Spider-Man and Planned Parenthood

Apparently, this really happened back in the day:

Spider Man teams up with Planned Parenthood to battle the natalists. Have I mentioned that Reihan Salam has the desk next to mine now?

Does that mean he got hired by the Atlantic?

"natalist" is not the word for someone who wants to deprive people of information.

Didn't spiderman kill Mary Jane because of his radioctive sperm?

I didnt know we were being called "natalists"??

I'll take it as long as our opposition is called anti-natalist. (and when I say anti- natalist, I mean ANTI-natalist)

I do love kids....

What's sad is that that comic book is both more direct and informative about many issues related to sex education than what we provide kids with today. Not only that, but it also promotes responsibility in teens. What will become of children who have had abstinence only education thrust upon them?

Your kind always does, particularly with fava beans and a good chianti . . .

So the Atlantic only hires Harvard grads?

"Does that mean he got hired by the Atlantic?"

No, strangely, it doesn't. Also, what is the sound of one hand clapping? Does a dog have a Buddha-nature?

I endorse the natalist position unequivocally and unironically.

It does clear up your acne.

And it does indeed make it more fun when you're only a decade or two older than your spawn.

The anti-natalists have been spreading their ignorant and destructive propaganda for too long. Take back the pregnancy!

Okay, so I take it from his post in The American Scene that Reihan Salaam is supposed to look like the bad guy (?)... but MY is, wait, who? I don't.... me no understand.

Did anyone else notice the disco boots on the health teacher? Wow.

Hey Matt, here's something to boggle your mind: if girls had their kids in high school and college, they wouldn't have to take maternity breaks at key points in their careers and they would have the same progression as men. It might be the best way to reduce the income gap between the sexes.

Hoo-ah!

Yeah, but then they'd already be fat and saggy by the time they tried to enter the business world and no sleazy HR men would hire them just for their "wicked gams" and they'd all end up frying chicken at the local Hof Brau anyway.
It's a viscous, viscous cycle. Taut abs and firm quads aid traction! Just say no to nubile nymphs engaging in natal nincompoopery before their naughty-bits need a nip-tuck!

Fitz also has a deeply conflicted attitude toward teh gay and wants to be a priest. I needn't say any more.

Yeah man but Jesuit priests are cool dudes who smoke cigs and ride motorcycles and wear leather jackets and espouse liberation theology and... are TOTALLY attracted to fully grown women, but have taken a vow of chastity-- DRAT!
