to indicate us religious fanatics have it all over you fornicating types

How do you figure?
never heard fornicators conquered in a civil war
So that's how we have to settle this??? Sigh...
It's obvious the religious right can not co-exist with mainstream society. Rather than a civil war, I would prefer territory with semi-autonomy be partitioned off for them to live exactly as they please. The only service they would receive from the state is military protection, and they would be expected to obey some basic commerce laws, pay taxes for the military and court system, and forfeit their right to political participation on the federal level. Beyond that, they can institute whatever religious laws and education they want within their jurisdiction.
The alternative, of course, is war.

How are you going to create that situation?
We need to explore space so we can give these wackos their own planet.

Yeah, domination of one thought of thinking will settle it.../endsarcasm
There is different opinions on this topic for a reason, and simply stating that "when everyone agrees with me it will be settled" is void of any argument...
Just for the record I am non-religious and generally hold what other people might describe as left wing views, yet I oppose abortion. Dismissing people's views or arguments as the fanatical religious right is not dealing with the issue or answering the argument and is no more right than when other people may casually dismiss your own views and logical arguments as being "loony liberal left"
