from Catholics Asked to Tell Their Bishops to End Ban on Contraception
The danger was significant when unintended pregnancy and maternal mortality were the predominant risks, but with the advent of HIV and AIDS, it is essential that individual Catholics speak out. Catholics for Choice will be campaigning around the anniversary and for the rest of the year.
Choice people, listen up: contraception does not prevent HIV and AIDS. These are behavior-related problems. Condoms and birth control pills won’t stop their spread if people are not taught that only abstinence from pertinent behaviors (multiple partners, drug use, homosexual behavior) guarantees immunity from these diseases. Come on, you guys are much smarter than that. If anything, contraception gives people false security — please do not mislead them, especially our youth. That statement up there is a LIE and you know it. If you’re going to insist on giving people a choice, at least make sure it’s an INFORMED CHOICE — informed by the TRUTH.
