Progressive Personal Responsibility

Let me ask a quick question before we begin: when you do something, who receives the consequences - good or bad - of that action?
Probably you, right? Likely there are others that will also be affected by said action, but mostly you.

Well, if the Progressives get their way, that may change.
To illustrate this point, enter Exhibit A:

Now, I will say that I agree with Justice Ginsburg on one aspect: the government should have no control over a woman on this issue.
But what is she implying? She's totally insinuating - in the light of the Hobby Lobby case - that the government is now forcing women to get pregnant and have children and that is treating women as "less than [full adults]". Nowhere did Hobby Lobby or anyone pro-life and against abortive forms of birth control insist that women be forced to give birth, so that's an invalid argument.
She's also saying that women should be "responsible for [their] own choices". I couldn't agree more. However, since when does having your employer or your fellow taxpayer pay for your birth control making you responsible for your own choice?
I can wait.

I understand that today's culture is saturated with sex. You'd have to literally live in a cave or under a rock not to see that. And - as I believe it was Joshua Harris who said this - they say sex isn't a big deal and we shouldn't be making so big of a deal out of it. They're wrong. Sex is a huge deal, and we're not making a big enough deal out of it.

As far as I can see, sex has two purposes: to join a husband and wife physically, and to create life.
We've effectively stripped it of the first meaning, and liberals, progressives, and feminazis everywhere are racing to strip it of the second.

Now, don't get me wrong. I understand that there are positive medical uses for birth control. I know there are horrible, painful, life-altering conditions that are made much more bearable with birth control.
What I and people who think like me are against is killing a baby in the womb, the safest place on earth it could possibly be.
And I think we'd all be kidding ourselves if we decided to assume that these people shouting outside the courthouse during the Hobby Lobby case were fighting for birth control so that they could have easier menstrual cycles. Ibuprofen can be bought over the counter, y'all.
And for the record, Hobby Lobby did not have objections to sixteen out of the twenty types of birth control covered by the ACA. The four in question? Abortives that would terminate any personal responsibility a woman may have otherwise need to face if she was giving herself away.

Justice Ginsburg is right about one thing: people need to be personally responsible for their actions. That's always the best policy. It leads to sensible, modest, and honorable behavior in every realm. But as soon as that's stripped away, people will do whatever they please, and we're seeing the fruits of that now.
