...I don’t know who came up with the idea that sex was consequence free; whether it was the genius advertisers pushing The Pill, or Hugh Hefner, or just some kind of agreed upon cultural delusion, it doesn’t really matter. The reality is that we’re all stuck with the consequences of the myth of consequence free sex. In fact, we’ve promulgated the myth for so long we have generations for whom the thought of consequences to sexual relations is an oddity. Abstinence has become a cultural punchline.And what is true love? It's the sort that swears to love for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
Now, not only do we have an expectation of consequence free sex but we have a right. And this supposed “right” has left generations pursuing an unnatural myth with calamitous consequences for our culture. The myth has fostered the “right” to abortion and now the “right” to contraception, even at the expense of religious institutions.
Sex, I’m sorry to report, has consequences. Lots of them. Heartbreak, pregnancy, disease, abortion, and single parenthood are just some of them...
Right now, there is a serious demand that even religious institutions must pay for others to continue existing as if sex had no consequences. Here’s the thing—having sex is a choice. And so obsessed with maintaining their choice, many people are content to remove the choice from others in order to serve their choice.
The myth of consequence-free sex has led to millions of abortions, heartbreak, single parent families, rampant disease, and other calamities. In order to worsen that, we’re going to force religious institutions to pay for that.
We know there’s no such thing as free sex. It’s just a matter of who pays.
