Dr. Marty Klein, author of “America’s War on Sex: The Attack on Law, Lust and Liberty,” has some additional questions for John McCain—who flailed in the face of a perfectly reasonable query about Viagra versus birth control last week—as well as his rivals for the presidency.

By Marie Cocco — The U.S. continues to have the highest teen pregnancy rate in the industrialized world, despite this week’s reports of doubled sales of the controversial over-the-counter birth control method Plan B, otherwise known as “the morning-after pill.” So why does Washington continue to push abstinence-only sex education against all better scientific judgments?

She also takes on a range of other “wedge issues” that have proved so divisive as to end up dividing even the staunchest conservatives.

The N.Y. Times Magazine delivers a devastating, in-depth report on Christian conservatives who “believe that having sex without the intent to procreate is a very, very bad thing”—and on their efforts to make all forms of contraceptives much harder to obtain.
