From the Chicago Sun-Times:
The founder of Domino's Pizza is starting a Florida town where he will build a Catholic university -- and possibly keep out contraception.
Tom Monaghan, who sold Domino's years ago, is using his fortune to help construct Ave Maria, a town and school near Naples, Fla.
"I believe all of history is just one big battle between good and evil," he was quoted as saying this week by Newsweek. "I don't want to be on the sidelines."
Monaghan, a conservative Catholic, controls the commercial real estate in Ave Maria along with a developer, the magazine said.
He wants drugstores to keep birth control off their shelves, and the developer said it would favor pharmacies with such a policy, according to Newsweek. A clinic opening already has said it would refuse contraception to students.
His attempt to restrict contraceptives may clash with the American Civil Liberties Union.
"It is completely naive to think this first attempt will be their last," the ACLU's Howard Simon told Newsweek. He argues that the Supreme Court has ruled that owning a city doesn't always equal "absolute dominion."
The ACLU may not get much support from Ave Maria's residents. According to Newsweek, the town probably will draw church-centered families, and there have been 7,000 home-buying inquiries.
Stupid, Dumb dumb Idea. You need birth control. Unless you ban alcohol, too. Then porn. it's just stupid. The birth rate will skyrocket there, because people will have sex no matter what.
