| Do Women Really Want a Male Birth Control Pill? by Glenn Sacks Women have long lamented the unequal burden they shoulder in the area of contraception. Today researchers are reportedly close to perfecting a male contraceptive that is free of side effects, easy to take, and reversible. But do women really want a male birth control pill? Power is the reward which comes with responsibility. For example, during the Cold War Americans complained about the money and manpower spent protecting a reputedly ungrateful world from communism. Yet these sacrifices also helped give the United States great geopolitical power, with its attendant perks and privileges. Similarly, while women legitimately complain that biology has condemned them to bear the burden of contraception, this burden also gives women control over one of the most important parts of any human being’s life – reproduction. The male birth control pill will shift much of that control from women to men. Is the following conversation far away? Woman #1: "My [husband, boyfriend, significant other] is selfish. He's on the pill and won’t get off. I’ ve asked him to stop taking it but he always says he’s not ready. He just won’t grow up. I don’t know what to do." Woman #2: "That’s what the pill has given men – a right to be perpetual adolescents. It’s given them veto power over women who want to have children." Despite the stigma that will develop against men who take the pill, the pill will be a success. While most women are responsible and want to have children with a willing, committed partner, studies show that lack of reproductive control can be a major problem for men today. For example, the National Scruples and Lies Survey 2004 polled 5,000 women in the United Kingdom for That’s Life! magazine. According to that survey, 42% of women claim they would lie about contraception in order to get pregnant, regardless of the wishes of their partners. Jo Checkley, the editor of That’s Life!, is correct when she says "to deliberately get pregnant when your partner doesn’t want a baby is playing Russian roulette with other people’s lives." According to research conducted by Joyce Abma of the National Center for Health Statistics and Linda Piccinino of Cornell University, over a million American births each year result from pregnancies which men did not intend. The male pill will fill a genuine economic need. Child support levels are rising, generally comprising 15–25% of take-home pay for one child, in addition to add-ons for child care, health care, and other costs. There is also a trend towards extending child support obligations beyond the age of 18, and child support enforcement is increasingly wide-ranging and effective. Moreover, most men realize that it’s difficult to remain a part of their children’s lives once the relationship with the children’s mother has broken down, particularly if the children were born outside of marriage. The pill will help ensure that men only have children in the context that’s best for men – a stable marriage. The advent of the female birth control pill greatly aided women’s struggle for autonomy and fulfillment. The male birth control pill will also create great changes, but these changes will not be to some women’s liking. Be careful what you ask for – you might get it.

| The only thing which is not important and doesn't count at all for Hilly-Billy, is the people. From other sites: "Today the American justice system was turned on its head. A zealous prosecutor and a sanctimonious federal judge sentenced Scooter Libby, former chief of staff to the Vice President of the US, to thirty months in prison for lying to federal officials about what he legally said to journalists about an outed CIA agent. With all of the power of the federal judiciary behind him, Libby’s judge proclaimed the legal imperative that public officials have a special duty to fully and forthrightly cooperate with all federal investigations, and that their legal duty, shared by all citizens, requires them to assist all government investigations. The sanctity of the investigatory process itself must be protected, regardless of what the subject of the investigation concerns. Yet when it comes to the Junior Senator from New York, who is the leading democratic candidate for President of the US, a very different standard is applied not only by the federal judiciary, but also by the Justice Department and Congressional committees and commissions conducting their own investigative activities. Notwithstanding more than six years of consistent allegations made by Hillary’s largest donor that Hillary broke campaign laws and then obstructed all investigations into her illegalities - causing the unnecessary indictment and trial of her campaign functionary, David Rosen for supposedly hiding information from Hillary that she in fact had full knowledge of- Hillary has never been accountable. Even with the April 12, 2007 release of a smoking gun video tape capturing Hillary in the act of committing two felony violations of the election law, no prosecutor will deign to seriously investigate, let alone indict her, for her years of obstructions and false statements so that a federal judge might have the opportunity to apply the same accountability being meted out to Mr Libby, to Hillary for her multiple felony violations, especially those recorded on video tape. The media will not even present a question to her about her conduct on this video tape. If we are truly a Nation of Laws, with the Equal Protection of the Laws applied to all citizens, then there should be a hue and cry among the citizenry that Hillary be just as accountable as Scooter Libby, though the Clinton’s Heaven May Fall. Even worse is the Justice Department’s ongoing protection of Hillary Clinton’s six year obstruction of three federal investigations into her illegal fundraising activities in Hollywood in 2000 which caused the unnecessary indictment and trial of her finance director enabled by the six year suppression of video taped evidence [hillcap.org] just released by the US Attorney in NY, capturing Hillary in felony violations of the federal election law which would have vindicated her finance director and resulted in her indictment instead. She has lied about the role she played, as caught on tape, to the voters, the FEC, the DOJ and every related investigation since 2001."
