“posters that say ‘don’t rape’ will prevent precisely zero rapes, because rape is already illegal, and would-be rapists know that. We can scream ‘don’t rape’ until we’re blue in the face, and it won’t make a blind bit of difference. It has to be possible to say simultaneously that rape is reprehensible and that it is OK – in fact, essential – to offer advice that could help to reduce its incidence.”

“The pill is 91% effective with typical use... In the contemporary United States about half of women who have abortions report they were using contraception when they became pregnant. And about a quarter of all pregnancies end in abortion. For married women who can cope with the 'oops' baby, the pill is a good option. But for everyone else it doesn't deliver what it's actually supposed to. And yet it was effective enough to change social norms drastically. –Louise Perry”

“It is because we don’t know who we are, because we are unaware that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, that we behave in the generally silly, the often insane, and sometime criminal ways that are so characteristically human.”
