"A new Gallup poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly find hormonal birth control moral, and they’re much more likely to find it moral than other American institutions like divorce and the death penalty. The poll showed that even Catholics, they of the institutions that just filed a big lawsuit against the feds for forcing Catholics to go against their morals, believe that birth control is moral at a rate of 82% (their opinions on what the role the government should play in mandating birth control is more divided). The rest of the American population is 90% totally cool with birth control being used; 89% of the overall population believes that birth control is morally acceptable. Those numbers are pretty impressive, as it’s hard to get 9 out of 10 people to agree on anything, except maybe Jon Hamm’s handsomeness. I mean, even dentists can’t all agree on what toothpaste best promotes both sufficient whiteness and overall oral health. Birth control is basically the Crest toothpaste of moral issues. It’s got an approval rating about 8 times higher than the US Congress! Birth control for President!"

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) claims that SOPA and PIPA are aimed at stopping online piracy. But as this infographic demonstrates, it’s really about fighting innovation.
