Was the administration conflating religion and morality, refusing to recognize that limiting the size of one's family can be, and for many people is, itself a deeply moral choice, surely of equivalent weight to an employer's conviction that every sex act by its female employees should carry the prospect of procreation?

"It's easy to imagine this is nothing but rural precinct incompetence and southern reticence to speak openly about controversial topics: when we talk about sex and death here in Tulsa, we use nouns such as 'fornication' and 'procreation,' phrases such as 'to pass on,' 'to go home,'" Potts wrote in The Guardian.

Still, he, like many others, saw the rest of the story: how, when sex is severed even from the idea of procreation (distilled perfectly in the modern phrase, "unprotected sex - not sex - makes babies") it loses considerable weight and much forethought about children's wellbeing; how the "marketplace" for dating and marriage changes.

People who have never given a thought to One Direction or any of its members procreation plans in their lives can still be sucked in by this story because it's utterly insane, and because it involves a celebrity allegedly doing what we kind of believe they all do — manipulate the living hell out of all of us.

In a 2004 critique, Pickett explained that, since the natural law view of sexuality holds that "sex must be related to a human 'good'—in this case, the possibility of procreation—in order to be just," its proponents commonly defend anti-LGBTQ policies from anti-sodomy laws to legal discrimination as grounded in human reason, rather than faith.

"Now we help streamline laboratory processes in order to help the 180M people who have fertility problems have access to fertility at an affordable price and reliable manner but also we have an eye on the future — what happens when genetic testing… [plays] an important role in the procreation and people will opt for this," he adds.

But first, we are introduced to this new pope by way of a dream where he crawls out from inside a pile of babies only to give a radical speech to St. Peter's square extolling the virtues of (among other things) masturbation, gay marriage, nuns performing mass and people having sex for pleasure rather than procreation, as various cardinals and other church figures fall faint with shock.

RAM 6 draws on the African culture and traditions that live on in Haïti; this diverse, compelling set features ancient texts ("Koulou Koulou" is part of the traditional Haitian prayer "La Priye Djô"), deities (the black top hat-wearing cemetery keeper and lord of death, healing and procreation on "Mon Konpe Gede"), driving rhythms, traditional percussion and the distinctive sound of rara horns (check the opening "Papa Loko (Se Van)", celebrating the patron of healers and plants); but it also draws from other forms of popular Haitian music, mashing it up with a rock sensibility and electric guitars.
