Breeding Stock -- A Comment on Sexual Morality

A few posts ago (the long one about morality) I made a comment to the effect that the Dobson Gang doesn't reduce heterosexual relationships to mere sex. I'm wrong on that, if you stop to think about it: the whole idea that sex is for procreation, a cornerstone of the Christianist position on sex and morality, is just about that: people are breeding stock, pure and simple.
