The vast majority of unplanned pregnancies are the man's fault

You can still pressure a woman into an unwanted pregnancy in marriage as well. Just because you are married doesn’t mean you respect her on family planning within the marriage. Just that she has legal recourse to hold the man accountable now for the child that she wasn’t ready to have.
 
Also, putting those hormones in your body is just ewwwww.

We did spend a lot of time researching Viagra so that men can keep having sex though

Actually, no.
Viagra was originally developed for angina pectoris, but it didn’t show a clear benefit over other available medications.
However, the researchers kept hearing reports from the test subjects that they were no longer suffering from ED, so they decided to explore that “side effect”

Ca-ching for the Pfizer corporation!
 
You’re ignoring what we Christians believe to be the obligations of a married person. Wilfully, I think. Respect for the other is of tremendous important. We are commanded to “love [our] wives as Christ loved the church,” even to the point of sacrificing our lives for them. We don’t believe that after marriage, anything goes and men can simply use their wives as we please.

You can’t divorce our beliefs on sexual morality from our beliefs on marriage. They’re tightly intertwined.
 
Yes and in some Planned Parenthood clinics the women can get an implant that lasts 3-5 years as well for free. But how many of those clinics are being shut down? I believe there are now only 2 in the entire state of Texas.

Not all Walmart have prescription clinics in them as well. But every Walmart sells condoms.

How does this compare to guys not being able to get a condom and actually use it though? Women still have to go to a doctor and have a doctor’s prescription to get birth control and take the pill every day, even if they are not sexually active that day.
 
Not divorcing them, but pointing out that you seem to be arguing that marriage seems to protect the woman from these issues when they don’t. She still needs a say in when she has a child with her husband, she still physically suffers for 9 months his 5 minutes of fame, the family now needs to decide if someone will be a stay at home parent, if someone will have their career prospects curtailed for becoming a parent, etc. All this just so the husband can have great sex for him. That’s not being a husband, that’s just being a child who happens to be married.
 
Yesterday I paid $100, more than a days wages, for one prescription (my husband will die without it, that is the cash discount assist price).

One will have to do a lot of talking to convince me that paying $4 at CVS, Target, Walgreen’s, WalMart, etc in order to have some sinful intercourse is a real burden.
 
There is actually a lot of research into a “stud” pill, just they found this one has this side affect for men. But again, they were not pursuing birth control pills for men as rigorously as they were for women at all. Its fine to mess with the hormones of women it seems, but not men on this issue.

I’m not saying that marriage itself protects a woman from abuse. I’m saying that by abiding by Christian teachings on marriage and sexuality, both spouses protect themselves and one another from abuse.

We don’t view marriage as a mere legal contract between two people that allows sex. It’s far more than that, and by pretending as if our views on sexuality in marriage can be separated from our other teachings on marriage, you construct a straw man that does not resemble what we believe.

I do not think you are arguing in good faith, and I am done with this topic.
 
In comparison to what men have to go through to get a condom, is that really an equal comparison? Do men have to see a doctor and get a prescription for a condom? Do men have to have their hormones altered for their birth control to work? Do men have to wear a condom ever day, even if they don’t have sex that day to ensure their birth control is supposed to work? Do men have to worry about pickup up an STD as much with the birth control they use?
Men seem to wear condoms to avoid pregnancy more than to avoid getting an STD, but they don’t seem to care about spreading an STD if they know she’s on the pill.
