I always try to stay out of Religious threads but let me just say this. As a practicing Catholic, I, like 90 some percent of other Catholic women think the church needs to come to the 21st Century regarding birth control. I have never been on board with them on this issue.
In my life, I have known no Catholic women, friend, relative, co-worker(in my age group) who was opposed to birth control. My mother, who is now nearly 89 would be in the generation in which "rhythm was the best method." We've come a long way baby.
I think The President's compromise (and actually I don't see it as a cave but a compromise) is acceptable and from women's groups I'm hearing on tv, everyone seems to be ok with it. We will see how it plays out but I don't have a problem with it.
