Theocracy in America

Yglesias:

All too often you see social conservatives aiming at what amount to marginal targets like gay marriage and abortion when the logic of their critique is aimed at stuff like divorce and basic birth control.

Actually, it goes beyond that. Combating divorce and birth control are just two-dimensional projections of these theocrats' real goal, which is to squelch any sexual liberty and autonomy whatsoever. (Whether fornicating couples use birth control matters much less than that the fornication is taking place at all.)
